Lol, it doesn’t make your hands look any different. Where are you people getting this crap from?

Have you all only trained in padded rooms or something? My god.

Do your shins look like mangled, calloused catastrophes even after 10 years of hitting heavy bags every day?

Why would you think your hands would after conditioning them?

It's not even just about conditioning -- it's about learning how to strike PROPERLY.

As I keep pointing out, people who only train with gloves tend to throw punches horrendously in ways you could never throw a punch without gloves on because you'd destroy your hand.

By removing that protection you are forced to learn how to throw punches with the proper alignment and hand positioning.
