We weren't allowed to hit around the head area unless it was absolute life or death. Had to go for the fleshy arms or legs.
Oh aye,primary and secondary target areas, but when a sheetbag is using deadly force the equation changes. He was trying to kill, or at least very seriously harm, me and I was entitled to do what ever reasonable and necessary to keep myself alive.
Thelad that broke my arm...I've broken bones before and recognised the sensation, so with only one working arm and him still coming at me I smacked him the love plums. Thats a red target area, one ordinarily off limits, but he had already grievously injured me and J had a reasonable,y held belief that he could kill me if I didn't drop him quickly so it was quite justified in law.
