Yes, but it can take very long to be able to deliver the blows..

Ok, thats a point.

Ok another one.

Nope. totally wrong. If somebody has to fight for his life, even a
broken arm won't take him out. A kick in the genitals will end most
show-streetfights, but never a REAL fight. and a blow in the face
wont do anything but hurt the hand of the one who striked most of the
time... believe me, I know from RL experience. (ouch)

They can against a inferior opponent, but there is no chance to end
the fight against a equally skilled opponent.
