Do NOT Punch in a Street Fight

Okay guys, so I'm going to be teaching you today why you should avoid punching in the street and you're better off palming, which is hitting open hand. First of all, I've worked as a bouncer for about seven years in clubs. I've seen guys the size of a rock bust their hands on guys' knuckles. Why? Because when people throw punches and they fight, what do they do? They flinch. When they flinch, they close their eyes and duck their head, which means what? A lot of the punches, a lot of the shots I've seen is a guy getting them right on top of the head. The strongest bone in the body is the head. So if I flinch, even a guy this big will bust his knuckles on my head. Is he going to knock me out? Maybe yes, maybe no. But I've seen guys start hammering this hard and actually do more damage on the guy's hand than on the guy's head and not knock him out, especially under adrenaline. Also with a punch, the thing is with a punch, all it does is this, back and forth, right? If I decide to hit open hand, number one, even if I miss, I'm still going to hit my target. Also by hitting open hand, right? Anywhere I hit in the head, across, in the jaw, underneath the face, I'm not doing any damage on my hands. Also, it has a much easier release from a passive stand and a much quicker follow through, which means if I palm, I can rake, I can crank the neck, I can eye gouge, I can crush the throat, I can come around. Whereas a punch will only do this, the palm will palm, my fingers will rake, my hands will crank, I can pull his hair, I can crush his throat, I can neck crank him. So there's a better release from passive stance and a much better follow through and a much better way to just use so many more strikes, much quicker than going into punching. Especially in close quarter, I'd rather go with open hand. And again, you're keeping your knuckles safe, right? If you bust your hands in the middle of a fight and the guy pulls out a knife or you're a one-handed fighter, you've still got to fight. Under adrenaline, you'll still be able to move, but your body will initially shut down and you'll feel it, that there's something wrong with my hand or something's wrong, your body will still go through it and still be able to fight. But again, I prefer keeping everything open hand and striking just this way using my palms.
