Should my guard be with fists or open hands?

Ive always wondered this, is it better (in mma and in the streets aswell) to build that reflex of keeping ur arm in guard when punching whith a closed / loose fist , or an open hand, i tried to do it with open hands and couldnt coordinate, should i build that reflex or is a fist fine. Bcz i feel like the impact from a fist guarded punch would be worse yk. submitted by /u/Immediate-Hearing-71 [link] [comments]
