So, injure the "other guy" until they are no longer a threat.
How? Well, sports medicine has identified the areas of the human body that are prone to injury when one person collides with another, or collides with the earth via a fall. So, just target these weak areas with all your body weight to cause these injuries on purpose. These principles can be applied to any system out there...just be more precise in what you strike and put all your weight into it. By "injury" think; fractured skull, ruptured testicles, eneucleated eye (fluid coming out), not broken nose, black eye etc...

Been watching the "Striking" DVD so I get it now. Just as you described. Makes me uneasy but I understand the objective.
