Jiu Jitsu Drill – Stand in a face to face argument position. De-escalation stance. Sucker punch with open hand and counter with both variations.
Closing Statement – Unless an attack is premeditated, fights are spontaneous events over a perceived wrongdoing. The best way to never lose a fight is not get in one in the first place. Being able to recognize a spontaneous threat and de-escalate the situation is your best option. Maintain the de-escalation stance and monitor his shoulders. If the sucker punch comes, use one of the above tactics to end the situation.
