Out like a light! an introduction to bare knuckle boxing for self-defense Anyone can throw a punch, all that takes is the willingness to smash your hand into something. Anyone can take a punch, all that requires is a punch you can't avoid. It takes more than this to be a bare knuckle boxer. It isn't a hard fist or harder head that makes a skillful boxer. Its knowing what to hit, how to hit it, when to hit it and most importantly how to do all of that without being hit back! It is this knowledge that separates the true bare knuckle boxer from the typical street brawler. Knowledge doesn't insure victory but when combined with practice it can provide consistency and that is a key component in winning. So when the time comes and someone is going out like a light, who will it be? You? or them?
