It just looks gnarly, so it's intimidating.
It doesn't hurt nearly as bad as it looks.
Ie Simon's voice barely flinches. The bruising afterwards is kinda bad though. Your hand will def. Be sore for a few days but it's bareable(just like a bruise)
Punching though hurts a tad less, but it's negligeable imo, but sometimes necessary.
My grammar hurts worse...
