Wrong place wrong time.

This moron is in the process of robbing a hotel clerk with a firearm (mind you that's a minimum mandatory 10 year sentence) and these two MMA ( mixed martial arts) fighters (who happen to be in town for a competition) are in the lobby at the same time. There is no substitute for training. Watch the video it's great.

I guess if they'd been armed they could have simply shot him - little training required for that.

Now that would have been a happy ending

The cool thing about martial arts is that anyone can learn. Where people become victims is when they just don't know what to do. On the other hand, I question the wisdom of these guys apprehending a guy with a gun, though great that they did it without anyone getting hurt. Self defense is as much about common sense as it is about knowing techniques. We always used to teach that if a guy has a gun, do what he tells you to do. If he shoots the guy standing next to you, it's time to do something!

Reminds me of the concept of taking a knife to a gunfight! 8)

Reminds me of a saying: "A fool and his gun are soon parted".
