I guest no one has broken thier hand before, I have and it hurts. Worse, I have to wear a stupid cast for two months so the bone can grow back (which starts smelling like rotten eggs the first week), try not to sweat so the smell won't get worse (kinda hard when it accures naturally), shower with a plastic bag over my arm, and have people around me ask, "Hey, whats that smell!?!?"

Mgirl is right. The last two fingers are like tooth picks. Very easy to break. They are not attach to anything accept to your wrist, while the index finger and the middle finger is attach to your forearm bone.

If you condition your knuckles, do you loose sensitivity if so isn't this bad?

Yes, if you condition your knuckles you deaden the nerves and lose feeling. The same happens if you condition your shin, or forearm. Whether its bad or not depends on your point of view, personally I think deliberately destroying your pain response is a bad thing.

I agree that it is a bad thing also. Many fights end up in close quarters and you will need all the sensitivity you can get!
