This quote summarizes well the key reason why telegraphing in the attacker’s body movements is so important to watch out for.
If we stay vigilant and watch out for the subtle clues that reveal the assailant’s violent intentions, we can no longer fall easy prey to the attack that is in the making.
We turn the tables on the human predator, and the preparations that they’ve been trying to hide from us become exposed.
Our sword of vigilance gives us the opportunity to respond to the impending assault only on our own terms.
