Molesters flee bleeding from the clutches of a karate girl in Barasat, West Bengal

The 16-year-old girl was a target of a group of boys in Barasat and, when they decided to pick on her, they made a wrong choice because she used her karate skills to send the duo bleeding and fleeing – they even threatened to return to take revenge.
This has been reported in timesofindia.indiatimes.com dated 8 September 2015.

As she has explained – due to increased cases of violence and sexual assaults against girls in the locality, she had started learning karate a year ago. She wanted to be able to defend herself because the police do not usually involve in these cases because of political patronage enjoyed by the hoodlums.
The other day there was this news of a Brazilian girl who had caught a thief by using jiu-jitsu – she held in a grip for 20-minutes till the police arrived on the scene.
The message is loud and clear – apart from carrying pepper sprays and small weapons in the handbag and sporting long nails, the way to fight out of trouble is to become an expert in martial arts like karate, judo and jiu-jitsu.

The Brazilian street robber had not reckoned with the fact that his would-be victim was an expert in jiu-jitsu and, when he tried to rob her, he was in for a surprise. The woman floored him in a jiu-jitsu move and held him in a leg grip for 20-minutes until the police arrived.
The robber kept pleading for mercy and, it has been revealed in the CCTV footage that the man was sobbing and crying for his "daddy" and pleading desperately for someone to call the police but, the woman had him by his neck in a triangle choke.
This has been reported in nzherald.co.nz dated 5 September 2015.

It has now transpired that the robber and another man had earlier approached the woman and another woman on a street in Acailandia in western Brazil not knowing that his would-be victim was a professional MMA fighter and jiu-jitsu blue belt.
She is in possession of six professional MMA fights on her record and, pounced on the men after they had cornered the women on a motorbike and demanded they hand over their mobile phones.
