Honestly, that is lack of training and/or technique. If you hit someone and break your own hand, you should either hit them less hard or it’s a life-or-death situation and a broken hand is the least or your worries, right?
Both. How many girls throw hands all the time vs boys, whose entire childhood was one slugfest (for me, at least).
When girls hit girls, or boys who don’t want to hurt them, it’s not very damaging. The former has padding and weak muscles on either side, the latter has a trained professional limiting the damage.
I don’t understand the last point. If anyone, regardless of gender, were to punch me, and broke their own hand, I could hardly prevent that, right? Unless by dodging, in which case the punching and hand breaking does not apply at all. I can’t make my skull less hard.
You can take the force out of their blow by moving with it, instead of presenting a solid, immovable target. The punch will still connect, but won’t do much damage. Takes skill though.
