It's true. Some people fight drunken style, or all relaxed all the time, to avoid a lot of dismemberments.

In a totally non-related note, this topic's number is 666.

Besides being harder to dismember relaxed joints have no cap on the rotational speed they can reach. So for a real fast punch it is better to relax some joints then contract them at the moment of impact.

Having some parts of the body relaxed also looks a bit more natural. Looks cooler imho
