[QUOTE="Underman, post: 5989802, member: 6696705"] I see, so it's sort of like: In real life, writing with a pen and typing on a keyboard use probably use different muscles or the same muscles to different extents. So, in a fantasy world, writing with a pen makes my forearm so tired that I can't type on a keyboard. In the real world, you've only referenced that different activities "probably" use different muscles to different degree. You've only established in the [B]fantasy[/B] world that particular muscle groups are independently tired out by those respective activities. So this part isn't actually true (for purposes of combat anyway): In real life, muscle fatigue is pretty pervasive. I looked at those examples of judo throws, and maneuvers like the hip throw for example uses a lot of different muscles. Martial arts almost always emphasizes power by using the whole body. You actually have to pull or injure a muscle to isolate inactivity of a particular muscle group. And then you can't use the muscle at all. Imagine a UFC fighter with a limp, and cannot effectively use a leg for anything (not just kicks). Furthermore, that UFC fighter's leg muscle is generally passively injured after getting "hit" in the leg, and not in the act of doing a "daily". And yes, now I am arguing just for the sake of arguing, but all I'm saying is that I think your reasoning has retreated to the fantasy world much earlier than you think. [/QUOTE]
