Sucker-punching sudden attacks are entertainment for these goons - they videotape themselves doing it and post it on You-tube. Sometimes one does not have time to access the defense equalizer, because of the surprise element in the sucker-punch attacks. Here are some self defense tips from this website:

Here are 3 self defense tips to add to your self defense training that will greatly increase your chances of escaping and surviving a sudden attack:

1. Train your body to “instinctively” and automatically go to a defensive position that will work to simultaneously control the distance, remove your vulnerable targets, and get your limbs between you and your attacker for shielding.
2. Practice stress-response drills that will reduce the natural time-lag that exists between stimulus and your brain recognizing the threat and need for action to deal with it. These self defense training drills act to condition the body to the adrenal response commonly known as “fight or flight.”
3. Condition yourself to stress-inducing experiences in order to learn to relax and focus under pressure. You cannot do something under pressure that is not within your natural make-up. In other words... You will act as you have trained! Just thinking about it, reading books, or watching videos is absolutely useless in a real self defense situation because you are trying to use one part of your brain to do something that comes from a very different part.

Never Forget The Most Important Self Defense Tip Of All:

If your self defense training does not account for and address what you will “feel,” “experience,” and “find” inside of a real situation, including defending yourself against sudden attacks, you may find that all of the time, effort, and money spent on training will have been for nothing!
