http://news.yahoo.com/video/philade...-woman-arrested-with-broken-leg-25956061.html smdh@ this guy attempting to rob a pregnant woman I heard about this yesterday from a coworker...i thought he was lying.. but having been kicked by women in TKD before, I can vouch for that (those types you fight like you were fighting a fucking man, lol)
Good, sweet justice she delivered to that piece of lowlife. She fractured his tibula in two places with her martial arts training and the cops came and found him on the ground screaming in pain. Bet he thought a pregnant woman was an easy mark, he found out differently and the hard way, put paid to his 19 year criminal career for a good while Glad she and her child was okay throughout the whole thing, think they said she had a broken wrist, but that was the extent of it.
You darn well this story is completely fabricated in an attempt to discourage petty theft on public transportation. A pregnant woman, who just happens to be a martial arts expert, not only chasing but disabling a career criminal of 19 years is the stuff of Hollywood. I'm surprised at you, Petty!
not as surprised as the guy sitting in the hospital with a broken tibia, after robbing a fat pregnant housewife
Good point! "A former professional race car driver turned car thief is chased down on a 10 speed BMX bike by a 80 year old determined not to lose her precious 1982 Toyota Corolla. Details at 11".
Well considering the CBS 3 HD logo was emblazoned on the story, would be a real con job to pull that off. Don't sleep on those women with martial arts training, they won't hesitate to use it at the slightest sense of threat. They take those training for just such occasions that they encounter scurrilous characters. LOL, too true.
one of our assistant jiu jitsu coaches is a bad ass purple belt, and runs circles around everyone on the mat. while we focus on strength and size, she dominates with speed and technique. She's about 5'5, 120-130lbs too. I remember seeing her roll like a cat with a male blue belt a while back..poor bastard was my size (6'2, 215..common thug profile) and never had a chance. Of course at the end of the day, I asked her how much could she bench, and she couldnt really give an answer. Still got her beat in that department:smt038
My nephew is a martial arts master, who has his own dojo specializing in southeast Asian martial arts. He's in the martial arts Hall of Fame, and teaches only teachers. His wife is a woman he met while studying in the Philippines, and she's a tiny, tiny woman, I think she barely clears five feet. She can keep up with him, and I've seen her take him down on occasion. They regularly spar, blindfolded, with knives.
In my opinion, this was a good outcome, but ill-conceived. It wouldn't matter if the person was a martial arts expert, a man or a woman. She put her baby and herself at risk, and to what end. She ONLY ended up with a broken wrist but it could have been a lot worse.
cant remember if I seen blindfolded sparring before, but I have seen Mas Oyama stop a sword with his barehands before. Anything sharp gives me the willies, but it all comes down to focus. They teach weapons at Kung Fu schools around here, but id be too afraid id maim or get maimed. Think i'll stick to rendering people unconscious......:smt079 yeah..i was concerned with that too. Id think a woman in that condition would put the baby first, and not risk retaliation. It's a phone after all. She fucked her wrist up after fighting with the guy, so eh... the cellphone snatching around here is the truth. I was at a main terminal up here waiting for my bus, when two young ass mothafuckas nonchalantly approached an older woman (55+), snatched her phone and ran like deer. Funny thing about it was that 5-0 was parked in their jeep joint like 100 yards away, and gave chase as soon as the lady started screaming. One of the boys melted into the neighborhood, but the Septa cops did catch the other one. My ass wasnt playing hero with formal fighting training or not. You really don't know what mothafuckas are carrying on them. If cops are getting blam-blam while chasing suspects, what the fuck you think is going to happen to me.
See, this here is a damn shame! How are we 'sposed to rise as a people when ain't tryna protect each other's cell phones? If it was me, I would've shot their asses. I got the biggest gun in Rancho Chokamunga. Shit, I'm the king around here.
Good ending but she risked her child's life for a cellphone. She just as easily could have went down that stairwell and got greeted by a shank.
Fights are really unpredictable. If she would have got stabbed in the belly, people would have said how stupid she was. I guess the snatching triggered an adrenalin rush, which made her give chase without thinking about the possible outcomes. You train to fight in controlled environments, where all rules are laid down before hand. On the streets, it's a different story. This is why martial arts are thought of as self defense to be used only if you have to.
Worse yet, if you pay attention to his list of past indictments as they scrolled down the screen, you would see that he had one for carrying a concealed weapon. Depending on how far along she was in her pregnancy, she could easily have fallen and hurt herself based on the change in her center of gravity. There were just too many things that could have gone tragically wrong versus the injuries she actually received in the altercation.
