[QUOTE="xechnao, post: 4645461, member: 58105"] Jack7 have you heard about duels? In some cases of history it is believed that the outcome of various conflicts was decided on some kind of duel among the champions of the two rival sides. We know that in feudal Japan there was the warrior's code, Bushido. Then we know of battle stratagems that involve groups of people fighting to capture ground or people. We also know of massacres. We also know of professional killers and hit-men. Thing is that anything is possible in combat. What seems to have mattered more at least historically IMO is the mental conditioning based on the social situation. For being an efficient killer this means that you do not really need to be trained to know how to kill. You rather need to be trained to want to kill. Especially when killing is contrary to the social norm. And since this is almost always the case those that have wanted to kill have usually managed to succeed due to inferior resistance -inferior resistance because normal people do not bother with killing each other.
