An 18 year-old kid tried to steal a Jaguar from a dealership. The salesman tied him up with extension cords.

Check out the (poorly written) article here.

I don't know anything about this guy's training, but if you stop a criminal, and you've taken even one day of classes, the media will refer to you as a 'Karate Expert'

Or in the case of this article, a 'marshal [sic] arts expert'

If I ever thwart a robbery, I really hope the newspapers don't print my name.

By the way, make sure to watch the video in the article. The guy demonstrates the 'arm bar' he put the kid in.

Hey the salesman obviously has a lot of marshal artz skills. Luckily the kid didn't. Once again, marshal arts RULZ, LOLZOMGONOZ

Hello Zombiezero:

According to an AP piece this salesman has 2 decades of martial arts training. Could be a bone-fide practitioner of someone's...

Yeah, they updated the article since this morning, and it no longer says he's a 'marshal arts expert'.
But there is still a typo in the last sentence.

They changed it around 1 and a half hour ago. Last time I read it said "marshal arts".
