There are many moving parts when it comes to defense
The eyes being a big one, because it's natural to blink as a reflex or to brace for impact.
However that is one of your first lines of defense to identify the danger, so being able to train yourself to keep your eyes open for a good number of seconds in an exchange goes a long way.
Next is you balance and positioning, stand still for too long you just might end up being a heavy bag. No when to deny space by either moving out of the way or taking the space away altogether.
Obviously there is more to this but seeing what can happen within 20 seconds is always worth ones time.
