I mean I get what your saying, but I've never been in a fight that I didn't somehow involve myself in...

This is true. Most people put themselves in situations that can go wrong.

and there isn't a lot of defense against a sucker punch other than scaling up a person before they get in arm's reach.

And this is false. The "knockout game" as it's called wherein random strangers come and hit you is a reality -- but most of the targets aren't young, able bodied participants for a reason.

You should always be aware of groups -- they're the most likely to start trouble (confidence in numbers).

In the matter of time you have to judge someone's stance, etc.. you could have easily removed yourself from the situation.

I (thought) I had made it abundantly clear that the purpose of my "camp" was to instruct people how to get out of any given situation rather than to fight. That's as a last resort, and unfortunately sometimes you have to do it.

I suppose this is because I live in Mexico City, where retreat isn't always an option. It is the safest, best option, but if you need to fight: Understanding the mechanics behind it (as demonstrated in most of these videos) is necessity.

No one likes to get knocked out, but it shouldn't be when someone is filming you in vertical cam and your attacker is windmilling.
