Now visualize this. Your time frames are positive while your assailants' are negative. Of course, this was over-simplified to demonstrate a point. The good guy is off to a good start. An important component of defending against the wolf pack is understanding physio-kinetics, or what makes the body work in terms of mobility and power.
Power is based on the reaction of the hips and shoulders.
Mobility is determined by the reaction of the hips and knees. Secondarily we use the elbows, wrists, neck and ankles. The formula is vision, wind and limbs. The target areas for kicks and strikes should be vital points of the body that make it difficult or impossible for the assailants to see, breathe or use their arms and legs. Ideally you want to fight a psychological battle as well as a physical one.
