Don’t Look in Their Eyes Fighter!
Look in the Eyes is a Provocation
Hi fighters! One more for the „On the Battlefield“ category.
There is something you should know when walking the street every time you go trough suspicious areas or pass-by some not very nice people (not talkin’ about clothes – they can wear Gucci and still look bad).
Fighters – first of all, you must pay attention on what is happening around you. Listen to the sounds and look for things that might signalize some kind of threat to you. Plan forward.
Remember when some mean fighter in some martial arts fighter movie said that you should look in people’s eyes to see what they are up to? WRONG! You should look on their hands first. Would you be able to recognize your assailant’s intentions just by looking him in the eyes, fighters? I don’t think so.
You can look in the fighter’s eyes in the conversation part because when people talk, they use their eyes, yet they might not know it. Negotiators use the eye techniques for example to determine if the villain is lying or something like that. For that eyes are good fighters, but since you are in a real fight, you won’t have a time to scan where your opponent is looking. In fact, what I do a lot during fights, is that I try to close the eyes of a fighter so I can perform a move smoothly.
There are ways of using the fighter’s eyes to your advantage, but looking in them during fight is not among them.
The big idea is that when you look in their eyes, you only provoke them. It is a natural animal instinct. People feel offended when you look in their eyes for a longer time. In conversation it might be normal, but when you pass-by some nerd and you look him in his eyes, he will probably feel like you are trying to tell him “Hey nasty guy, I’m not afraid of you, I can fight you anytime. And by the way you suck mfcker!” And believe me.. they don’t like to be called “nasty guy”.
So look on their hands fighter. Why? Well it is simple. Search for a weapon. If they have hands in their pockets – that is a sign for you that there is something more to come out than just his little glove puppet. Even if there is none, you should already be prepared to face more than just an empty hand. That can make your street fight much easier my fellow fighter.
See fighter you just can not let them surprise you. You must surprise them!
Remember. There are so many places in clothing where people can hide their weapons. And they are not going to pull it out on you with their eyes. Don’t expect superman’s laser. Look for cold weapons and guns.
