Blindshot (noun or verb) \ often attributed to point of origin of this action\ 1. any blow that originates from an area where vision does not extend to 2. an ambush 3. an unexpected attack, especially from behind or the shadows, usually involving implements of destruction, i.e., lead pipes, baseball bats, beer bottles, etc. to give/get a blindshot. See: jump, bushwack, low blows, cheap shots.

The thing about vicious types is that most of them become mops when they get in a straight-out brawl. They get their asses kicked. Seriously, I’ve ricocheted more of these people off the walls than I want to remember. They are not worth spit in a fight and they know it. So the cockroaches back up on you and hit you when you’re not looking. Sound scary? In one sense it is, but you have something on your side. Since you now know that a fight doesn’t start with the first blow, you also know that it isn’t over after the last blow. This is your main defense against these people, so watch your back! This is street com bat, not a ring. There are no rules outside a certain point. If you get taken out by a blindshot in a dark alley three days after a fight, it’s your fault for not keeping your guard up!

Don’t think I’m telling you to be paranoid and afraid of your own shadow. The straights are always saying stupid shit like, “How can you live your life in such constant fear, looking over your shoulder all the time? That’s a terrible way to live your life!” Bullshit. By being aware I can relax about it. It’s like saying to a driver, “How can you live your life looking in the mirror all the time?” Is looking in the side view mirror when you want to change lanes paranoid?

If you know that there are people who use your unawareness as a way to attack, what is the most logical thing to do? You got it. In time it will become as instinctive as looking in your car mirrors when you drive. It doesn’t turn you into a gibbering paranoid, nor will it turn you into a gung-ho survivalist gun nut.

(By the way, those people are just the ones who get the press. Real survivalists are quite sane and rather aware folks.) Blindshots are only effective for the first move. If you see someone coming at you with a baseball bat, you can take it away from him or run. If you don’t see the guy hiding in the shadows, the bat will work.

Try to start looking around when you step through a door. When you walk down a street, if one side is dark and the other side is light, walk down the light side. If there are many shadows, walk as far away from them as possible. Keep scanning with your eyes. If you hear something, glance over your shoulder. Like when you drive, watch what is happening directly in front of you, a ways down the road, beside you, and behind you.
