Winning is so key here. I'd be pretty furious if they got out and fought someone and got knocked out in the middle of my ride.

What if it was a meaningless fight and the other guy hit their head and

died? (BBC: “One-punch deaths: How lives are devastated by a single blow”

Say no 2 fighting kids

No hitting below the belt or above the neck!

Seriously. The post-Machio McDojo fad bullshit in the late 80s that promised "ancient fighting techniques" were just teaching little kids to attack the groin, throat, temples, eyes — which is fucking fine if you're defending yourself against lethal intent, etc., but just a dumbass schoolyard brawl over milk money or whatever? Your ass is gonna get locked up for killing/maiming/comatosing a fellow idiot kid. 🤦🏼‍♂️

Takeaway: why don't predators in the wild fight the way we imagine they could? Because chaos fucking reigns in the real world, and there are no takebacks. Nature DGAF.

Idk, kids sound a lot easier to fight than adults.

Question is do you provide backup

Just hypeman duties out the window
