Whatever I write is-gonna 'sound' as if I am defending MMA and Boxing and all other Forms of Hand-to-Hand Combat, I'm not and I am at the exact same time . In ALL the Martial Art Disciplines there is the REQUIREMENT to learn HOW to Fight, the Practice of the Forms (Kata in Japanese) is NOT enough to Advance in the Study, to gain --->Rank <--- and Rank here means Understanding, {{{where 'Understanding' leads to Wisdom}}} . Why ???
There's "Theory" and then there's "Practice" . What the Student has learned as Techniques MUST be "APPLIED" in Practice, which is the TEST of one's newly acquired Skills . There MUST-BE these Tests, to see if the Techniques have been properly learned and retained, and therefore become INSTANTLY AVAILABLE should a Confrontation arise . I digress, please forgive an old man .
Where was I ?????
Most Folks don't have the "stomach" to watch either MMA fights nor Boxing matches---they can't bear watching men hit one another with concussive force, or strangle one another to the point of near asphyxiation --- to those without 'stomach' combat appears as VIOLENT, CRASS, BASE and LOW, and of course SICKENINGLY SAVAGE . THAT'S where trump "comes in" ---> SICKENINGLY SAVAGE . I mean, I COULD use BARBARIC but that AIN'T enough, it's too `cultured` and trump "ain't got him no `Culture` " .
