You might think the right answer is not long at all . You might think the safest and most prudent thing you can do is to open up some serious physical distance between you and the threat as quickly as possible. You might think right now I’m setting up my punchline which is going to be, Well, you’re right! Well, you’re wrong.

Your goal should not be to open up a safe distance of, say, eight or more feet as quickly as possible. If that becomes necessary, then you haven’t been paying attention. You haven’t yet absorbed into your bones what I’m trying to bestow upon you. Think! If you were living your life in such a way as to strive to stay out of potentially dangerous environments and scanning those environments you do end up in for potential threats upon your arrival and then continuing to monitor that environment for potential threats, it would be highly unlikely that you would end up standing face to face with someone who thinks it would be cool to do you harm.

Sure, I’m all for opening up a safe distance of eight or more feet between myself and a potential threat, but the likelihood for someone like me—an aware person who is self-defense minded—is that I’d be opening it up from, say, four or six feet. Not two feet. Not two inches for good God ! You know how quickly a gap of even four feet can be closed? In no time. You blink, and you’ve taken a punch to the head. You blink, and you’ve taken a hopping side kick or spinning back kick to the gut. You blink, and you’ve been picked up in the air and slammed headfirst onto concrete. You blink, and you’ve been stuck like a pig a half dozen times. You think I’m kidding? Then you don’t know. Get four feet from a psychopathic predator and then blink. You’ll see how fast a gap of even four feet can be closed.

OK, let’s all just take a deep breath for a moment and shake it off. It’s not your fault you don’t think in the ways I’m proposing and suggesting. Precious few do. That’s why there are so many real-life videos of the sneak-attack aggressors winding up the winners, and so relatively few real-life videos of the sneak-attack aggressors being the losers. It’s not your fault. No one ever told you before. But I’m telling you now.

Of course, if you do end up just a couple of feet or inches from what you’ve now identified as a threat, even if you’re doing it in your side stance, I’d say your first order of business it to get out of there. Hands up, palms forward, moving backwards, crossing feet (front or back) as you go or going foot to foot—your choice—as quickly as reasonably possible. I’m serious. Watch a few videos showing two guys facing off, and one initiates contact with a vicious, lighting-fast punch to the side of the other’s head.
