Really? Even in classical
koryu one had real situations in which one could not permissibly respond to a very real attack by doing possibly mortal or even serious injury -- such as being attacked by your lord's dissolute angry son, for instance, or someone else under his protection, ... While the classical era allowed for liberal killing in some circumstances -- there were very strict rules for that sort of thing, that could just as easily put the defender at hazard....
Let's say you are attacked by:
1) your brother-in-law (drunk or sober)
2) a cop (hopefully drunk)
3) a distraught mother/wife/sister of someone at the scene of an accident
Are seriously saying that there is no utility in pinning, classically or modernly?
