Jogger targeted by teens turns out to be Kung Fu expert

VANCOUVER, Wash. – Two teenagers got more than they bargained for when a Washington state woman they attempted to assault turned out to be an expert in martial arts.

KATU reports that Priscilla Dang was jogging in her Vancouver neighborhood last Friday when she was approached by two teenagers on their bikes.

One pulled in front of her as the other groped her from behind.

Fortunately for Dang she had studied Kung Fu for 18 years at a martial arts school owned by her family. She used the training to teach her attacker some manners.

"I grabbed him and said, 'You need to apologize, and he did,'" said Dang.

Then things escalated when the second teen started swearing at her.

Dang said that something snapped inside her and that is when her Kung Fu background really kicked in as she punched him twice in the face.

"He started coming in for a few, and I was lucky enough to dodge his shots. I came up for another one and I got him good, and I think that upset him," she told the news station.

“Josiah Sullivan”

Doesn’t sound like a Hispanic name to me.

I don’t know...yet. Just guessing they were wearing hoodies and on their way to buy skittles and Arizona iced tea.

I would bet that, after 18 years of training, she could have taken the knife away from him and shoved it up his butt.

She studied for 18 years and could only manage a stalemate until police arrived.

Dude, a stalemate with 2 to 1 odds --at least one of whom is armed-- for any extended amount of time is pretty damn good.
Think about how long police response-time is in your neighborhood; consider that 10min is pretty dang fast.

Since they will not reveal the ethnic status of the two perps...good bet they are either Black or Hispanic.

The 18 yr old is old enough to release his name

Not that it matters, but Josiah Sullivan is one of Obama's sons.

She should have made them come over to the house and clean out her Garage.

This story reminds me of a story from nearby Orlando a few years ago when a local rapist terrorized female tourists over a period of several months.

Then came the week of the AAU Karate Championships at the nearby Disney sports complex ...

The women used him for pre-event warm-ups.

Two against one, and each of the two likely larger and stronger. Which makes the real odds three or four to one against.

She done good.

Kung Fu is nice but but I like “Ching-Ching” as in M1911 .45 ACP!

“I don’t know if it’s the case in WA, but in some places, pulling out a knife makes it aggravated assault, a felony.”

I would say having a knife pulled on you is a good enough reason to use that extra chop to the throat.

A friend of mine took karate for years and got pretty good at it.

But she always said, "If a big guy comes at me, I'm shootin' him."

"My daughter is taking her test for her karate black belt this afternoon :-) She’s been studying for six years. This type of thing is one of he reasons I wanted her to start karate."

One hopes that you (or a qualified instructor) is also teaching her to shoot. My wife and I don't have kids (wanted but couldn't), but had I a daughter, I would see that she had access to both.

Thanks for the link. It appears that this Obama’s son’s status is “Out of Custody”. Must be out working on the campaign registering voters.

In Texas that young boy would have probably found out he brought a knife to a gunfight.
