Guyana Mugging - Mantis Kung Fu to the Rescue

Some bad news with a good outcome arrived tonight.  We received a 'Thank You' letter tonight from a long time student that was recently visiting Guyana in South America.  Vincent studied with me for years before, and off and on, during college.  He has recently begun traveling for various research projects post college and ended up in South America.

One night while there, he was escorting a friend home late at night in the city and someone tried to mug them with an object he never saw, but felt.  After being pushed, grabbed, threatened to be killed, and poked with said object, Vincent reacted with a couple blocks and a punch to the guys face, giving him time to pull his own knife.  The guy took off running.

Vincent's friend was in shock but Vincent remained calm and said his training kicked in and he was able to deal with the situation.  Way to go Vincent!  Glad things worked out and good news was the result!

Long live the Mantis!
