    A thread bump occurs when you send an old thread back to the top of the forum (make it recent) by typing the word "BUMP"

    i asked afriend what would be a lesson he'd teach a complete novice, if he could only teach one technique, what would it be?

    his reply, "How to sucker punch someone."

    There's a reason it's called "sucker punch"... Only a complete SUCKER would let a potential hostile unknown get close enough to engage.

    There is some wisdom to be found in surprise and ambush tactics.

    The range of any engagement will vary by the weapon used. Tanto or ICBM? What's "critical" LOL

    "In all countries where personal freedom is valued, however much each individual may rely on legal redress, the right of each to carry arms - and these the best and the sharpest - for his own protection in case of extremity, is a right of nature indelible and irrepressible, and the more it is sought to be repressed the more it will recur."

    Deception to some, sucker punch to others. I vote "Deception."

    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.

    A sucker punch usually follows verbal escalation..........................

    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 to get in and rip to the body.

    Stay away (out of HH weapons range/kick range). But, when YOUR mind (and experience) says: time to go. Better not hesitate.

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