For our second martial arts story in as many days, we visit Giessen in Germany, where a seventeen-year-old thief got more than he bargained for when trying to steal cigarettes.

When the would-be-thief spotted a blind thirty-three year old at the local railway station, he threatened the man and punched him in the face. What he didn't know is that his easy prey was, in fact, a world class judo-wrestler champion. It seems that the martial artist recovered quickly from the punch to his face and then flipped over his assailant, pinning him to the ground until the police arrived.

If that doesn't make him give up smoking, nothing will.
