Bare knuckle

[guy b.]

A couple of clips for those who think people's heads explode as soon as gloves are removed:

No death. No broken faces. Just a few cuts.

What's the problem with sparring bare handed?

[PalmStriker]

Pummelhead sportfighting without protective gear is nothing new and will be around for some time to come, just like rockwall mountain climbing without any ropes or gear to speak of. Less allowance for "**** happenings".

[YouKnowWho]

No death. No broken faces. Just a few cuts.

You can drive a car without seat belt and air bag. If you don't have car accident, there will be "no death, no broken faces, not even cuts".

[LFJ]

No death. No broken faces.

No guy b. No Ving Tsun.

Its also not sparring or training its fighting, want to know how those guys train, ill give you a hint the irish lads hit the local boxing gym and train with, gasp gloves, some of them even have good amateur records
So to reiterate what LFJ said and to add to it, no guy b, no Ving Tsun and no training clips just fights

Please show standard training clips from your club with guys going at it hard every week with no gloves on, until then shut up and stop trolling

Lol you weren't paying much attention were you?

[guy b.]

No guy b. No Ving Tsun.

Results of no glove fighting demonstrated. Tick. No exploded heads. Tick.

Car accident happened. Result equals no exploded head

You can most definitely fight bare knuckle on a regular basis.
You shouldn't of course BUT some bare knuckle fighting ( testing is not a bad idea).
You can most definitely train bare knuckle on a regular basis.
You shouldn't (for obvious reasons) nor do you have to.

Honestly, we dispelled the myth of the "full contact bare knuckle trainer VS the trainer with protective gear" decades ago.

Correct. Glad someone is able to see reason

I disagree, because bare knuckle is intrinsically different to gloved and it pays to be familiar with it since it is what you will be doing in an actual fight. You have some bare knuckle karate background, yes?

Kyokushin, yes and also Vale tudo when it was bare knuckle and no weight limits.
In neither did we TRAIN head shots bare knuckled.
Honestly, in over 35 years of MA training I have never TRAINED/SPARRED bare knuckle with head shots.
Have always used gloves OR protective face gear.
I don't see a value in training bear knuckle face shots.
Testing yes, but daily training? Nope.

Who suggested daily training bare knuckle face shots?

Did you train body shots bare knuckled? i.e. did you train for the reality of kyokushin competition?
