The Fist: The Worst Weapon of Your Body @KING OF THE STREETS

Watch on YouTube · 2026-03-09 · 25 min

0:00 Hey guys, a lot of you enjoy these videos about fighting and self-defense. Which is why today I'm going to be reviewing another video of the King of the Streets YouTube channel. And after that, I will talk about punching once again, but in much more detail.

0:25 Czech Republic and Poland. Okay, kurwa.

1:07 it's funny how different this is if you compare it to a natural fight it's also funny how they were holding up their fists at the beginning later on in the video you will understand why it's funny

1:32 As I was saying in the other video, oftentimes you will simply be punching the air. And in nature, you don't have a second chance. You cannot just punch the air a bit, maybe some parts of the body, maybe make some scratches. It's already over then. Hands up, hands up, Adam, hands up.

[video] 1:53 Low, low, no, no.

2:22 Typically, naturally, you wouldn't even get close to a human being, seeing as we always attack from the distance. If possible, we are throwers in the first place. but if you do get close to somebody which would happen of course sometimes then you would never go to them and then stand like this defend yourself because you wouldn't be defending yourself against fists but uh when you participate in fights like this then that's what you expect understandably that's how slaves fight today because They don't have weapons. They are not allowed to do what they really want to do. Although, to be fair, king of the streets has a lot less rules than most of these fighting sports.

3:27 Using the elbow is already way more effective than the fist, of course. It's not always possible. But when it comes to your bones, the strength of your bones, your elbows are simply way more useful. But they are not always useful in the sense that you cannot always get the right angle.

3:55 Come on!

[video] 4:14 No! No! No! No!

4:35 It's clever that they don't have long hair, especially for these kind of fights, because I'm pretty sure that it's allowed to grab the hair.

4:54 okay he is using the elbow now makes way more sense you can break your hand i assume that their hands are more used to it of course but still it can always happen and most importantly it simply doesn't do enough damage which is what you want to do of course when you do these kind of sports

5:30 He went for the eyes just like the last guy. Wow. Very good. As far as a fighting style goes. This is what you should be doing to win. And in this case, in this sport, that's what it's all about. You just need to win. I don't know if these guys get any money. Not that it would actually mean anything. You know my stance on money, but at least it would be something in the system. I hope that they get something out of it.

6:09 He shows the eyes as if, hey, what the fuck? You're not allowed to do that or something. Did he not understand? I actually thought that he would lose. He wasn't doing too well. But as you can see, a bit of eye gouging and there you go.

6:32 Fuck you. Or what did he do? I love the guy.

6:41 Now I'm going to be reviewing a video called Stop Punching. A subscriber of mine sent it to me.

[video] 6:48 27 bones. That is the total count of the human hand. Together, they make up roughly one quarter of all the bones in your entire body. They are a miracle of evolutionary engineering, refined over millions of years to thread needles, play concertos, and grip tools with surgical precision. but as a weapon for striking a solid object, they are a catastrophic design failure. If you were to design a tool specifically meant to deliver high velocity impact to a dense, curved surface like a human skull, the hand is the last thing you would choose. It is too light.

7:17 Exactly. And that's because it's not designed for striking. And that's why I find it funny that these fighters put up their fists and generally signal with their fists.

[video] 7:34 Too intricate and far too fragile. Yet in every movie, every video game and every modern sports broadcast, the closed fist is celebrated as the ultimate symbol of power.

7:45 exactly and you need to think about why who is behind it and why do you have this kind of a mindset it's a slave mindset because a natural human always creates weapons and looks for anything to throw that's what your hands are for when it comes to fighting dominating we are taught from childhood that to fight is to punch we are told that the fist is a hammer Exactly. And that's what I mean. Who told you that? Was it your idea? No, of course not. You played a street fighter, you watched some movies, and that's how you learned it. Maybe some boxing here and there, your father watched it, and that's how you get brainwashed.

8:38 Because in reality, naturally, nobody punches, nobody runs up to somebody and then... sees who can punch better. That would never happen. It would already be over, as I said before, if you would try to do that.

