You can knock someone unconscious with a matchbox!
And kick break someone's spine by throwing your opponent to the floor!
I only read this for research, but damn, I felt like training this with my mother (she is 40 pounds heavier, way stronger than me and once knocked some heavy-builded 20-year-old man with the side of a knife - he had the mark "Tramontina" in his back for days) and turning into some girly form of badass-ery!
