    well the first step is to get that footage, the next step is to invesitgate to find out who attacked you, the third step is revenge.

    Haaaa! Well said, Lucas, like a true Kung Fu man!

    Honestly, it's not about "Your Kung Fu against this". My Walther PPK wouldn't stand a chance against such a blindsiding.

    You know, I only got sucker punched once *knock on wood* and that lesson is with me to this day.
    I never go around a corner to close, I am always on guard when people are around me or behind me, always have my chin tucked in, it's rather disturbing now that I think of it.

    Kung fu doesn't include walking around with an iPod plugged into your ears, does it?

    Someone ran up behind Brendan Lai who spun around with a groin kick. He pulled it at the last instant, but it was enough to stop the guy.

    Someone sneaked up behind Lau Fat Man when he was getting a haircut. LFM broke the guy's wrist when he felt the person touch his hair.

    I've actually had that happen to me where a guy full on blind sides me.

    But I'm not a 90 pound girl and at the time it wasn't that great of a shot really.

    I don't think anything but conditioning and reaction time would have anything to do with not being too badly effected by that.

    But then I didn't shrug up or duck the shot I took and it just rang my bell a bit. Didn't knock me down, or out or anything.

    I don't think anyone trains in anything that would give them anything against that.
    Kung Fu is good for you.

    I would prefer to introduce the poison through touch or ingestion for sure. Less evidence. I'm a pretty methodical person, so learning routine and finding the best opportunity would be my way. I mean if I were to ever do that kind of thing, which I wouldn't of course.

    Nothing like a good sucker punch

    I've sucker punched people and been sucker punched. It sucks. But it's a bit like being struck by lightening or having a grand piano dropped on you. It's not something you can really prepare for. You just have to be alert, and a little lucky.

    I'm like that too. I guess it was paranoia at one point. Now it's just habit. I automatically sit with my back to the wall when I go out to eat, view of the door. I don't even think about it, it's just natural now. I am always using reflections and peripheral vision. I will always know whats behind me without being obvious about it. Don't cut corners etc....

    She had all the reflections in the world to work with. She could have been aware, she just wasn't. Most people aren't very aware of what's going on around them. Unless she was wearing headphones, she should have heard it soon enough to get a peek at what's behind her without actually turning around. I do it all the time without even thinking about it.
