The significance of the raised hands gesture is the ability to see an open palm. You can see that nothing is inside the open palm.
It’s also not terribly efficient for humans to attempt an empty handed strike against a person with a flat, open palm this way. Boxing teaches you to throw punches the way it does because it’s the most effective way to deliver energy to a target with empty hands.
