"Then form a fist, tucking your thumb in."
For clarification's sake:
Never, ever wrap your fingers around your thumb before throwing a punch. You will break your thumb.
To form a proper fist, hold your hand out flat, curl your four fingers into your palm, then tuck your thumb along the second joint of your fingers.

Thanks, must have remembered it wrong - its been a while :)
It's a common beginner's mistake. This, along with sticking your thumb out straight, which is another good way of getting your thumb broken.
These are mistakes that you only make once. ;-)
People like u/LoneWulf will be important in a revolution. Great teacher.
Jack of all trades, master of none! ;-)
NEVER.
EVER.
Tuck your thumb.
