You know, for entertainments sake it would've been cool if he had gone upstairs & opened up a can of whoop-ass on 'em all Jet Li style. But in reality he did the right thing & saved his family a lot of harm & grief.

If he had tried some dumbass technique ala' an internet tough guy he and his family would likely be dead.

This.

My Kenjutsu sensei told us of a time when he got surrounded by a bunch of teenagers outside a movie theater in Boston. We kept asking him, "what technique did you use to defeat 7 men?" He looked at us like we were crazy and said, "What do you idiots think I did? I kicked the lead guy in the nuts and ran."

I noticed the front page of the Boston Herald in one of those newspaper dispensers today. I was at a Dunkin Donuts in Weymouth when I saw it. The entire front page of the Herald was a huge picture of the kid performing a karate kick. The main headline in large print said, "Karate Kid!" I might be getting the exact wording wrong, but that was the jist of it. Then there was a smaller headline that said, "(youngster) uses martial arts training to save his family."

That led me to believe the kid had kicked some ass. But then there was yet a smaller headline on the front page of the Herald that revealed that the kid called the cops.

The tag is because the Herald made it seem like the kid did some serious damage on the thugs, but on the same page they revealed that he only called the cops.

Any Farker that saw the front page of the print version will know what I'm saying.

I agree with your point, being from "the bean", and seeing the Herald today. The underlying meaning is that this kid wasn't paralyzed by fear and risk gettin caught to call the cops and save his family.

Can someone absolutely confirm this is not some sort of movie promo?

What's with the hate?

FTFA:

"I'm really happy I helped my family. My first reaction was to go upstairs and help them, but I knew I couldn't take on three grown men by myself, so I called the police."

Makes perfect sense to me.

Well, that's money well spent. It looks like paying for their son to receive ass kicking lessons was a waste when all they needed was a lesson on how to use the phone.

Boys and girls, this is why you keep guns in your house. Two guys with guns breaking in won't be expecting you to have your guns ready to go the moment they get inside your home.

FightDirector:/Use the Nike Defense whenever possible...


I keep trying to tell my buddy Wes this. The kid's got triple the kung fu training time I do, and he regularly gets his ass kicked because he gets into situations where his aptitude is exceeded by their numbers and "non-traditional fighting techniques" (like run up and punch you in the back of the f'n head).

I blame all the bo katas. Looking badass + a 9' reach tends to make one cocky.

Everyone owes jaylectricity a big ol' hug now.

Indy ..don't drink the blood!

to quote one of my instructors: "techniques get you killed" kid did the right thing.

I work for an online martial arts expert and I have really bad taste in puns, so I'm really getting...

No matter how much martial arts training a 12 year-old has, he'll never beat up a full grown man. With a gun. And two friends.

I thought in America cops never help stop any crimes? Surely he should have called the A-team or Buffy or something.

FTA: "Weymouth cops arrested four men, two who fled from the house and two others when their getaway car crashed."

In other words, they all left before the cops showed up, so the boy's 911 call had nothing to do with the family's survival... hence, asinine.

Sure, it may have enabled the cops to catch them after the fact. but that's not the point that the writer makes, now is it?

Discretion is something that every martial artist has to learn for themselves. He'll either figure it out, or he'll find himself lying is a hospital bed for a good long time if he's lucky.

I actually feel kinda hypocritical saying this. I got out of the Army and can't run anymore (seriously screwed-up leg), so I can't run away if something happens. Ergot, I've been both practicing technique (alternating days between Sanshou and Krav Maga) and practicing at the range. Can't even follow my own advice...

I love how the article mentions the bad guys had "fully loaded" pistols.

I'd expect it to be newsworthy if the guns weren't loaded.

Ok, did this kid pose for a "Drop Kick", after passively calling 911?
KEEEEEE 9 IIIIIIIIII 1 AAAAAAAAAAA 1 AAAAAAAAA... yes officer I could use some assistance....

I don't think it takes years of Karate training to realise you don't stand a chance in hell against 3 opponents and subsequently phone the police - I may be going out on a limb by saying that someone without training would have done the same as he did - hide in a corner and call the filth.

I know jaylectricity explained why he chose the tag, but if you have to explain why you chose the tag in the comments rather than it being incorporated into the summary then you've got the wrong tag.

realistically showing someone that you are armed tends to end the confrontation.

Cheers to Suicidal Writer for the well done propaganda!

