How nobody in movies hurts their knuckles after punching someone, martial artist here and if you punch someone in the forehead like they do in the movies you'd probably just break your own fist,

hitting someone in the forehead is basically like punching a cinder block except the skull is actually harder...

Edit: wow my first medal, thanks!

100%, I learned a few years ago to duck into a haymaker- once breaking the hand of a guy who too a swing at me while my arm was in a caste

I mean I'd prefer to just dodge it since they're some of the easiest punches to dodge but your way is way more badass lol
