He said try to do an ‘Opening Sweeping Strike’ (basically Parting the Horse’s Mane) on me. It took some convincing to get me to actually attack him but eventually he persuaded me to try. So as I was stepping in and attacking he dropped his hip down, it only moved down the distance of 2-3 inches, but it struck my femur like a sledgehammer. He could have broken it if he used force. But he didn’t want to do that, so he just left me with a bone bruise. Many people witnessed this, but nobody had any idea what had happened. Video of it would be completely meaningless.
That’s why I do Baguazhang. I’m not an acupuncturist so I don’t care about the slow moving stuff.
