or Danza would have to pray his training (whether real or not) doesn't come out...
no, the whole 'registered hands' thing is nonsense, a myth. The only difference it would make is if you had the guy disabled and continued to beat him it would be harder for you to use the 'I went crazy' defense. The judge assumes you are familiar with combat and also it tends to lower the 'reasonable self-defense' bar for you. In other words, you can still take somebody down, but you're going to pay a higher price if you keep whacking them, because supposedly you know better.
