      Martial Artist Says They Can Only Hurt You If They Can Reach You!
      I love watching martial arts in the movies, particularly when the battlers agreeably slow down to take turns to hit each other.It’s so, so cooperative, and so, so much unlike everyday life!Nobody in a real fight “trades blows” strike for strike and kick for kick, until one or both collapse, in exhaustion.But it looks good on screen, and it’s dramatic.In real life, bad guys seldom show good manners. In fact, if they can sucker-punch you, they will.Have you ever wondered why they call it a sucker punch? There are a
