Martial arts training against dogs???

Minnesota Man Uses Martial Arts to Save Woman From Rottweilers
Saturday August 22, 2009
It used to be that you learned martial arts to defend against people. As Jesse Piotrowski found out on Tuesday morning in Mankato, Minnesota when he was awoken by a woman crying, those moves can be used against man's best friend as well. Actually, it was more like man's best friends. You see, jumping from his bed in only his shorts, he came outside to find that a woman was being attacked by two rottweilers.

Not a situation that anyone looks forward to. Still, in true hero fashion Piotrowski used some undefined martial arts training to punch the dogs and help the woman back into her home before the owner of the dogs showed up and stopped them. The woman suffered a broken wrist and Piotrowski left with bites on his leg. By the way, this isn't the only situation where martial arts techniques were used to stop a dog in recent days. Not too long ago, a boy used a rear naked choke to quell a pitbull that was attacking a friend of his.

These are different days. At this point, we don't know what style of fighting Piotrowski has practiced, only that he mentioned pivoting on his feet martial arts style to deliver his punches. Regardless, he certainly came through when needed.

Don't you think everyone could use some basic self-defense training?
