Bladed Weapons

Just a little side note on boxing: much like many martial arts, boxing is based upon bladed weapons in a number of ways. Usually, if the system of boxing you are working is based heavily on angles and agulated fighting, then you are probably following a number of principles based upon bladed weapons.

Is there much of a contribution to fighting since removing the blades would render the system useless, right? Well, while it is true there is no sword in your hand, but many of the body mechanics from weapons fighting are transferred to boxing and this can greatly enhance empty hand fighting ability.
