I have a feeling there not really being punched in the face

[emmie]

no its all pretend, acting as you say, if people were really punched, then that would be the end of their career.

It's stage combat or choreographed fighting. They aren't supposed to really hurt each other, they're actors.

I took up judo - er fifty y ago - because I was so taken with Diana Rigg on the Avengers.

Actually she was doing a style just a bit up from tai Chi - ( the chinese sort of dance form where you wave your arms slowly)

throwing the stuntmen into hay ricks etc ( yeah it was that long ago)
