important body language keys that someone may attack

stance-are they positioned with one foot back? whatever foot that they have back might indicate the hand they will hit you with, are they looking around to see if anyone is watching? are they turning their body to try and hide the fist they want to hit you with? are they trying to distract you with questions or by looking down or to the side to get you to look away? are they getting too close or in range to where they can put their hands on you?
