Either of these is transitory by nature and more so in defense of violence. Movement and change is key. To understand the in-yo of this requires some academic followed closely by OJT or hands-on training and practice.
The following link is provided to help with the academic.

In my view this understanding leads to an optimal pre-engagement posture called the bladed stance or posture. The reason is pre-engagement means you still have time for avoidance.
Depending on glued circumstances assuming a bladed stance along with relevant posture and demeanor can literally trigger in the attacker to route away and continue the hunt for easier prey.
If you fail to avoid and find a predator closing the distance then that should trigger movement. Continuous relevant movement where you do not assume any stance or position for longer than a millisecond.
You are in survival mode, “flight or fight!”
You move, you are in change mode and that keeps an adversary in the observe and orient mode. You have taken the advantage; you have avoided falling into an reactive state; you have forced your adversary into a reactive mode; and you have created a greater position in a violent situation.
As karate-ka, we tend to do a lot of start and stop movements all of which degrade your advantages favoring your attacker, this ain’t good.
