The Art of War
, Sun Tzu suggests you do not “burn your enemy's kitchen”

. A firm blow to the throat with your elbow, fist, or knee will drop your attacker instantly

figs. 10-5
and

). It is not hard to collapse the windpipe, so by all means “go for the throat”
of your opponent while doing your best to protect your own.
