Isn't this turning things upside-down? I would rather say that it ends when you are wounded.
You might have a lot of small, nasty looking, but 'harmless' flesh wounds/bruises. But when you get a solid hit with a broad sword (or a knife for that matter), you'll be going down.
I must confess that I like this much better than the hit point mechanism: a fight should be about gaining advantages. When you are in a position to gut him, its over.

Well you obviously didn't kick him in the balls, now did you? You tried, he grabbed your leg and sent you sprawling. Now he is back on his feet (AP gain)
Ha en god dag!
