Isn't the nature of MA in any case mean that it will be in some respect a violent practice? And IMHO I don't think head punch are any more violent that having someones foot to the head.

I agree. Most arts have their base in a violent act; war.
I think more people view punching/striking as more violent because everyone can readily do it, and it appears to be the least skillful aspect to acquire. I don't believe this, but I think that many perceive it this way.
