Here's The Thing About Close Combat In Real Life: It's Almost Always Over In A Matter Of Seconds. Not Like In The Movies, Where Your Hero Has The Luxury To Strategize And Maneuver And Grapple For Minutes On End. Fortunately, When Your Life Is In Danger, Your Brain Kicks In. Deep Inside Your Brain This Little Almond-shaped Gland Called The Amygdala Sends Out The Signal To Make Your Body Start Pumping Out Dopamine And Adrenaline And Cortisol. Time Seems To Slow, Your Focus Sharpens, You Suddenly Start Perceiving Way More Stimuli Than Normal. Neurologists Call This Tachypsychia. Everyone Else Calls It The Fight-or-flight Response. Cavemen Who Didn't Have It Got Eaten By Saber-toothed Tigers. So I Made A Quick Decision. I Could Either Be Incapacitated By A Taser, Or I Could Put Myself Within The Reach Of Bondarchuk's Fists. No Choice.
