Why do athletes wear gloves in boxing and Sanda competitions?
Boxing and Sanda are both sports, not a "life and death" contest on the battlefield. How can we forget the past events that caused injuries and disabilities in Wulin in the old society? The purpose of wearing gloves is to protect the physical safety of athletes, which is the embodiment of "civilization" and promotes the healthy development of this sport. The rules of boxing have already been set, needless to say, just Sanda!

The initial Sanda, vest shorts, and then put on "head protection", "chest protection" and "crotch protection" to be armed like astronauts, and elbow and knee attacks are not allowed, and repeated blows to the head are not allowed. It is difficult for both athletes to "fall down quickly", so it is not an exaggeration to say that it is "boxing plus legs". At that time, the rules stipulated that people who played twice in a game were defeated no matter what method they used, so the result was that players were often seen pushing each other. Many athletes who had the advantage of points were extremely depressed after being pushed off the ring. It's really interesting to think about it.

In recent years, Sanda has been continuously reformed and gradually integrated with the world fighting. In many large-scale competitions, heavy "equipment" such as head protectors and chest protectors have been removed, leaving only gloves and crotch protectors. Technically, the fist, knee and elbow are gradually released, allowing heavy punches, which increases the appreciation and is recognized by most Chinese people. It's not easy for it to come to this step, so everyone should support it!

If you like all kinds of lethal "kung fu" such as palm, fingering and grasping, try joining the ranks of armed police and special police! When I was an armed police, many heavy tactics were used to deal with bad guys, but this was a professional need. As an ordinary person, even if you learn these powerful means, you should use them with caution, otherwise, once you offend the other party, it is difficult to resign from legal investigation!
