Reasonable force

No matter whether you train a martial art or a fighting art, it is usually possible for a skilled exponent to incapacitate an opponent.
However, in real life we must exercise restraint and employ 'reasonable force'.
Do only what you need to do.
Nobody wants to receive a broken arm or be put in hospital. Show compassion.

Even the most serious martial arts are seldom practiced with the traditional goals in mind.
Nowadays, people can learn how to incapacitate without causing undue harm.
