Depending on how straight it is along your arm from Radius/Ulna to your wrist/hand...

If it is pretty straight,

have you ever punched anything
Can you do push ups on your fists??
Can you make a fist with your hands??

If so, I think from what you describe is actually a blessing more than it is a defect....

here is why....

We stay on our fighters about keeping their wrists straight when it comes to punching, it helps make them harder when connecting....Also, if the joint is fused, but strong, I think your punches would be like steel clubs with gloves on them or like a battering ram...making for good straight hard punches....

Be sure to talk to your Doctor though....

All we can give here is opinions and suggestions...

I would like to see how you hit the bag though....

If I am correct, you could have the upperhand, or should I say "upper-arm" when it comes to throwing punches...


Good Luck,

Coach
I am glad I read before I posted.. I agree with coach ! the straight wrist thing could be a benefit, but without seeing your condition its really hard to comment further. I will say this, I am pretty sure you can do anything you put your mind too, there are always ways to adapt to situations. its about overcoming adversity , reminds me of this fighter Craig Gator Bodzianowski 31-4-1 (24kos) who was a Cruiserweight got into motorcycle crash, had a leg amputated, came back and won the WBC Continental Cruiserweight title on one leg. Where there’s a will there’s a way . Good Luck I wish you the best !
