Why do you think boxers wrap their hands

No never seen any getting popped knuckles, but I only been around the “semi” contact fighting of traditional karate. But knockdowns/outs happened without knuckles getting bad.
I’ve punched out three teeth’s on opponents, although had to stich together the skin on one pinky finger knuckle.
I thought about this why boxers binding their hands after looking through a boxing magazine, they seem to wrap’em so tight and big it seem more as an enhancement of their own knuckles to produce a more “massive” strike, does the MMA fighter also do this ?
I seem to recall hat aJack Dempsey wrote about bare knuckle fighting how to not throw full power strikes to opponents head, make sense.



@Steve James, if I remember right Bas Rutten initially fought in Shoot Fighting where rules are only palm strikes to the head? However he might have carried on with that later in the “regular” MMA

I'm not a 'fighter' in the terms discussed here, but I'll allow myself a couple of remarks.

Steve James wrote:I think it's possible to fight with unwrapped hands, as long as you don't punch anything hard with your knuckles. Bas Rutten made a career using palm strikes to knock out opponents. And then, a good strategy is to use fists for body shots.


Which is pretty much what any decent Tai Chi form reflects: palm strikes, hand-edge strikes, finger strikes and maybe backfists high, and then fist strikes medium to low.

Used to know a doctor who worked in the casualty department in Hamburg. He said on Saturday nights he was always seeing guys come in with broken hands/knuckles from fights, and on at least one occasion he'd seen a guy come in with a tooth embedded between his knuckles. Ouch, also infection-wise.
Do not make the mistake of giving up the near in order to seek the far.

I broke my hand with gloves on. But, that was in an open kung fu tournament where hand wrapping wasn't done. It was stupid --not to wrap-- but fair for everyone. Anyway, it was a punch to the other guy's forehead that did it. Lesson learned.

I think I can hit just as hard with the palm heel as with the front of the fist. I should I say I can hit hard enough with other parts of the hand. That's not even mentioning that hitting with an improperly formed fist makes injury even more likely.

But, using correct technique, the fists are perfect for striking the torso. I do tend to agree that that's why there's a notable absence of high "punches" in tcc. The only one I know is the "Double Phoenix fist" punch, and that one doesn't even use a conventional fist. [Ok, I think every palm (hand) can be turned into a fist, spear, etc. I'm just saying I don't know of m/any high punches in the traditional Yang tcc long form. I'm not saying that they can't be done or that someone doesn't do them.]

Fuckin' a right. So many SE Asian kids tried to jump me over the years - there were a lot of "boat people" in Stockton. Kindergarten onward it was just sheer hostility from day 1 until freshman year of high school when I had gained a modicum of respect and a reputation for retard strength and "dirty" fighting. The big jocks and karate kids were easy fights in comparison to those quick, vicious Cambodian, Laos, and Thai kids. The Vietamese left me alone because my mom was a career counselor at a local college and got a few of their older siblings jobs.

Thanks. Girodano has a documentary "Born Warriors." The art is called Lethwei aka “the art of nine limbs” which includes headbutts. The more traditional rules include wrapped hands, no gloves and you win by knockout or it's a draw, no points.

Born Warriors Redux focuses on the sport of Lethwei after the opening of the country to the outside world.

Part one focuses on the rise of the modern training camp. Even though many are still raw and rudimentary, they are progressing their training and training methods to move with the times:

Born Warriors on Oct 20, 2014 wrote:In Part Two of our outtakes series, we take a further look at Lethwei's training routines visiting a once popular camp in Mandalay. Poverty and a scarcity of tournaments typically force Lethwei fighters to train anywhere they can - from spartan backyards to temple grounds. Some Burmese Lethwei camps manage to cobble together a reasonable amount of equipment, but the resources of most fall far below the level of the poorest and most basic Muay Thai camps in Thailand. The situation is slowly changing, but this glimpse from the past shows how, even in the worst conditions, fighters can train hard and gain advantage in the ring.

Saya Aung appears in both Born Warriors and Born Warriors Redux. Some of the footage presented here dates back to 1999 and shows the evolution of his camp through the years:

Are there any martial arts that spar with palm strikes to the head?
