Tai-gip,

Is English your first language? This is a serious question that I will take into account as we debate.

We don't go for eye strikes, we don't lock to break or strike to break. Those are improbable and have a low percentage of actually happening.

Sure, I can stick my fingers in someones eyes. I can extend a lock to past where the breaking point should be. I can shoot a paper target and visualize it's an adversary I'm trying to kill.

However, the difference in my training is that these are only options taken to an extreme. Something I may or may not be psychologically prepared for and perhaps unable to perform due to a mental block. I don't know.

And therein lies the key fundamental difference between what I train to be 'probable' and what is 'possible'.

I don't pretend during my training that my arm lock will break your elbow. I don't pretend that my kick will break three of your ribs. I don't pretend that anything I do will result in a certain outcome. It is possible that all these things happen, but we train for worst case scenario.
