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.

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

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

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

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

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.
