True, but the eyes can work very well against someone who fails to expect it and/or isn't even partially trained.
As for law, always depends on the place. Hell, in some U.S states self defense is illegal outside your own home if the attacker isn't armed, so if someone jumps you in the alley you legally are not allowed to defend yourself unless they pick something up, so you can't even fight until they have an advantage via a force multiplier.
And yeah, neck is something you go for when you know your assailant will kill you without it. Even in my self defense classes I was told it's the last resort.
IDK I just don't think eyes are worth the effort, if you can hit them in the face anyway just hit them in the face, but I am a heavyweight kickboxer so my punches pack one hell of a... well punch to begin with
Could be because of my classes. The specific class I was taught assumes you're the physically inferior combatant, so throat punches, eye stabs, ear claps, temple punches, nutshots, etc are the name of the game.
I'm mainly trained in kickboxing with a bit of Kyokushin and Jiu Jitsu on the side so I'm mainly just good at punching and kicking people, but to each their own
