Hotel robbery stopped by BJJ practitioners.
Two mixed martial artists from Oregon were in Los Angeles for a grappling tournament, but they ended up using their skills to do much more than win a match. They subdued an armed robber who was holding up the clerk at their hotel. Brent Alvarez runs Twisted Web MMA in Eugene, Ore., and Billy Denney is his student. They were walking through the hotel lobby when they saw the robber, who had gone behind the hotel's counter, pulled out a gun, and demanded money. The clerk handed over the cash, but yelled for help. Alvarez and Denney jumped on the robber, and while Denney controlled his wrists, Alvarez sunk in a rear naked choke. They held him in place until police arrived.

That's badass and all, but from what I could tell didn't seem to make a difference whether they were BJJ guys or not. Two men are generally able to restrain one man.

Psychedelics are illegal not because a loving government is concerned that you may jump out of a third story window. Psychedelics are illegal because they dissolve opinion structures and culturally laid down models of behavior and information processing.

That's definitely true. But I'm still calling it a win for BJJ because Brent Alvarez did use BJJ technique (Standing body triangle + RNC.)

I guess you can probably spot the differences between "holding a guy by his arms and neck" and whatever special BJJ thing he did better if you are into BJJ.

Sometimes it's just not your day.
Robbing Ultimate Fighting Expert Proves To Be Bad Decision CBS Chicago CHICAGO (CBS) — Robbing a man who turned out to be an ultimate fighter proved to be a bad decision for a convicted felon, who is now in bad shape as he is held on bond. Police say around 11:30 p.m. Friday, Anthony Miranda, 24, walked up to a car parked at 55th Street and Kenneth Avenue, just a few blocks from Midway International Airport. Miranda asked the driver for a lighter, and the driver said he didn’t have one. Then Miranda pulled a handgun and demanded that the driver hand over his money, police said. Even after the driver complied and gave up some money, Miranda ordered him out of his car, police said. At some point, Miranda’s attention was diverted and the victim was able to grab control of the gun and the two wrestled. During the fight, Miranda accidentally discharged his own gun, shooting himself in the ankle, police said. The victim — who told police he is a martial arts expert and ultimate fighter — was able to pin Miranda down until police arrived. Police arrived to find Miranda with a face full of lacerations and two black eyes. He was taken to Holy Cross Hospital for treatment, police said. Miranda, a convicted felon, is charged with armed robbery and aggravated discharge of a firearm, a Class X felony. He was ordered held on $350,000 bond Sunday, according to the Cook County Sheriff’s office. Records show he has several convictions, including at least one for a residential burglary.  |