[video] 8:55 This is one of the most dangerous lies in the history of combat. In the high-stakes world of professional street fighting and the emergency rooms of every major city, there is a specific medical term for the result of this lie, the boxer's fracture. It occurs when the small, slender, metacarpal bones of the hand snap under the pressure of an impact they were never meant to sustain. It happens in a split second, a sickening crack that sounds more like a dry twig snapping than a heroic blow. In that moment, the weapon becomes a liability. A fighter who relies on their fists is a fighter who is always one inch away from permanent disability. And yet we continue to swing.

9:33 Right, but the thing is that seeing as you are not allowed to have weapons in a lot of countries, in some you still can and that's great that you can, you will of course start relying on your body more understandable because you want to defend yourself in some way. And that's why people learn all of these fighting sports. And when you go up against somebody who also learned them, then you may be able to win, of course, because you're both losers. But if you fight against anybody who uses his intuition, who fights naturally, then it's impossible.

[video] 10:14 i'll explain at the end of this video why it is so we ignore the fact that the human skull is a reinforced dome of bone designed to protect the most vital organ in the body while the hand is a delicate lattice of joints and tendons designed for manipulation not destruction This isn't just an anatomical observation. It is a historical mystery. If you look back at the ancient manuals of war, from the dusty scrolls of Chinese Kung Fu to the brutal techniques of the Greek Pankration, you see something very different from the modern boxing ring. You see palms, elbows, forearms, and claws. You see warriors who understood that the head is a rock

10:48 claws that's also an interesting point because humans nature have much stronger nails and of course you cannot compare them to the nails of a tiger but if it's human against human if you're trying to save the life of your family for example then If they are strong, they will actually usually be more useful than a lot of the parts of your body. Your fist, for sure, anyway.

[video] 11:20 The hand is a glass vase. They knew that in a real struggle for survival, breaking your own hand on an opponent's jaw is a suicide mission. So how did we get here? How did the most fragile part of our upper body become our primary weapon? Why did we trade the devil?

11:35 And that's crazy, and that's true, and it's absolutely insane, but everything is upside down. Some of the guys, when I made the first video about fighting, it wasn't really the first one, but the first review, they couldn't really grasp it because this is what you are told your whole life. If you fight, then you punch and maybe kick. To then think that it's the worst thing that you can do is strange. because you also believe that raw meat is unhealthy some people believe that the sun is unhealthy and so on a lot of people believe the opposite of the truth so when i come along and say that you've been lied to and not only that you've been told the opposite of the truth everything is backwards then it sounds crazy understandably

[video] 12:25 Ancient martial systems like Baguazhang or certain styles of karate understood this deeply. They didn't view the empty hand as a fist. They viewed it as a versatile tool where the fist was the least reliable option. So why does the world think the punch is king? The answer lies in a piece of equipment that was designed to save lives but ended up changing the nature of violence forever. The boxing glove. Before the introduction of the London Prize Ring rules and the subsequent Marquess of Queensberry rules, boxing was a bare-knuckle affair. If you look at the sketches and early photographs of 18th century fighters, their stances look bizarre to a modern eye. They stood with their hands low, their chests out, and their palms often facing upward or outward. This wasn't for style. It was for survival. In the bare-knuckle era, hitting someone in the head with a fist was considered a rookie mistake. A fighter who aimed for the skull was likely to break his hand in the first round and lose the fight. Instead, bare-knuckle boxers targeted the body, the ribs, the solar plexus, the liver. They used the fist to dig into soft tissue.

[video] 13:23 When they did strike the head, they often used the palms or the forearms. The classic boxing punch, the high-velocity jab or the looping overhand, was almost non-existent because it was simply too risky. The sport was slower, more tactical, and focused on grappling and endurance. Everything changed when we put pillows on our hands. The boxing glove was marketed as a safety device, intended to stop the cuts and facial bruising that made the sport look barbaric to the Victorian public. But the law of unintended consequences took over. By wrapping the hand in...

13:51 That's pretty much what I mean. It's a kindergarten sport. Boxing. With gloves. Look at it. It's a child with gloves on.

