South Africa -- Thetimes.co.za reported in October about a pensioner who used karate skills to defend himself against robbers.
The armed robbers allegedly assaulted the 64-year-old man at his tuck shop business in Durban, demanding cash and his cellphone after forcing him inside the shop.
The South African Association of Karate honorary black belt said he co-operated with the robbers up until the point he heard them talk in a local language that he had to be "finished off" - allegedly because he could later recognise them.
"I thought it is either me or them, and I wanted to live," the man later said.
Yes, I know ... karate is "not supposed to work" as self-defense. Tell that to Mr Edward will you.
