The idea of "Just learn in fights with consequences on failure" is an awful mindset.
Because that just means if you aren't good at the first time... You're going to be in an even WORSE position the next time because of injuries.
Now, I do have a suggestion for what can happen that might improve things.
On winning an aggressive/dangerous/deadly fight...
You have a chance of sustaining an injury. The chance is HALF of the average percent of health lost per round. Have these injuries be half the normal amount of vit loss.
Fight two rounds, and you end the first match at 20% health, and the second at 40%? Averages out to 30%, which means you took 70% damage. Thus there is a 35% chance you will be rolling for an injury also.
Right now, there's no difference in outcome between a close match where you barely win... and getting absolutely shitstomped. If you know you can't win, there's no mechanical reason to not just type /surrender to get it over with faster.
Similarly, right now, there's no risk to someone who's good at verbing from picking on a new character.
Having there be a chance of injury on winning, AND having that chance be dependent upon how well you do mitigates these issues.
