But yeah people who don't fight get very awkward when they try and actually get physical.
But surely -- at the very least -- he learned a lot through film and sparring. He played Muhammad Ali, for goodness' sake.

Y'know, I wonder if people ever really retain a lot of those 'I learned this for this movie I was working on' types of skills after the fact, especially if they moved on to a different project that has nothing to do with it.

Like I remember hearing interviews where Michelle Pfieffer actually had to train using a whip for her Catwoman role back in the day. I wouldn't be surprised if she can't do that nowadays, so many years later, but I mean what about 2 or 5 years after filming Batman Returns. Would she still have retained some of that back then?

As for Will, pretty sure that was Cuck Fu strike# 5, the Puss-Lee Chop. Doesn't cause much harm to the victim, it only causes a brief moment of confusion. It has the drawback that it makes the user suddenly feel as if they achieved a higher form of machismo enlightenment, while everyone around the individual sees the opposite. Kind of a 'yeah, that'll show em' attitude, if you will, while the rest of the world points and laughs. But such is the life of the cuck.

Again, you'd be amazed at what people who don't actually put it in practice don't know when it comes to getting physical.

Plus some people aren't strikers. I can't remember the last time I punched anyone in the face with intent. I was always the smaller guy, and you're not gonna outpunch a bigger guy. So my method always was, get in close on a guy and get a death grip on his windpipe, dig the nails in just a little bit to let them know you're serious. You'll get hit, quite a lot at first, but if you can shrug it off they'll quickly start to panic from the lack of oxygen, at which point you can do whatever you want to them.

BUT, not everybody is a "Take 10 to give 1" kinda guy. I'm just kind of the type where if I'm mad enough to fight someone I'm also mad enough to not feel pain anymore. Otherwise, kinda hard to keep your grip on someone's throat while they're hitting you in the face and head. BUT if you can do it and just power through that first 15 seconds or so you can pretty much do anything and they'll just gasp and flop around while you do it.

But yeah, not a big punching guy, personally. Like I've had some boxing training but I've never had to use it in a real fight and I have no idea what I would do if it ever came up. Last time I was in a scrap I did what I always do. Still works, I figure why change it up now?

Fun Fact: People also get really squeamish and whiny if you start going near their jugular with your teeth. Everybody just wants to slap hands. Pussy sh*t. If you're not trying to do permanent damage then you really shouldn't even be fighting in the first place or else you're just posing and posturing.

People also start losing their sh*t if you stick your thumb under their eyeball. Like c'mon, what are we even doing? F*cking babies.
