Treebranch Posted July 5, 2006 Posted July 5, 2006 Let me know your thoughts on this. Made a lot of sense.http://www.savateaustralia.com/Savate%20Essays/Bare-Knuckles%20to%20Modern%20Boxing.htm "It is easier to find men who will volunteer to die, than to find those who are willing to endure pain with patience.""Lock em out or Knock em out"
parkerlineage Posted July 6, 2006 Posted July 6, 2006 You know what I find really interesting? We only punch vertically to the face - almost never horizontally, because the knuckles line up better.My GM always talks about how boxers "hind behind their pillows". Bare knuckles woudl be a lot more hardcore, I would think. My Professor tells the story of when he broke his hand on someone's face in a dark parking lot because of punching wrong - it's a good thing for everyone to learn.I did find that very interesting!

Treebranch Posted July 6, 2006 Author Posted July 6, 2006 Yeah it's a good article. "It is easier to find men who will volunteer to die, than to find those who are willing to endure pain with patience.""Lock em out or Knock em out"
bushido_man96 Posted July 6, 2006 Posted July 6, 2006 That is a cool article. I like to find history on boxing, but it is hard not to find anything that isn't about current boxing sport news. It does have a rich history, all the way back to the first Olympic games in ancient Greece. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com
ps1 Posted July 6, 2006 Posted July 6, 2006 Interesting article. Although...the reason boxers "corkscrew" their punches is because it allows the deltoid (shoulder muscles) to protect their jaw on the same side while they punch. I think it's a good read overall. Thanks for the link! "It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenius."
Ace2021 Posted July 29, 2006 Posted July 29, 2006 Good read, I always wondered if vertical punching was ethical or not..and it's history. Thanks for showing me the insight. A New Age Dawns
cathal Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 Not bad at all, and illustrated well.What do you guys think of the differences? .The best victory is when the opponent surrendersof its own accord before there are any actualhostilities...It is best to win without fighting.- Sun-tzu
legkicker Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 Interesting article but I wouldn't automatically assume all of it is 100% true. I have read articles in the past that go against some of what this says. I will try to find links to those other articles, asap. I personally only use the verticle punch occasionally, as a jab. I'll do more of a 3/4 corkscrew punch when going bareknuckle. I do agree with some points made in this article basically saying how gloves do give a boxer an advantage and created certain strikes that wouldn't be as effective without gloves.

alsey Posted August 1, 2006 Posted August 1, 2006 when i started looking into grappling in karate, i stumbled on a load of bare knuckle boxing stuff. very interesting. "Gently return to the simple physical sensation of the breath. Then do it again, and again, and again. Somewhere in this process, you will come face-to-face with the sudden and shocking realization that you are completely crazy. Your mind is a shrieking, gibbering madhouse on wheels." - ven. henepola gunaratana
