What is held when fighting?

Question

When a person fights and they put something in there fist to make it harder what are they called, how do they help and what are objects I could use?

Answer 1

You may have heard that during prison fights, and also in free wresting from groups like the WWE.

I think these hidden weapons inside fists are called "mystery shanks".

These "shanks" do not have to be sharp objects. Tennis balls and other similar balls could be used; stress balls can be used too.

In the old days of capoeira, there were stories of capoeristas using knives in their hands...and sometimes the knives were hidden in the hands to make the opponent so scared.

Answer 2

People can hold stuff in their hand to add weight to their fists as they throw punches, I think that's what your talking about.

Just about anything that is small enough to be held in a clenched fist, a great one is a roll of quarters.

Answer 3

Actually holding something while hitting makes it more likely to break a finger, or jar your hand.

Learn to hit properly.

A recently deceased master gave me this advice upon our first meeting.

"Start with the pinky, we have to learn that the smallest things are most important, roll your pinky down half way, then the ring, then the middle, then the index, Now roll all the fingers down completely, squeeze inward with the pinky and the index, towards eachother, press down with the index and middle fingers, now close the thumb over the first two fingers and squeeze the whole thing inward."

Answer 4

They are called Brass Knuckles.

There are also variants of it. Some flat, some spiked.

Oh....uh, bats.....beer bottles.....rods.....etc.

Answer 5

I've heard a roll of coins works well.

Answer 6

Anything to fill your hand, a small cellphone, zippo lighter, a rock, anything like that

Answer 7

Are you talking about Brass Knuckles?

lol I believe people hold lighters in their hands. but don't do this you shouldn't fight.

Make love not .. 13 year olds fist fighting.

Answer 8

just holding anything solid in you fist will make your fist heavier and slightly harder so you will punch harder.

Answer 9

Your heart and soul.

Answer 10

Use the forks Homer

Answer 11

its called a fist pack.  Its main purpose is to eliminate the gap that exists between your fingers and palm when you make a fist.  It makes your hand a solid object that is unyielding when you strike your opponent, thus making your punches more powerful.  A bic lighter works extraordinarily well for this application..Trust me on that

Answer 12

its a fist pack. nothing in particular, it could be a co2 cartridge, a lighter, a roll of quarters. its not to make it harder its to add mass. FORCE = MASS x ACCELERATION

Answer 13

It's thought that holding a hard object in your fist it will make it stronger. This will only help if you hit with the incorrect part of your fist which is dangerous even if you are holding something. I suggest you just learn to hit properly. You hit with the top knuckles of your index and middle finger.

Answer 14

You hold anything in your fist to make your fist 'heavier' and hit harder.

Ever heard the phrase 'heavy handed' in boxing or mma? its quite literal. Some people, no matter how strong just arnt heavy handed, so they  add weight to their hands to hit harder.

Answer 15

your fist is only as hard as your skin and bones.  you can increase the weight of the fist by holding weights inside a glove.

Not too honorable.
