Golgo-13:
Indeed, the so-called "lethal" spots (i.e. ways to incapacitate another human being) are not a secret.
However, where "intense" training becomes necessary is how to set up your opponent for an appropriate blow or a technique in a realistic manner.
For example, in my earlier example off crushing the larynx, it is one thing to punch someone's larynx while that person stands immobile and quite another to do it when that person is "wrestling" with you or exchanging blows with you.
Having the mechanical knowledge is not enough. You must be able to perform when RESISTANCE is encountered. That only comes from practice (training) and experience (fights or contests).
Let's put it this way: using a basketball analogy, it is one thing to know the mechanics of how to shoot the free throws, but it's quite another to have enough practice to be able to actually make the shots. It is STILL something else to be able to make baskets in the game while someone actually guards you!
It's foolish to think that just because you understand the mechanics of how to shoot a basketball, you can actually play basketball. That comes from practice and experience. Self-defense techniques are the same.
