There are differences between a real fight and a training match. In a training match there are rules to reduce injuries, and you use honorable means of fighting for much the same reasons. In a real fight, particularly when both sides are using different fighting forms, don’t stand back and let your opponent recover from a strike. Be cautious of feints, but follow up on your advantage. Otherwise you might end up the one hurt.
Yups, in a real fight, there are no rules, no time outs, it’s basically “hit them hard enough, and often enough, that they don’t get back up”
This may have been the first time Ace met someone who could take his punches, and Ace ain’t no boxer
I think this may be more Ace being just Ace. He cares more about not excessively hurting the other guy than whether he gets hurt.
I’d agree, except that this is a very specific mistake commonly made by people who trained to fight for points, instead of FINISHING the fight.
My brother fought for points and taught me a few basics about a martial art form. I fought for survival against opponents whose intent was to cause me grave bodily harm. I did not worry about form nor honor and only in one case was I not trying to take my opponent completely out of the fight as quickly as I could (I was concerned with not attracting too much attention as I had no confidence that the “authorities” would care that I was just defending myself.) In all the cases the fight ended as soon as it became obvious that I was not the easy target they had assumed I would be.
