"It is an ANCIENT Welsh ART based on a BRILLIANTLY simple
I-D-E-A, which is a SECRET. The best form of DEFENCE is ATTACK (Clausewitz)
and the most VITAL element of ATTACK is SURPRISE (Oscar HAMMERstein).
Therefore, the BEST way to protect yourself AGAINST any ASSAILANT is
to ATTACK him before he attacks YOU... Or BETTER... BEFORE the THOUGHT
of doing so has EVEN OCCURRED TO HIM!!! SO YOU MAY BE ABLE TO RENDER
YOUR ASSAILANT UNCONSCIOUS BEFORE he is EVEN aware of your very existence!" MONTY PYTHON
