Very nice speech!

You know the funny thing about violence? Actual/real-life fighting is always extremely violent. If you try doing a clean stab on all the enemies and expect them to just wait for you to catch your breath or pick your next target, then your head is in the clouds. In a "fight" in the terms that are dealt with in these fighting manga, people heal most of the time but in real life that's not always the case. In real life, a person won't always KO after a beat-down, rather, they will keep struggling until they die(if you beat a person's head in a couple dozen times, he will eventually die of brain/spinal-cord damage or if you aim at a particular point, you can either cause instant paralysis or instant death).

Btw I'm not talking about your traditional martial arts manga(you know, the ones involving boxing and the like) I mean the super-powered kind.

If you look at it in that respect, most non-mature media do not show the actual brutality of fighting. I have studied this aspect for most of my life and its the reason why I never get into fistfights, cause I have a tendency to use instant takedown moves instead of pointless beat-downs. Which is also why I find fighting amongst school-children pointless, cause you don't really "fight", you only "beat-down" or "hospitalize", which isn't my take on fighting. And in most cases fights occur for such petty reasons that its laughable.

Sorry if I come off as a violent person(which I am generally not) its just that, I consider fighting to be an art, which is necessary to survive in this cruel world, and I don't like it when people use it unnecessarily.

Long story short

Young Age group = unrealistic fighting and involves super-men

Mature Age group = brutal,loud and gory fighting involving regular normal humans and maybe some supermen if done right and has a lot of dismembering, fatal beat-downs, decapitating, multiple stabbings, strangling, slicing torsos open etc. Btw some anime have all of the above, thus making them realistic and forbidden to kids.
