Seriously. The post-Machio McDojo fad bullshit in the late 80s that promised "ancient fighting techniques" were just teaching little kids to attack the groin, throat, temples, eyes โ€” which is fucking fine if you're defending yourself against lethal intent, etc., but just a dumbass schoolyard brawl over milk money or whatever? Your ass is gonna get locked up for killing/maiming/comatosing a fellow idiot kid. ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿผโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Takeaway: why don't predators in the wild fight the way we imagine they could? Because chaos fucking reigns in the real world, and there are no takebacks. Nature DGAF.
