Is it really an issue with an archer though? They're distance fighters. And Legolas's looks like the hair parts that get in one's eyes are tied back anyway.

It's worth noting that if someone has you by the hair, then at least one of their hands is occupied with it, and they've locked themselves into close range with you until they let go. IMO going for someone's hair is a stupid move.

The advantage comes from the fact that the neck is not a strong part of the body, and your eyes are absolutely critical, meaning that grabbing the hair and pulling will certainly incapacitate the opponent.

You don't just hold someone by the hair. You grab and pull.

In fairness, this is in the context of a fist-fight. If someone's got a knife, gun or bow, the equation changes. But that's more to do with the difficulty of getting to the hair, rather than what you do with it once you've got it.

[blitzwing]

The neck isn't a strong part of the body, but it won't hurt from having your hair pulled until after the fight. At least that's been my experience.

And you don't need sight to punch someone in the face when they've literally locked themselves to within hair length of you. (A hair-grab from the back doesn't typically incapacitate sight).

If someone has your hair they have the leverage on your body - where the head goes the body follows, plus it hurts your scalp.
It is absolutely not a stupid move, it is a very legitimate tactic in fights.

It's not like you're laying docile while they pull on you. They can't lead your head/body anywhere they want, especially since a lot of people's instinct is to grab onto the attacker.

It is absolutely not a stupid move, it is a very legitimate tactic in fights.

In my experience, it's a stupid move, since it's gotten the ass whupped off of everyone that's tried it on me.

Getting hair tangled around the bow string would be a BAD thing.
