scuffling
Shuffled minor struggle
Scuffling is engaging in a brief, confused struggle or fight, typically involving grappling at close range without serious violence: Security guards were scuffling with protesters at the entrance.
It can also mean moving with a shuffling, scraping gait, or scraping together a meager living: scuffling to make rent.
