This post is a bit off topic yet if I give it some thought our practice/training can help. Let me go further. If we are truly practicing the fighting arts as a way one of the things we do is to train so as to perceive the threat "before" it occurs and take appropriate action.
In this post I am suggesting that one of the ways we lean this technique is through education. This means lots of practice to include visualization, etc. so when we encounter obstacles in karate, as in life, we perceive the correct way to completely avoid it or at the very least to take appropriate action to mitigate its effects on us and our lives.
In this light as a part of your training you must also educate yourself to "see" issues that are dangerous to your life before they are knocking at your door. In that light I am offering a URL for you to "educate" yourself so that unscrupulous folks of the world don't take you by surprise.
After all to be forewarned (to be forearmed) is important. The URL is in regard to how you get screwed by certain companies and business such as banks, credit card providers, cable companies, and many others. Just click HERE and read on.
Yea, a bit of a stretch but are we not practicing the way to become more and to protect ourselves and our loved ones?

"What is true today may be reevaluated as false not long after. Judgements are frequently based upon a set of "temporary" circumstances surrounding them. Conflicting ideologies can exist simultaneously. Antagonistic dualities are complementary aspects of a unified whole: are seen as mutually dependent mirror images of each other." - Nahum Stiskin

A person's heart is the same as Heaven and Earth while the blood circulating is similar to the Sun and Moon yet the manner of drinking and spitting is either soft or hard while a person's unbalance is the same as a weight and the body should be able to change direction at any time as the time to strike is when the opportunity presents itself and both the eyes must see all sides as the ears must listen in all directions while the mind must grasp all the tactile, olfactory and gustation data not seen on all sides and not heard in any direction
