How NOT TO clench your fist

This sort of loose folding must be avoided. The problem is that most of the time, while wearing the glove, a beginner is likely to fold his or her fist in this fashion. This cannot be spotted by the instructor even. But while punching, this loose grip will hurt the wrist and the pain can be rather severe. Also, the severity of the punch or its force would just mean that instead of  injuring the target, u might end up hurting yourself. So check on the right way to punch (see below) before u start on this most basic move in Muay Thai..
