I've heard of both of the first, and of course yes to the second, I'd imagine. Should they have is another discussion, but it's kind of hypocritical chastising people for doing the same things that your teachers were famous for doing, don't you think?

Plenty of folks today still roll around and try each other out - just look at MMA.

Best,
