Alright, let’s talk about this boxin’ stuff. You wanna know if it’s against the rules to punch arms, huh? Well, lemme tell ya, it ain’t like hittin’ someone in the street. They got rules, ya know, kinda like when you’re playin’ cards, gotta follow the rules or you’re cheatin’.
So, in boxin’, you can punch the arms. Yeah, you heard that right. You can hit ’em in the arms, from the hand all the way up to the shoulder. Them boxers, they use their arms to block, so hittin’ the arms, well, it’s part of the game. It ain’t no foul, see? It’s like… tryin’ to get past a fence, ya gotta move the fence outta the way first, right? Same thing with the arms.
Now, the whole point of boxin’ is to hit the other fella, but not just anywhere. You gotta hit ‘em in the head or the body, with your knuckles. That’s how you get points. And points is what wins the fight, just like gettin’ more eggs in the basket than the other lady at the market.
- Head shots? Good.
- Body shots? Good.
- Arm shots? Okay too! It helps you get those good head and body shots in.
But there’s stuff you can’t do. It ain’t no street brawl, like I said. You can’t be elbowin’ folks. That’s for them other fightin’ styles, not boxin’. And you can’t be hittin’ someone in the kidneys neither. That’s just plain nasty, and against the rules. Kidneys are on your back, kinda low, and hittin’ them is a big no-no. Like steppin’ on someone’s good tomatoes, just don’t do it!
And listen to this, you can’t be holdin’ onto the ropes and hittin’ at the same time. That’s cheatin’! You gotta stand on your own two feet, fair and square. And you can’t hold the other fella and hit him neither. That ain’t boxin’, that’s just… well, that’s just wrong.
Then there’s this rabbit punch thing. Don’t go hittin’ someone in the back of the head, at the bottom of the skull. That’s dangerous, real dangerous. They call it a rabbit punch, I don’t know why, maybe rabbits got a soft spot there or somethin’. But it’s bad, don’t do it.
You can kinda… poke and prod, you know? Like you’re testin’ the waters, reachin’ out without actually throwin’ a punch. That’s alright, long as you ain’t doin’ it to be a nuisance. It’s part of the strategy, like circlin’ around a chicken before you snatch it up.
So, to make it plain and simple, hittin’ arms? Perfectly fine. Elbowin’, hittin’ the kidneys, holdin’ and hittin’, rabbit punchin’? Big no-nos. You gotta fight clean, even if you’re tryin’ to knock the other fella’s socks off. It’s like bakin’ a cake, you gotta follow the recipe, or it ain’t gonna turn out right. Same with boxin’.
And that’s about all there is to it. You wanna box, you learn the rules. You wanna hit arms, go ahead. Just don’t be doin’ nothin’ dirty, and you’ll be alright. It ain’t rocket science, it’s just boxin’. Now go on, and don’t get yourself into too much trouble.
Remember, boxin’ ain’t just about punchin’ hard. It’s about bein’ smart, bein’ strategic, and fightin’ fair. And sometimes, that means hittin’ those arms to open up a shot. It’s all part of the game, just like knowin’ when to water the crops and when to harvest ‘em.
