Do you have to make a fist with your hands in a fight? Do you have any other positions?

Of course, first of all, the heel is hard, and second, the palm is easy to contact the opponent.

Hand knives are also cruel. Karate originated from the hands of the Tang Dynasty, and there are quite a few techniques in it.

The fist in boxing is flat, on the one hand, because of Wushu itself, on the other hand, because of gloves;

There are all kinds of boxing methods in China schools, such as small boxing, phoenix eye boxing (fingering), eagle claw boxing, snake boxing, tiger boxing and crane boxing ... too many.

In boxing, you should avoid hurting your thumb when you punch someone, so if you punch with your forefinger and other postures, once some parts of your opponent are not parallel, it is easy to stab your wrist when you punch someone (for example, if your opponent leans towards your opponent's arm, your wrist will be easily injured). Some grip methods of China Boxing (such as Xingyi Boxing) have solved this kind of problem very well, and the boxing method is short of change, while the traditional martial arts boxing method can be changed in actual combat, such as big boxing.

So it's not that the grip of boxing is not good, but that the grip of boxing has changed too little after planting gloves due to various reasons (such as bandages in the competition), and I personally think that not all people with any physical characteristics are suitable for clenching fists, and there are always some other grips in China traditional martial arts that are more suitable for them.
