Like I always tend to point out: Martial arts is about so much more than kicking and punching!
Story:
Peter Townsend, 14, was cycling home when he saw Mick Lawson, 47, lying on the ground with life-threatening injuries after being attacked.
He went to the rescue and put his first aid skills to use by tilting Mr Lawson's head back and putting him in the recovery position.
Peter, of Ossett, near Wakefield, said: "I saw blood coming from his face and from one of his ears so, after checking him over, I tilted his head back so he could breathe and put him into the recovery position."
Paramedics later said Peter's actions saved Mr Lawson's life. He picked up his first aid knowledge while on a course organised through a karate club which he attends each week.