[video] 14:03 Layers of tape and covering it with a padded glove. We effectively turned the fragile hand into a protected club.

14:11 Think about it. Really. You sit there and you watch two guys doing the least possible amount of damage to each other, and you call that a fighting sport?

[video] 14:24 Suddenly, a fighter could swing at an opponent's head with maximum force without the fear of breaking their metacarpals. The glove didn't protect the recipient. It protected the striker's hand, allowing them to deliver a volume and intensity of head trauma that was previously impossible. This is the glove paradox. In bare-knuckle fighting, deaths were rare because the hand would break long before the brain sustained a fatal injury. But with gloves, the safety of the hand allowed for the destruction of the brain.

14:50 Exactly, and as you could see in the other video that I created, after a while, they do suffer from brain damage.

[video] 15:00 The modern punch was born in this artificial environment. We created a weapon that only works if you are wearing protective gear. We spent a century perfecting a technique that is biologically unsustainable in a naked state. Now take that glove off. Take a modern professional...

15:13 Exactly, and that's why you have never seen any humans in nature punch. Just never. No recorded cases. because only a slave would think of that and in this case really you were just brainwashed to do it as i said it's not as if you thought of it boxer or an mma fighter and put them in a real world self-defense situation

[video] 15:38 They have spent thousands of hours conditioning their brain to swing a closed fist at a human head as hard as possible. But without the tape, without the wraps, and without the 10 ounce glove, that perfect punch is a self-destruct button. This is why you see so many professional fighters injuring themselves in street brawls or unsanctioned matches. Their technique is optimized...

15:56 Yes, I think that Mike Tyson also broke his hand in a street fight. And you would assume that he was really used to it. But it's just not made for it.

[video] 16:23 If we look at the old masters of the East, we find a much more cynical and realistic approach to the hand. We have to move past the knuckles and look at the hidden weapons of the upper body. Tools that are biologically designed for impact, yet are almost entirely overlooked by the average person. The most devastating of these is the elbow. In Muay Thai, the elbow is referred to as the surgical blade, but its utility goes far beyond cutting skin. From a structural perspective, the elbow is the ultimate striking surface.

16:50 It's better than using a fist, but compared to everything else, it's not really that useful. In certain situations, sure.

[video] 17:01 It is the end of the humerus, the thickest, strongest bone in the arm. It has no small joints to compress, no ligaments to tear, and no fragile metacarpals to snap. When you strike with the elbow, you are essentially hitting someone with a baseball bat made of living bone. Because the distance from the shoulder to the elbow is much shorter than the distance to the fist, you can generate significantly more rotational power with much less effort. It is a shorter, more compact lever. In the heat of a struggle, a shorter weapon is harder to stop Harder to see.

17:29 Typically, you won't be able to use your elbow, but if somebody grabs you from behind and you're a bit lucky, then of course you can hit them in the head as self-defense.

[video] 17:45 and much more difficult to jam. This is why, in real-world close-quarters combat, the elbow is king. It is a fail-safe weapon. You can throw an elbow with everything you've got against the hardest part of a human head, and the only thing that will break is the target. The myth of the five fingers falls apart the moment you realize that a two-inch movement of the elbow can deliver more stopping power than a massive haymaker punch with zero risk of breaking your own arm. but the elbow is just the tip of the spear. In certain styles of karate, practitioners spend years striking wooden posts with their forearms to thicken the bone itself. They aren't trying to make their fists harder. They are turning their entire arm into a bludgeon. They understood that the hand is for grabbing and pulling. The striking is done by the structural reinforcements of the arm. If we look at the history of the samurai, the punch is almost entirely absent from their unarmed syllabus. This wasn't because...

