Too Young to Teach
India -- When an argument between two groups of youngsters in west Delhi turned violent, a 16-year-old boy was stabbed to death.
Two young men, among them an 18-year-old individual said to be a karate teacher, was arrested following the murder.
Apart from the obvious tragedy, there is another thing that stands out.
I don't know about you but I do find it very strange that an 18-year-old can be a karate teacher. I mean, come on... it's a teenager for crying out loud!

Looting Star
Update, September 8:
And just when you thought this case couldn't get any more bizarre, along comes one of these "but wait - there's more" moments...
Turns out this nitwit teenager judoka wasn't a British national team member at all. A member of a judo club yes, but allegedly miles away from any Olympics any day.
How in the name of Jigoro Kano could this idiot think he could get away with such an obvious lie in the long run? Dang, there are some really strange martial arts people out there!
---
Update, September 7:
The judo teenager has been sentenced to 8 month in a juvenile detention facility. Talk about stupid...
----
UK -- A 17-year-old member of the British judo team could possibly be facing a jail sentence after he has admitted to burglary and handling stolen goods during the recent riots in Manchester.
The teenager, who was described by a court judge as "(...) a bright boy with a bright future ahead of you." was reportedly found by police with his pockets full of cigarettes and stolen jewelry on August 9.
One really has to wonder how "bright" this lad is (even for a teenager) if he chooses to jeopardize his whole future like this...

Wannabe Ninja
Mississippi -- Dang! A middle-aged ninja wanna-be confronting police? Aren't these guys usually teenagers who's been watching too many fantasy movies?
And I really do wonder what's next... A black clad granny sneaking her walker around the neighborhood while clasping her "numbnuts" (aka. nunchaku)?
In any case, I digress - you can read more about the 49-year-old Biloxi man who was taken down by police after threatening officers with a pair of nunchaku and a throwing star. You really can't make this stuff up... :-)

Right to Reproduce?
Australia -- IVF (In vitro fertilisation) is an established and widely used treatment in infertility when other methods of assisted reproductive technology haven't worked out.
"Down under", a 32-year-old man and his wife have recently been denied having such a treatment continued, according to heraldsun.com.au.
Why? Well, it appears the man - a former school aide - has been released from prison after serving time for having illicit sex with a 'cognitively impaired' teenager. The victim was reportedly a student at a school where the man taught martial arts.
Doubts have been raised whether or not the man comprehends where his moral boundaries are, or what duty he owes a child. The man has been called immature and it is said he is lacking any significant insight into his behavior.
During the trial, a psychologist recommended that specific treatment in the sex offenders program was needed in order for the defendant to develop comprehensive remorse.
Without knowing the details in this case, I have to admit it appears to me that denying IVF treatment seems the right thing to do here.

A Miracle of Friendship
What ever you do, please make sure you take the time read this amazing article from mi4ssoulian.com - a truly inspirational piece about a boy named Dylan Helms and 16-year-old Michael Graef at the Missoula Taekwondo Center in Montana.
It is stories like this one here - describing the remarkable bond between a boy with a crippling disease (Friedreich's ataxia) and a young man dedicated to help him out at the kids taekwondo classes - which reinforces my belief in the spirit and kindness of mankind as well as the true power and potential of martial arts.
If a story like this - using a term like "a miracle of friendship" - doesn't melt your heart then I truly wonder what will...
There are many interpretations of the "true meaning" of martial arts or budo. The one described here should, in my opinion, rank at the very top.
