RE: Humans Can Punch - And We're The Only Ones Who Can
What a great write up. I remember those days in high school while i was growing up we punch each other very well just t9 show who is bigger. Have actually done a whole lots of that. My question is, u said most time there is usually low damage to the person punching compare to who is punched. There are sometimes there is dislocation now? Mostly of the wrist causing dropping hand. @suzanrs
If a punch is delivered correctly damage can be minimalised, but never eliminated. As I wrote, damage to the puncher can and does occur. Even in trained professionals. I think the point is that a locked fist punch is more effective that palm punches or slaps which is the way many apes "punch". Lets face it, would your testosterone contests have been effective if limited to slaps ;) Thank you for input.
