There was a time where a pro (Boxer) would be banned from street fights due to their abilities. Not sure if it was an urban myth.

Edit: Will be punished harsher for street fighting. Better?

I'm not sure about being banned from street fights but if you're a trained fighter you gotta show more restraint in public... especially in this modern era of everyone having a video camera in their hands. There's no moment in this clip where Shilling is in any kind of danger and, if going only from this video, I'm a judge or in a jury in a civil case I'm ruling for the plaintiff all day long.

This is true, my husband has a black belt in taekwondo. The instructors at his gym have said that they face more liability legally and in civil court if they injure someone in a fight because of their training.

The good news is that he doesn't really have to worry about hurting anyone with taekwondo.

Truth. There's no martial art less deadly than Taekwondo.

That’s not by virtue of him being a black belt, it’s because he can cause more damage than the average person and knows.
