It's one of the most important elements of a fight. Debatably the most important part.
When violence occurs, and you are the victim, a small window of opportunity might be the only way you will get out of there alive.
We don't cover it very much in class, but keep your mind open to different opportunities martially. When sitting in your favorite Star-Shmucks, sit calmly and watch the door. Watch the ebb and flow of customers walk into the coffee shop. Watch how the crowd moves and congregates. Imagine now that one of the patrons stands up with a gun, slaps their girlfriend, or does some ill shit.
Based on the current state of the Star-Shmucks, do you have the opportunity to escape cleanly? Do you have the lane of travel to intercept the offender? Patience may be required to get your opportunity. Use verbals, non-verbal languge and silence to wait out a window for opportunity.
The link I have for today is a good example of this....
