[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 5699119, member: 19675"] It isn't that the injuries require magical healing, it is that they require magical healing to be returned to full fighting trim [I]right now[/I] as opposed to after weeks or months of natural healing and mundane medical attention. Well, considering that there is a photo in the Gracie dojo of one family member having a fight stopped by the Ref after said Gracie sustained a broken arm and was in a grapple...[I]and yet was still willing to continue fighting...[/I] Or that another martial artist (who works street security in Amsterdam) pointed out that one method (not the preferred method, to be sure) of disarming a knife is to get stabbed through the hand and grasp the attackers fist, using the bones of your hand as leverage when you twist... I see matches all the time where boxers keep fighting wit broken noses (which can result in fatal injuries), or striking with broken bones in their hands. I think someone like that could rattle off a LOT of serious injuries a trained fighter could fight through that would have most of us crying like [I][B]leetel gorils[/B][/I]. Me? I'm no fighter. But even I know that you can fight through numerous broken bones, deep contusions, and even ruptured organs...if that is what you train to do. [/QUOTE]
