Like chess but faster and in your mind with your body.
from a shell can't they just lift an elbow and get you in the face as you go into do the body hook? granted, the elbow would not have much power that way, but it is still an elbow to the face which i imagine is unpleasant.

personally i am tempted to keep the non punching hand just infront of my face (not blocking my vision) to keep me safe.
