You know, we often read that martial arts can be used for protection, but it is actually rare to see it being used to do so. Thus, when you read a report like this - you take note. Here is more from that report:
QUOTE |
The 15-year-old was walking down a main street [..] she was approached by two young men. One tried to pull away her knapsack. However, the teenager, [..] used a defensive technique to punch one of the men in the face, knocking him to the ground. When the second man came at her, she kicked him in the groin and punched him in the shoulder. |

You are right, JB, in that it is rare to hear of people using self defense moves to protect themselves. I applaud this young woman for using what she was taught to defend herself. I only hope that if she realized the men were armed, eg with knives or guns, that she would not have tried to be too brave and find herself shot or stabbed instead.
