Calm, aware. Blocked it well. Finish strategy.

"He" who? But, afa the smaller guy, it was a great example of "when the opponent moves, I move first."

Offensively, attack where the opponent is weak. This does not mean where he is insubstantial because you would be falling into a trap. Instead, attack when he is switching from a substantial jing to an insubstantial, or vice versa. If you catch him just before he emits an offensive jing, you will be able to succeed.
Substantial and insubstantial jing are determined by your yi (mind). When you sense the opponent’s intention, your yi can change your actions from substantial to insubstantial, and vice versa. To facilitate this, do not emit all your energy. Rather, conserve some so that you can easily switch from one technique to another. . . .
. . . If you can switch easily and quickly between attack and defense, you will be able to conceal your techniques so that the opponent cannot understand what you are doing. When you look like you are attacking, you should not necessarily be attacking, and when you look like you are withdrawing, you should not be necessarily withdrawing. Your opponent should not be able to sense your intention from how you express your jing. This is called skillfully exchanging substantial and insubstantial. After a great deal of practice with many partners, your opponent will not be able to understand what you are doing, whether you are attacking or feinting, resisting or neutralizing, and he will not perceive how you are going to attack. This is reflected in the saying: “False-false, real-real, real-false, and false-real.”
What did the clerk see to know the attack was coming prior to the attempt?
What did the clerk do to give himself an edge?
How could the attacker have known it was a bad idea?
Would this likely stand up as self defense in court?
