IS BARE KNUCKLE BOXING SAFE?

It has been scientifically proven that getting punched off a glove does more concussive damage to the brain than getting hit off a bare or wrapped fist. Our motto is ‘you can fix broken bones but you can’t mend broken Brains’. Ultimately as we have seen tragically over the years in gloved boxing, it is this damage to the brain’s blood supply that causes such deadly and life-changing injuries.