He's doing it wrong. For real. Hell, I once had a drunk guy hurling insults, racial slurs (mistaken on the race), and making all sorts of threats. He was considerably larger than me, but he was just drunk enough that I had no doubts of my ability to expertly pound him down. Like a smart practitioner, I just kept walking. Sticks and stones, words...

Since I also carry a pistol, I REALLY prefer to avoid all confrontations.

Calm down there, internet tough guy. I do kung fu, and there's nothing in that movie I can't follow and perform, even without choreography. Except for maybe the upside down pinkie shooting pistol grip... but then, I've never tried that.

Anyway, it's pretty much all the same stuff as you'll learn in jujitsu, aikido, hapkido, bagua, kali, tai chi (yes, even tai chi), etc. Some styles just emphasize different aspects. Really, how many ways are there to break an elbow or a knee. They all bend the joints backwards, the question is just how they get there. Different stances, different blocks, same effect; control the situation, respond well.

Goofball_Jones:Also, what if that crash at 3 am turns out to be your kid trying to get a drink of water in the kitchen, but drops something. Will you go charging in like Rambo with your weapon drawn, pointed at some shadowy figure?

Well, I've done it. Turned out to be my cousin just not wanting to answer my request to identify when she sneaked in to my house. Like a smart person, I looked first before shooting. She knows to answer now. Remember the old phrase "ready, aim, fire"? A gun held at the ready is ready to be aimed... so yes, you can walk in to a room with a ready gun without ever aiming it at somebody.

Yeah, most of his problem is being young and dumb. Go to escort a drunk female acquaintance home who's been mouthing off to these three big black dudes, then turning your back on said big black dudes. Walking down the street in a roughish neighborhood while flashing your big-ass blinged out watch. Every time he engages someone he's completely in the right in using force, and he seems to walk away the victor, but he gets a good solid ass-kicking in the process. He'll gain some common sense as he ages (or he'll find someone with a gun and be dead in a gutter).

Not saying it's likely, but it's possible. It also depends on if the kid is trying to throw punches to the body, or if he's trying to kick through knees, rupture testicles, or stab fingers in to eye sockets. (there's no such thing as "fighting dirty," especially when you're outmatched)

Landing one lucky kick on an instructor who doesn't fight back ≠ taking him on.

I doubt a random attacker would be quite as forgiving as an instructor and I'd say the outcome would be a little different.

Absolutely true. The only reason to be in a physical altercation is self- or other-defense, in which case I would have no qualms about biting the aggressor's toe or pinching his nuts really hard. You should never be in a fight that requires rules.

This.

It's always annoying for me to imagine that these guys think they can whip out a semi-automatic so easily and take care of business.

The reality is break-ins can be significantly more preventable if certain things are taken into consideration. ie's:
1. Use key-locked bolts on the doors, not the kind of bolts you need to turn the handle on with your fingers
2. Don't have large windows within reach of door handles - such as large windows in the doors themselves
3. Don't leave valuables in sight of the door (car keys are common, break-ins to get the keys alone are increasing)
4. Use window security bars or break proof film.
5. Don't have large trees/shrubs near entrances or that can block your field of view or views from the street.
6. Have a home security system (even a dog is better than nothing).

Then, if you feel the local gang / deranged maniac is still determined to enter your house to take your possessions and hurt you and your family, you've bought yourself some time to a) call the police, b) move your family to a safe, barricaded location in the house (ie. locked master bedroom), c) grab a self defense weapon, d) and warn the intruder(s) that the police are on their way and you are armed, without going all Rambo.

/I realize that's a lot to process in an emergency, but it is possible and making this kind of plan is the first step

Jonesy Boogieman:It's this kind of Hollywood-tainted thinking that breeds false confidence for people like you.

Oh please. If there's one thing that Hollywood got right it's that the bad guys can't aim for crap, allowing the hero - that is, you the homeowner - to pick them off at your leisure.

Goofball_Jones:What if the "crash at 3 am" turns out to be a group of men all armed with guns bigger than yours, all alert and awake and expecting resistance from someone who's just stumbled out of bed, half asleep and fumbling with his weapon?

Then I've got a better shot armed than I do unarmed. A gun doesn't make one immortal (they teach this in training courses). It just improves the odds of safety, in addition, an armed populace is a social deterrent in breaking and entering.

One of the first things to do when you hear a loud crash or suspect someone is in your arm is to ask them to identify themselves, say it again and mention you are armed. You don't hop out of bed and go into the next room and light it up.

Ever notice how cops approach cars at traffic stops? A similar thing goes for investigating in the home. Even without a holster, keep your hand off the trigger until you are ready to fire.
