armanox Posted September 27, 2009 Posted September 27, 2009 Made me smile. Also, use for high kicks. "Karate is NOT about the colour of belt you wear it is about the person you become;...to be a good blackbelt is to be humble and respectful amongst other things." -Dobbersky
joesteph Posted September 27, 2009 Posted September 27, 2009 The way the knife was described, it sounds like a monster-sized one. It takes a lot of guts to fight a man with that weapon, black belt or not.Great video find, Ti. ~ JoeVee Arnis Jitsu/JuJitsu
bushido_man96 Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 Good usage of a flying kick, and even better usage of the camera on the cell phone. Great quick thinking. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com
rogue2257 Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 Great video. Hard to imagine actually being in a situation like that though. I have to imagine it would be incredibly difficult to break out of the initial shock of the situation.
bushido_man96 Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 I agree. But, I think that most of the time, criminals are looking for victims, not a retaliator, like this guy. So I'm sure it shocked the criminal to see that he was going to have to work a bit harder to accomplish his goal.Another thought is that the criminal may not have had any intention on using the knife; it may have been soley for intimidation. If thats the case, then the clerk ultimately called his bluff. It won't always happen that way, but it worked out well for him.I also noticed that when the clerk was talking, he did a good job of "talking with his hands," keeping them up and out in front of him, where he could use them better. Like from an interview position. If he did that during the encounter, it helped him out, as well. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com
ElShaft Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 Just goes to show that you can never tell who you are confronting looks like the robber got his just deserts "The only purpose for which power can be rightfully exercised over any member of a civilised community , against his will, is to prevent harm to others" (J.S Mill, On Liberty; 135)
