I've seen a good argument that personal violence between men may very well be mentally healthy outside of sports. Basically as you said sometimes you need your ass beat to put things into perspective, funny enough I stopped doing my twitch elbowing reaction in middle school because I did it to someone and he punched me in the face. Stopped the tic and fair is fair.
I had the opposite. Kid beside me kept tossing little bits of food, I snapped, elbowed him in the ribs and knocked him a good distance, they sent me to the office where he was crying in the nurse's station. The cop at the school told me to be careful with my elbows, because I could have broken his ribs. Then I went back to class. The end.
Some folks simply don't have the constitution required to fuck around and find out. My kin have a rather simple way of living, mind your own business lest it becomes someone else's. Makes for either short or long lives depending on which side of the philosophy one falls on.
