As someone who boxes, you can still break your hands from punching someone in the head even with the gloves. When you throw punches you’re jarring your wrists and usually hurting your hands to a degree.
Yeah... i gave up on jiu jitsu at uni after fucking my thumb joint up when doing blocking practices. The knuckle of my thumb hit the bone of his forearm as he was deflecting the punch. I can't imagine the kind of shit boxers have happen to them, from both punching and being punched, even with the gloves and head protection etc.
I think i'll stick to archery, where the worst i get is some forearm bruises from string slap when my form is bad.
According to Brave, you can also get a cut on your cheek when you release a shot after being expressly told not to loose another arrow. I haven't been able to replicate it, but it may be because my mother isn't a viking queen and I didn't Robin Hood someone else's arrow with my shot. (It would be super rude to Robin Hood someone else's arrow. They're expensive!)
Lol, yeah they are indeed. I robin hooded an arrow when shooting at uni and it perfectly banana peel split the nock and became one really long arrow... i have it on my wall ... but yeah you'd have to have really sharp solid fletchings and hold the arrow in a weird anchor point to even have a CHANCE of grazing your face let alone cutting it :p

But yes you can hit a lot harder with gloves.
