Don't think that you have to wait to be attacked before you can defend yourself. This is a classic video clip that has been around for years. There are a lot of lessons that can be learned hear, but the clearest is that the Spear can be used offensively. Also look at the "Karate Guy's" stance as he is being approached. He is bladed, but in an unassuming posture, he does not look like he is about to strike, his hands are down at his side. Although I would not recommend this, I'm sure in his mind his thought was "If this guy gets close enough to me, I'm striking first." One thing that he does just before he strikes is waves his arms outward at his waist as if to say "what?" by doing this he creates motion from motion and the pimp doesn't see it coming. It would be real easy to articulate that he felt threatened by the pimp and thought he was about to be attacked, so he simply defended himself proactively. See what other lessons you can see in this clip and we can talk about it in our next class. It's also nice to see the good guy win!
