Brief overview of various martial arts antics

A 36-year-old Massachusetts based mixed martial artist was being denied bail in January 2015 on grounds he was too dangerous to be released.
The accomplised MMA fighter, sporting a long list of arrests, was the defendant in a drug related case - charged with strapping two men to a makeshift cross and beating them as punishment for misdeeds in drug trade.

Dang! I was somehow led to believe that MMA (mixed martial arts) was a mixture of other martial arts. What I fool I've been to believe this to be true.
"Muay Thai (Muai Thai) is a mixed martial art developed in Thailand." Right...

UK -- A 27-yer-old man was arrested by police after he was seen acting strangely and performing martial arts moves on a train station before he boarded a train to Leeds. Once aboard he reportedly began to verbally threaten a number of passengers with violence.
Was perhaps a disgruntled martial arts student who didn't pass his end of semester belt test?

I suppose we could file this under Alaskarate? Seems a homeowner had to show a few karate moves when an armed intruder went gung ho on a TV set back in December 2014. The value of the item smashed with a sledgehammer? A mind-blowing 7 bucks - yup. Guess Mr Sledge was a very determined TV critic.

In January 2014, 60-year-old MMA teacher was called one of the most flagrant scammers in a $400 million pension-fraud scheme at his Manhattan court arraignment.
The retired Queens police officer collected close to half a million dollars over a period of 26 years, the most money over the longest period of time according to prosecutors.
Officials said the man was one of the worst abusers, posting YouTube videos of himself performing martial arts and traveling on at least 18 flights between 2006 and 2013 all while claiming he was too depressed to leave his house, travel or work.

UK -- In 2009, a 23-year-old woman came dangerously close to being raped by serial offender - described as a martial arts expert - in York.
Prosecutors did not believe the victim and released the offender who went on to attack three more victims.
The 37-year-old man was finally convicted in 2014 and handed a life sentence. A court judge branded the rapist "one of the most dangerous offenders I have ever had to deal with."

Back in 2010, a Chinese man in his 60's cut off his 'best friend' - chopping off his chopper so to speak.
Apparently, he was told to do so by his kung fu sifu (master) in a dream. The master told him he had to cut off his genitals if he would advance in his chosen style of qi gong. Yay, talk about blind faith and loyalty!

Sweden -- Alarmed by a concerned citizen reporting about a possible break-in, August 2014 in Stockholm, police came across a young ninja in training, mid practice.
The homeowner's son had apparently jumping from the balcony and doing other acrobatic tricks, like scaling walls - clad in full ninja attire of course - as a part of his regular practice routines and "advanced ninja training".
And it get's even more bizarre: A police spokeswomen noted that they were accustomed to such odd operations, and that she "didn't even raise an eyebrow". Swedish police FTW!

=> A 31-year-old man reportedly challenged a village neighbor to a fist fight in in the Philippines back in 2011. The drunken nut-case claimed he was a karate expert and a "blackbelter".

=> A karateka and journalist going totally gung-ho on a female co-worker for being teased about his singing at work? Apparently the case...
The female victim reportedly told the ka-razy journalist that he should stick to his day job and ease off on his vocal performances. It seems the nut-job didn't take too kindly to the critic, and that he ended up stomping and kicking the woman on the floor.
As for his day job, it is no wonder he had to look for another one the very same day...

=> It's perhaps pretty obvious, but here goes: If you plan on not getting caught combining volunteer firefighting work with arson, you might want to find a competent ninja to be your partner in crime.
Not like these nitwits, who is said to have a criminal plan "so silly dumb a Philly boy could thing it out".

=> Being proven wrong about a man she accused of being a pedophile, a 44-year-old taekwondo instructor and Olympian supposedly said it was in hindsight "not a good idea" and that she was being hot-headed...
I suppose that isn't much of a comfort for the 53-year-old man who was attacked and assaulted by vigilante as a results of the false accusations.

=> When a 19-year-old Pennsylvania male decided to dress up like a ninja to patrol the streets of his hometown at night, it appears not everyone appreciated the young man's efforts.
When some elderly residents of the suburban town were alarmed by his actions, the man was arrested and charged with loitering, prowling at night and disorderly conduct.
The "ninjackass", who claimed he was simply trying to help the local police catch the bad guys, stated "I dressed up in all black, snuck around, went through bushes. I was practicing some ninja moves - ball, looking like a rock, just hiding in the shadows."
Oh yes, totally ninja!

=> A woman who was arrested by Oklahoma police back in December 2013, reportedly told officers she was "a violent bit**". She apparently also noted that she "loved marijuana" for helping calm her down.
It might seem be she didn't have enough of the substance...
You see, it appears the woman was arrested after treating another woman, allegedly an ex-girlfriend, to some swings with a nunchaku. The incident was referred to as a "drunk lesbian ninja nunchuck brawl".

=> A 34-year-old Wisconsin fighter who goes by the moniker "The Unbreakable Heavy Hitter" should probably consider dropping the unbreakable part following four consecutive MMA losses - five if you include his June 2012 "bout" with five police officers and a dog.
The heavy hitter was arrested after a fight outside a fast food restaurent in Janesville, Florida. Police were called to the scene after a manager reported the man had thrown a large rock through a window.
Almost immediately after police arrived, the nitwit punched one officer in the face, causing him to fall so hard his head bounced off the pavement, according to witnesses. As police tried to arrest the man, he continued punching and kicking. He pulled loose from the charge of one Taser and avoided three others, according to the criminal complaint.
The man reportedly maintained a boxing stance while officers used batons and pepper spray on him. He also fought off a police canine. He kicked and punched the dog, according to the criminal complaint. A fifth Taser shot, finally dropped the fighter as he was walking against traffic.

=> A 21-year-old martial arts trained nitwit reportedly sobbed in court as he heard about the extent of injuries sustained by the victim of his viciously violent and unprovoked attack in May 2102, in Wanganui, New Zealand.
The defendant, described as a "dedicated and respected member of a martial arts club" was sentenced to prison for a similar offence in 2009. Apparently didn't learn much from the time he did back then...

#90:
=> Another blast from the past - 1994 to be precise.
In August that year, a 50-year-old Virginia taekwondo teacher refused to sign a summons for speeding after he was stopped by a state trooper. Not only that, he suddenly took off and was chased down ... and sure enough, there's more.
When troopers tried to arrest the man - later identified as the owner of two martial arts schools - he became violent, punched one of the officers and was subdued with pepper spray. What a trooper!

Let me add that it was freezing cold at the time and the guy claimed that it is hard to find people his age to act out this fantasy of being a ninja... (no shi* Shirley...).

The homeowner's son had apparently jumping from the balcony and doing other acrobatic tricks, like scaling walls - clad in full ninja attire of course - as a part of his regular practice routines and "advanced ninja training".
And it get's even more bizarre: A police spokeswomen noted that they were accustomed to such odd operations, and that she "didn't even raise an eyebrow". Swedish police FTW!
