Six muggers picked the wrong targets — two karate experts.
New Zealander Craig Nordstrand, a fourth-level black belt, and colleague Peter Roche were in Suva, capital city of the Pacific island of Fiji (search), last week for regional championships, reports the New Zealand Herald.
The two of them had just finished dinner and were walking back to their hotel when two men came toward them, asking for money. Four more men stepped out of the shadows.
Nordstrand took on four of the men. Roche handled the other two. The attackers backed off, but then surrounded the two New Zealanders for a second try.
"Do you want karate?" Nordstrand asked.
One man failed to heed the warning and moved in.
"I kicked him straight under the chin and into the throat," Nordstrand told the newspaper.
The struck man and the rest of the gang ran off into the dark streets. Nordstrand and Roche became local heroes for a few days.


Love this article. Ocassionally, we can be useful :D
 
"Do you want karate?"


Got to love that. The best I have heard was from a Japanese gentleman who asked two guys if they were sure that they wanted fight because no one needed to go "To the hospital house". They were trying to pick a fight with the guy and as it turns out that one of them did in fact want to go "to the hospital house". :eek: :D
 
the hospital house - I like that one.

think of it as a hotel for healing.....:p



wonder how this story propogated......who told it? The karate guys, witnesses, muggers...?
 
No kidding...have you all seen the video of the pimp beating one of his whores? Turns out he did it in front of a gym where a load of cops were getting training. The instructor went out and used the pimp for a training aide...beat the crap out of the jerk (best part) *without* letting him fall, pass out or otherwise "get beat"...just took him through the moves until a squad car came up. The pimp would've run into the car if he had been able to.

Ya gotta love stuff like that...
 
In a similar vain, when I was in the Royal Australian Navy in the 80's, the fleet went on manouvres and only two husbands were left in a neighbourhood of navy housing, myself and my neighbour. On the Friday night, I went out with my wife and left my 12 month year old with the neighbours (the only other male in the whole neighbourhood). They gave us a key to their house so we could pick up our baby without waking them - and we did so.

Apparently, about 4am that morning, our kind neighbours received a knock on the door. They thought I had had too good a time and forgotten I had a key to their house. Without thinking, the husband opened the door and a bloke stuck a rifle in his face and demanded money. Acting on instinct, the neighbour grabbed the gun and disarmed the intruder. They apparently then had a really noisy fight right under our bedroom window (the naval houses were close together) and the intruder eventually ran off. Not only didn't we wake up, but neither did our fearless doberman guard dog who was also sleeping in the bedroom.

The next morning it was like waking up in a scene similar to one in the movie "Independence Day". All the neighbours were up and around and police were everywhere. The police eventually caught the intruder - a drug addict.

Imagine this intruder's luck though - a whole neighbourhood with only wives and kids at home except in two homes - and this piece of nastiness happened to have picked the one home with not only a male at home, but a male who happened to be the martial arts instructor for the nearby naval base! True story.
