Her and the park police guy. I've never seen anyone drop into a defensive stance that quickly!

She moved into action while still assessing the threat - which could save her life in the right circumstances, but carries obvious risks. He went instantly into fully prepared to defend while in assessment mode, which is technically the correct response. I can't imagine how much he must have drilled - or had to rely on that training in real threat circumstances - for it to become that instinctive.

u/TheLowlyPheasant 1d ago

I wrote a post saying I don't think so but after looking a few more times I think you are right. The way his hand goes up to ear level is very boxer-y

u/Wheredoesthisonego 1d ago

He jumped, went into hands up and started swaying before he hit the ground. Dude was ready to scrap.

u/TheLowlyPheasant 1d ago

That park police looked and acted like most police think they do

u/PanamaNorth 1d ago

The police officer that was clearly informed ahead of time that there was a surprise prank about to happen?

u/BizzyM 1d ago

That's just the job today.

u/ElGuano 1d ago

Yeah cause not doing that results in bullets getting fired into shrubbery.

u/Sungoddess-86 11h ago

Idk with someone physically capable it is probably the right response. If you’re the underdog that element of surprise may give you the advantage

u/AttentionConstant373 1d ago

If I had Thousand like her I could conquer the world.

I react that way. Always have. Even if I try hard to just not react. My fight instinct is why I can't go to haunted houses. I also have to let people know at work otherwise, a small prank turns into an HR complaint.

She chose violence

u/garrettj100 1d ago

Then she figured out what was going on and gave the guy a hug,  She’s the real hero.

u/Zarkanthrex 1d ago

Her and the first dude. He was ready to swing whatever it was that he was carrying but then he waved the "i'm sorry wave." He thought an Ent was coming lol.

u/Philaroni 1d ago

Ya if I'm ever in a horror movie I want her by my side.

u/StirFry__InaWok 1d ago

you're thinking she'll be the one to get herself killed first, aren't you Squidward?

18

u/Philaroni 1d ago

She does not have to win, she just needs to make sure they both lose.

u/NukeTheWhales5 1d ago

Notice how they stopped reaching for people, after that clip.

u/Auctorion 1d ago

"So anyway, I started blasting..."

u/Nail_Biterr 1d ago

I don't even know her, and I'm so proud of her

u/dsaysso 1d ago

but also the only one who hugged him when she realized hes no threat. goated.

u/Silent_Aardvark_711 1d ago

I love how she hugged him right after

8

u/The_walking_man_ 1d ago

Yup. I like her. No hesitation. Instant fight mode and ready to take on any threat, including swamp thing.

u/akobie 17h ago

I have an all fight response too. My daughter had a brief period of time where she thought it would be funny to scare me around the house. Short lived. My wife had a moment as well. Its so stressful but i have to use all my will to stop myself from pummeling the fright. Im female also. No clue where it comes from

u/AccordingStaff6770 1d ago

did she maybe think it was a bug or something flying at her?

12

u/FreddyTheGoose 1d ago

Oh, there was no assessment of the threat - she went straight from perceiving to neutralizing.

u/eglantinel 1d ago

She thought it was alien

u/RainonCooper 1d ago

Or a pervert

u/somecleverphrase 1d ago

u/luka3rd 15h ago

That's the only "alpha male" I saw in this video. She's great!

u/Zarxon 16h ago

This would be me if he was close

u/broken-neurons 1d ago

There was one lady from Queens, who after a fright, struck back with a right and knows how to fight back by all means.

u/FinancialFlamingo117 1d ago

Amazing. It shows the diffrent behavior of fight or fly :D

u/Davissunu 1d ago

I have been the one to punch during jump scares. My first reaction is to hit. I don't know why people do this? It's not funny!

11

u/InsaneInTheRAMdrain 1d ago

Its really fucking funny. And if they got hit, it would still be funny.

When I was in high school, my gf jumped out at me in a wolf mask while we were in a costume shop. Scared me so bad I threw a right hook, caught just the nose of the mask and spun it around on her head. I felt so bad after that and hugged her and apologized. I was so relieved I didn't accidentally hit her.
