Also, it isn't realistic, because you can't bite, break someone's wrist, sock them in the groin, or rip their ear off when they go for a throw. |
Yeah but dude, you're not allowed to do any of those things in other martial arts competition-like-sport-type-thing. I mean it's simulation combat not actual fight to the death combat. It's only meant to be realistic to some extent.
