‎"If the person you were fighting had any kind of wound, worry it and keep at it And the pain would be much more intense. It was the psychological angle and all. Once a cut was there, it was human nature to try to protect it from more harm.

About This Quote

 "If the person you were fighting had any kind of wound,worry it and keep at it. And the pain would be much more intense.  It was the psychological angle and all.Once a cut was there,  it was human nature to try to protect it from more harm." The quote above is referring to an old Indian wrestling technique called "rolling the thumb". In this technique, a wrestler would place his thumb on the opponent's eye socket and apply pressure with his thumb and forefinger.

This would cause tears in the opponent's brow and eyelid which would make it impossible for him to see and thus unable to defend himself against the pain of a strike. This is also called "the thumb lock" and is done by pressing one's thumb into the eye socket of an opponent. It is used as a way of causing pain and tearing up the opponent's brow and eyelids.
