Ive seen people hit in the temple MANY times, havnt wittnessed a death yet.
how accurate is that claim?
like a temple shot with an ICE PICK, sure, but a punch or kick is more likely to just KO you or give you a concussion, in my experience.
For whoso comes amongst many shall one day find that no one man is by so far the mightiest of all.
