Both?
Maybe???
I mean it's a handy skill to have right?

I can confirm being capable of correctly throwing a punch is useful.

Also handy, in the sense it uses the hands.

I try for about an hour of martial arts practice a day.

I once knocked someone's tooth out on accident cause he made me mad
Would you say that's a correct application of punching?

Just an hour? Really?
You kind of strike me as a train for 10 hours a day kind of guy

[heromedal]

The use of the term ‘on accident’ leads me to conclude that no, it is not.

An hour minimum. It’s not really my focus. Generally when a wizard is fist fighting a plan has gone wrong.

[ But also it’s three hours in the middle of 24 hours of training, if you count studying and building stuff training. ]

So if I would have done it on purpose I would have knocked out more teeth?

[ ???? ]

I guess that makes sense
But what if you figure out that you can punch things with magic?
I bet that would probably change things

But that's what I'm talking about
We have to be prepared if a plan does go wrong
Just because things have been smooth sailing so far doesn't mean it will stay that way

[heromedal]

Yes.

Although optimally a punch in the throat is superior, you're less likely to injure your hands.

[ ???????? ]

I usually do punch with magic. Or at least by increasing my physical strength first.

Anyway, that's the philosophy behind my development. I've always found it's better to have no blind spots than be extremely powerful. Being both is better, but if I had to choose one, I'd prefer no weaknesses.

[ ????? ]

I
Guess???
Technically you aren't wrong...

[ Morally? Hahahahahaha we're not touching that. ]

So you're a jack of all trades type huh?

[heromedal]

Picking the target of your punch is as important as the technique in some ways. Striking someone in the mouth is an impulse people have, but it's generally not a good idea. Either the chin, throat or eyes are better. A thumb in the eye is especially effective and I highly recommend it. Even if it fails to connect, the psychological effect on the opponent is often significant.

[ ????????????????????? ]

More or less. I'm not much of a fighter, so I like to know how to exploit weaknesses.

[ Not much of a fighter he says. ]

[missleading]

[ tfw you've lost complete control over a conversation. ]

I'm not sticking my thumb in someone's eye

[heromedal]

That’s an unreasonable stance.

[ I mean really. ]
