Good fight. Luckily for me, on the rare occasion that I mix it up, they usually succumb to the brute force mauling coupled with a wrist lock or choke. Some little guys just need to be put in their place.
I ain't very "big", but try that on me, and you'll be attempting to put your eye back in with your one good hand.
Is that football talk?

That's boxing with feet. Interesting, but no real killing stuff, boy.
If it's not streetfighting to kill, it's just interesting academics.
Mine do.
If you don't assume your opponent is trying to kill you, you leave yourself open, and I won't have that.
There is no "almost" in survival.
Pretty sure the 1962 film the 'Manchurian Candidate' is credited with having the 1st filmed Karate fight...so I've heard anyway. The fight featured Frank Sinatra as a military intelligence office and Henry Silva a N Korean agent.
I'm thinking the Matrix inspired lots of interest in the martial arts. As for me...meh.

That's how murder convictions snowball...
The first Western movie to have one, probably - Hong Kong and Japanese moives had undoubtedly done it earlier
Bad Day At Black Rock (1955) with Spencer Tracy featured some cool Judo.
Okay, so I was talkin' tough, in reality I've never been in a to-the-death fight- just a couple of thwarted muggings where I didn't get a scratch, and I did not seriously injure anyone in the process. I'm actually of the Shaolin mindset- Avoid rather than check, check rather than hurt, hurt rather than maim, maim rather than kill; for all life is sacred, nor can any be replaced.
