Did I say that he picked the fight? I said that it was unlikely that a martial artist is going to pick a fight with a guy because he bumped into him. As such, we're probably not going to know the answer to the question I asked.

As for the rest, I have had to use what I know only once. It was very quick and done, without a single blow being landed. I was fortunate for what I knew, as I would have been seriously injured without it. That being said, I do not think my chances of 'encountering' anyone are very high. I can't remember the last time that I saw a street fight, let alone have someone be physically belligerent. Verbally belligerent is a different matter, but I always choose to walk away. Aggression is a poor problem solver.
