Heel hook from that position targeting the ankle, instead of the knee? Size and strength giving no advantage? No weight class advantage on the ground? What has this author been smoking?

@Grandork A lot less dangerous than glasses, that's for sure. And yeah, they can get dislodged by pressure, get lodged behind your orbitals and prolly lose you the match if it does, but to my knowledge (don't need glasses) nothing more dangerous than that. At best you get an infection, if you start fishing for it in the ring. With glasses and gloves you get blinded.

@wewedamdam You're damn right about that one. But IMHO there is a difference between a full on battle shounen with energy balls (which are more and more destructive than the last one I'm sure, but always just create scrapes for some reason) and nonexistent anatomy (the thing keeping you together is grit --things like bodily support structures are just a measure of it...) and something that at least seriously tries to adhere to physics. There is always some reality bending going around, but it's fine. What matters is how well you execute it. Here, the lack of sex based matchmaking is done fairly well, as it just let's it be a part of the setting and consistently goes with that, but you can't try to include things like weight and reach and realistic fulcrum usage (pretty much martial arts in a nutshell) only to throw it out of the window the very next panel. And shamelessly commenting on it like it's no big deal, no less.

But to be honest, all these particular tropes are pretty much ubiquitous in everything coming from the general area, so it just should be expected.

"Glasses are dangerous if you are going to join the fighting class"

Is that a joke? Contact Lenses are much more dangerous -.-
No? Try fighting with the handicap of worrying you'll lose your eyesight from your opponent just slapping away your glasses, or potentially having the shit shatter on you.

I mean saying weight class doesn’t matter is very popular bjj saying. Also it doesn’t specifically say size and strength give no advantage
