Can boxers punch thru boards ?

[Kane Fan]

not every martial artist trains to break boards tho
and not every boxer is out for a combination to win on the scorecards
boxing has a great number of power punchers who could break boards if they decided they were going to do that

It's your wrists that take a beating over time. Punching guys on the elbows and top of the head during fights or sparring...

I'm sure a boxer could punch thru a board... But why? "Boards don't hit back" -Bruce Lee

Actually , boards DO "Hit Back" after a fashion ...

the entire PURPOSE of Breaking is Conditioning the Knuckles , Hands , and Wrists . Thasts why yoiu START with one Boaard , and gradually work your wayu up to quite a few .

Its also WHY its referred to as a "Boxers Fracture" , and not a "Karate Fracture" -

Because BOXERS baby their hands and ultimately weaken them over time by using Wraps and Gloves all the time , then get in a Fight on the steet and their bodies cant withstand the amount of force they can generate without a Crutch .

I think a boxer can break a board without a problem. Punching through one board takes very little skill. Now, resting your finger tips on the board and then punching it takes skill and punching bricks takes skill. One board though? Come on, little kids can do that.

do you think nuckle pushups help condition you for delivering punches?

 

[Djimbe]

yes , to an Extent , but its kind of a Beginner thing . In other words itl only take you so far by itself . But its a GREAT Start , gentle way to get into things . Aftyer a while you juist dont feel it any longer though .

 

[Kane Fan]

good I'll work on that till I dont' feel it anymore then look for something else

If I roll my wrists around on a cold day, it sounds like I'm breaking pieces of uncooked spaghetti.
