It is actually not permissible to duel. You can engage in "friendly combat", but duelling to restore your honor is both illegal and dishonorable. (The German fraternities, which are responsible for these fights, gave their word of honor that there would be no more duels to satisfy insults to honor)
It is also an extremely stupid idea that scars are somehow an "authentic mark". As somebody who fought three of those "mensuren": Scars are a sign that you thought you are better than you actually are. It's the embodiment of "Dunning Kruger walks here".
- somenameforme 4y agoThis seems analogous to claiming that an MMA fighter with cauliflower ear just thought they were better than they were. One of the great thing about sports is that they teach humility. You're going to lose a lot on your way up. And it's going to hurt - sometimes quite literally.

However you can easily prevent your ears from "cauliflowering" after severe ear trauma if you drain the accumulated blood before it dries completely out after 2-3 days. At some point if you train a lot some soft/protruding parts of your ears will harden a bit and some edges aren't as smooth as before but it isn't really noticeable to other people.
