Roman hand-to-hand

[M. Demetrius]

One thing is for sure, even a small child knows how to make a fist and hit somebody trying to take a toy or something. Nobody has to teach them. So, whether it's called "boxing" or not, a fist to the jaw is about as instinctive an action as humans have, except maybe the eyeblink.

My credentials? Well, I've raised 5 kids, and discouraged sibling squabbling to limited avail.
