Completely agree. I do not practice martial arts, but I have read about body language and the dynamics of social behaviors; twice they tried to rob me and once to threaten me while I was walking in the street; the first time he had no partners and I was alone too, I didn't have much that he could steal, and I perceived him scared, so I just tried to reason with him and I was able to get rid of him without much effort, far from what anyone would think I was smiling during the robbery and had open body language, at that time I did not have the necessary information yet, but I understood that criminals are afraid, then time passed and while I was walking in the street I met him again, he got down and turned his head to the side, he didn't want to make eye contact with me. Maybe he was not a "professional robber", I will never be sure of that, but I did know that he was more afraid of me than I was of him, although I did not understand why. Later I read a book on body language written by Allan Pease, and I was very impressed by all the information we convey through body language, so I studied the matter. The other two occasions were somewhat more intense than the first, but now I knew something about it, and I'm a little crazy so I usually take more risks than is advisable, so I decided to put what I learned into practice, surprisingly on both occasions I avoided being robbed or threatened, and I did it without having to precipitate the conflict, I know it seems amazing but I think that as you say: exist a predisposition for things to happen in a certain way, and when you become aware of the situation and know what to do, the aggressor is automatically disarmed, you push him out of his "comfort zone". How would a lion react when seeing that the zebra decides to fight? I'm not sure, but the lion is likely to be a bit surprised by the situation, and if he doesn't know what to do, he could be eaten by the zebra. LOL
