Judo Expert, Expertly Stupid

At times I may get a feeling of shame and despair from my involvement with martial arts. Usually it is from learning about incidents like this one here.

UK -- (Scotland) A 42-year-old judo teacher reportedly left a 74-year-old man semiconscious and covered in blood after the pensioner refused to take a drink off him, according to dailyrecord.co.uk.

The judoka claimed that the frail senior citizen started punching and pushing him - leaving him no choice but to hit back. Luckily, a jury at a Glasgow court didn't believe him.

The jury took just over two hours to convict the martial arts expert, of Glasgow's west end, of assaulting the older man outside the city's pub, November 2008.
