What is "fist"?
The fist is a hand gesture formed by curling the fingers tightly and folding them inward, with the thumb positioned over the fingers. It represents a closed and clenched hand, symbolizing strength, power, and determination. Making a fist allows for increased grip strength and provides a solid surface for striking or defending oneself. It is commonly used in martial arts, self-defense techniques, and as a gesture of solidarity or determination. Understanding the concept and formation of a fist is important for physical activities, expressive gestures, and cultural symbolism.
