Imagine this still being a thing today...
Also influencers making videos about the best moves to use while standing in a hole with one arm tied behind your back. "Pocket sand! Your wife will never expect it!".
I've had some epic fights these past 22 years and been really angry at him, as I'm sure he has been at me, but I've never been beat him with a sock full of rocks mad... I imagine Jensen Huang's wife is that mad right about now.
Fights like these were actually only supposed to take place between strangers. The wikipedia article seems to only exist in german, so here's a rough translation, sorry if it doesn't read well, I'm not very good at translations. Also, as you can see in the pictures, the man in the pit had some kind of club as a weapon, at least according to Talhoffer
Gerichtskämpfe waren nur zwischen Fremden erlaubt. Durch einen entsprechenden Schwur von sieben Männern aus der männlichen oder weiblichen Verwandtschaftslinie der Kläger/Beklagten sollten Kämpfe zwischen Personen bis zum fünften Verwandtschaftsgrad ausgeschlossen werden (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerichtskampf_zwischen_Mann_und_Frau_(Hans_Talhoffer)#%3A%7E%3Atext=Gerichtsk%C3%A4mpfe+waren+nur+zwischen+Fremden+erlaubt)
Legal Court fights were only allowed between strangers. Through an oath of seven men from the male or female line of relatives of the accuser/accused, fights between persons up to the fifth degree of relationship were supposed to be prevented
Could you please link a source?
A "rock in a sock" is a pretty epic weapon, because you can build up some real kinetic energy in a swing.
Breaking a finger would be trivial, a forearm achievable, and a full swing clock on the head could kill someone for sure.

Seems like fun!
And her name is Brienne of Tarth! 🎺🎺🎺
This could be the origin of the modern tradition of beating somebody with a sock full of quarters.