[video] 18:33 if you generally look at the so-called history then you will not find anything about punching because they were noble or peaceful it was because they were practical a samurai on a 16th century battlefield was wearing armor made of iron and lacquered leather if he lost his sword and had to fight unarmed punching an armored opponent would be an act of madness it would be like trying to fight a tank with a handful of glass ornaments instead they used atemi strikes the vital points using the forearm or the heel of the palm They used the hand to grab the helmet or the armor plate and then delivered massive jarring blows with the elbows and knees to the gaps in the protection. They viewed the fist as a niche tool used primarily for striking the soft throat or the back of the neck once the opponent was already down. The idea of standing in front of an enemy and trading punches was a foreign concept to them because it ignored the reality of the human

19:21 Exactly, it was a foreign concept. And it is a concept. It's not something that you intuitively do. It's not part of your nature.

[video] 19:33 This brings us to the most controversial weapon in the human arsenal, the headbutt. Often dismissed as thug tactics, the headbutt is actually the most biologically sound punch a human can throw. The top...

19:45 I don't necessarily agree with that but it's a lot better than what he showed so far. And again, it depends on the situation. In some situations, you would be able to use it. Nowadays, because people are conditioned, you could use it a lot of times to defend yourself, but back in the day, not so much.

[video] 20:10 Top of the human skull, the crown, is the thickest part of our skeletal structure. It is a massive, solid helmet of bone. When used correctly, hitting the soft parts of the opponent's face, like the nose or the chin, with the hard crown of your head, It is the closest thing to a one-hit knockout that exists in nature. It requires no windup and no telegraphing with the shoulders. In the five-finger myth culture, we are told to use our weakest bones to...

20:35 This reminds me of a video. Maybe some of you have seen it. I think that it was maybe filmed in Germany. I'm not sure. Somewhere in Europe. It was a video of these guys arguing on a bus. One guy was older. The other one was maybe around 20. And they were about to fight. But then the younger guy headbutted him. and I guess that he maybe broke the nose and then after that they were both arguing kind of being tough but then all of a sudden the older guy wanted to call the police because then you do some kind of real damage but the other guy was being just as aggressive but once you actually do something Oh, police, polizei, polizei. It's typical. Because you're expected to use your fists.

21:35 You're expected to not do any damage. Once somebody uses their head, which isn't the worst thing that you can do. What I mean by that is that it's not the most effective thing. It's not bad, of course, but that's how people would see it in the system.

[video] 21:51 then right away they freak out and they need help it's just funny i see this a lot it is the ultimate hard on soft application yet because it doesn't look clean on a television screen it is banned in most combat sports further reinforcing it's not because it doesn't look clean it's because it does actual damage the illusion that the fist is the only way to fight the real difference between a punch and a heavy strike like

22:19 If you believe that it's the only way to fight, then you're completely lost.

[video] 22:24 Then there is the throat, the most obvious and neglected target in the history of fair fighting. In a real world struggle, where there are no referees to step in, the throat is the ultimate off switch. The myth of the five fingers makes us forget that the hand can be used as a C-clamp or a web strike. A high-velocity strike with the web of the hand between the thumb and index finger into the windpipe isn't a technical move, it's a survival move. It ends the confrontation instantly because it attacks the very thing every human needs, air. The old systems of Jiu-Jitsu and Chinese Chin-Na were built around these dirty realities.

22:56 Right, and those are not dirty realities, those are actual realities, because it's what you would naturally do.

[video] 23:05 Right, and that's because it wasn't some sport.

23:16 people were taught how to defend themselves when somebody actually attacked you when it was essentially life or death the last video was pretty good i guess that it was made by ai but i assumed that an actual human had the idea for it and then he used ai to create it Whatever the case, it's true what was said about the fist and punching. People don't realize that in nature, in the first place, you use weapons and you fight from a distance. You would be using sharp objects and if you wouldn't have any weapons, then you would try to find something to throw.

24:03 And if all of that would fail, then you would attack somebody with your body, but you wouldn't run up to them and then stand while keeping this distance from each other. That's delusional. No, you would jump on somebody and you would right away attack the most vulnerable parts, which would be the reproductive organs, the eyes, you would bite them. This is the reality, but you don't live in reality. You watch Hollywood movies, you go and box with gloves on as if you're in a kindergarten. This is what fighting is today. But to actually defend yourself when you really need to, you need to go back to nature. And that's what humans generally need to do when it comes to everything.

25:02 Thanks for watching.
