New York -- A 50-year-old man testified in November that he used what he called 'basic karate' against an attacker wielding a bottle. The assailant later wound up losing an eye, according to silive.com.
"I was in fear for my life. I blocked the bottle and apparently it went back in his face," the former assistant district attorney told jurors about the incident at a Staten Island nightspot four years ago.
The defendant, who began practicing martial arts at 15 and received further training at the Court Officers Academy, said he used a "club block -- a two-motion move" -- to stop the attack.
He added that he stood over the other man in a "cat stance" in case he would retaliate.
