How to protect your hands if you are forced to fight

If it's life or death, being called a pussy for the rest of your life is worth being able to walk away alive :/ Most martial arts clubs tell you to run away from a street fight if possible. As for killing or fatally wounding someone, again, if it's life or death, anything goes.

Yeah if they have a weapon such as a knife, bat, or iron fist (forgot the name). I'd run too but if it's fist to fist, i'm not backing down.

You're thinking of brass knuckles

Thank you, I was going crazy cause a couple years ago, a friend of mine had silver brass knuckles with wolfs on the front. His dad took them from him, hit the stair banister and said "that's why they're illegal"

My grandfather used to have a pair of brass knuckles, he was a badass.
