stand up.


pretend someone is approaching you and you have to defend yourself.


which foot and shoulder did you step back with? if you are right handed then your right foot and shoulder will be in back. you do it instinctively because that will create the most stability and power if you need to dodge or punch.

pretend you are going to race someone.

chances are you just crouched a little and tensed with your dominant foot further back to "launch" you out of the blocks. instinct.

Look over my left shoulder, to draw attention away from the movement of my gun hand.

Right handed, look over my right shoulder. When driving, that's where the blind spot is. And my son's infant seat. Step up with right foot... stir clockwise, until my arm gets tired then I switch directions... Step back with right foot to get into the "warrior stance" or "fighting stance". Allows more power to be projected/thrown from right (dominant) arm/leg.

Just like Han Solo!

funny. my first thought when i read bruce's post was "han shot first". but i figured that was a pretty geeky comment. but since you went there first... it's still pretty geeky, but well done.
