![]() | non telegraphic attacks with an air of nonchalance. suppression of body language is part of it. if you don't present a threat there is little chance for preparation. only a complete paranoid delusional would be on guard 24/7. must be very tiring.

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | I've seen more sucker punches on the basketball courts during pickup games than anyother place. Once the verbal assault starts you better take a couple of steps backwards to get out of sucker punch range. I know a fellow martial artist who would rather take a couple steps forward and get right in a guys face. Same thing different philosophy.

![]() ![]() | I prefer up close and personal, I hate the nervous anticipation, so let’s get down to business. The better man wins.
