Karate Trainer in Saudi Jail
Judo karate? That's a new one.
Saudi Arabia -- Usman Shah, a 28-year-old martial arts and "judo karate trainer", left Pakistan for Saudi Arabia in 2002 - hoping for a better future for his family.
He began working as a labourer and then started as a martial arts instructor in a training center in Abha, according to dailytimes.com.pk.
Allegedly, he was then arrested by Saudi authorities in July 2007, under the pretext of being an Al-Qaeda activist.
According to his mother, her son has not been presented in any court. The family also said they have approached Pakistani authorities including (former president) Pervez Musharaf without any progress so far.

Like the Dr. says!
Can't be said much clearer than this, now can it?
Story:
Riyadh -- Saudi Women have been flocking to a newly established Martial Arts center in the Saudi capital.
Dr. Sara, a Saudi doctor who recently took up Karate at the center, said, “In our society, girls are usually shy and introverted. However, they should be fit and healthy and be confident. Women shouldn’t necessarily learn Karate, but as long as there are no medical restrictions, I think this martial art is most suitable for women.”
Dr Sara adds, “I’m definitely much healthier than before and I have benefited a lot from my Philippine coach. I feel now that I am more fit physically, I am more at peace and I have more confidence. I have gained these traits through the sport and they are important for me as I am a doctor and my occupation requires physical effort.” She wished that she had learnt the sport from a young age. “I have no ambition to reach the Black Belt level, but I would like to reach a reasonable stage of fitness and confidence.”
