Gouging (fighting style)

Gouging is a primitive and brutal fighting style that focuses on targeting an opponent’s vulnerable areas, often with the intent to cause serious harm. While it lacks the structure and discipline of traditional martial arts, gouging is unfortunately known for its ruthless efficiency in close combat situations. In gouging, practitioners aim to inflict maximum damage using techniques like eye gouges, strikes to the throat, and attacks to other sensitive areas of the body. This style prioritizes aggression and brutality over finesse and technique.
