Ok, so I used CLF in a confrontation....its wasnt that serious but I thought Id share any way.
I work in a small bookstore, Im sitting at the register area, the enterance is to my right. We keep the door open all the time, and it is about three feet from where I sit. I hear some loud arguing outside
and look over my shoulder out the window to see to guys starting to yell at each other. I knew that situation
was esculating, and they started to get in the doorway of the store.
As I stood up from my chair to ask them to get out (one guys back was to me, the other facing me) the guy
facing me b*tch slapped the other, at the same time I stepped in the middle of them and told the attacker
to get F out of here & dont fight in front of the store (its a spiritual book store to top it off).
He imidietly got ****ed off at me and yelled at me the typical come back "you dont know me....you better back the
F up, blah blah...."
At this point I was just trying to get them to leave, then the guy behind me started talking more smack, and the
attacker looked like he was going to swing again, as he swung a wild right, I stepped into him in a ding ji ma
(wedge stance) my right arm doing a sow with the elbow and my left hand in a upward block (ding yut, palms pressing moon)
, I didnt try to hit the guy as this was not my fight, but I was in the middle of his attack. I pressed into him and ended up
knocking him onto the ground...
after he got up, his attitude changed and he held his distance, the guy that got hit called the police..the police came but the
attacker took off allready..the cops asked me what happend, I told them the story..they asked me if I wanted to press
charges, I said no....later the attacker came back and apologized to me.
I was nervous after he took off the adrenaline was making my knees shake...I love to spar but im not a street fighter so I guess
i couldnt controll the dump..
any way........allthough it wasnt to seriuos....I feel that my training worked, and I used CLF....
sorry if it was boring.
peace,
Bryan.
