Creative fighting aims to disarm the other, both in the sense of taking away the armaments and in the sense of being disarming.

Destructive fighting aims to dis-member, and to dis-own. To dismember in the sense of castration (literal and metaphorical)and to disown in the sense of making the destruction unconscious by repression or dissociation (segregated systems in attachment terms).
