"If do right, no can defense…" =)

It was interesting to see the cultural differences in training and fighting (for example, no blows to the face, although they didn't mind kicking the crap out of the rest of the guys' heads).

Probably also because jawbones are more likely to break fingers than the other way around. If I had to punch someone in real life, I would generally aim only for the chin or nose, and then only for opening shots- everything else would be to the ribs, liver, kidneys, or groin.

Kicking people in the head, though, is VERRRRRRY satisfying…

It did seem like his foes in the Kumite avoided attacking his left leg, whether it was intentional or just how they edited the film.
