When you have watched from up close and personal while a 250 lb hillbilly headbutts a guy in the nose and then kicks him in that same nose at about the same time he hits the ground, you get a whole new appreciation for how "violent" violence is.
Yep, I have some nut job Irish muscle in the family tree and have seen some similar instances which I have been smart enough to avoid.

The most mainstream movie example of the difference between "normal civilized" people and such brawlers was the movie Casino. DiNero's character is sitting there wonderring how to respond to the insult given to him while with zero hessitation Pesci's character grabs the pen and proceeds to stab the guy in the through and nearly beat him to death. Most of the people in this world are "DiNeros" in the sense that they can't comprehend such unexpected and unrestrained violence. These people exists out there and any training in physical defense needs to stress that. Most do not.
