Good point, it has been around for ages. I remember seeing clips of it over the years.
I suppose it’s like any full contact sport, it’s accepted for ages before it’s analysed. Boxing, rugby, American football etc. The potential physical harm is almost ignored for years until it starts to draw attention.
This one appears particularly brutal. Reminds me a bit of that old pub “sport” of shin kicking. Now that’s something that brings a tear to my eye just thinking about it. Two aled up blokes taking it in turns to hoof each other in the shins! With nothing but a bit of straw tucked into their socks for protection
Years back it always seemed to be in some dingy place like fight club with a sorts of characters standing around the competitors.
There's so many YouTube channels of all kinds of backyard fight club type set ups.
I'd pass on a shin kicking!
