> That’s a lot of things to go as expected and a lot of unavoidable trouble anyway.
Sure is.
As someone whose professional life lead me to witness probably 1000 fights in the wild and be involved with probably 2/3— even that muscle memory training only gets you so far. Violent scenes are usually chaotic and involve people bumping into hard from behind, uneven footing, slippery surfaces, shitty shoes, having things in your hands which even if you don’t care about dropping them, you have to think for half a second about whether or not you care about dropping it, winter gloves, backpacks or other bags, sleeves getting caught on things, etc. etc. etc.
Even the best trained people are often caught flat-footed. The only people that think they can fight their way out of consequences learned what they know about violence from movies and games.
