I almost didn’t post this because I thought I might be getting a little too preachy. I did some research into Hypothenar hammer syndrome and was a little disturbed. But after reading more learned that nobody’s certain it’s caused by hammering with your palm.

The second thing I wondered was if the guys who break S@#$ with their palms in the martial arts have problems later with their hands. I know they’re taught the “right” way to do it, but let’s face it there still has to be a lot of soft tissue trauma.

I also wonder why there aren’t more companies selling a product like this. Or if maybe a good pair of gloves would help with the shock.
