Boy Stops Pit Bull Attack With Jujitsu Choke Hold

Drew Heredia, 9, said he and a friend were walking a small dog Dec. 30 when a pit bull attacked them. Heredia said he jumped on the pit bull and applied a choke hold that he learned while taking Brazilian jujitsu classes.

The wonderful thing about locking someone up in a rear naked choke is they also stop talking while turning blue as a Smurf. Once this young hero puts some more meat on his bones he would have tapped that dog out in 20 seconds...not 20minutes. Bravo!!

I do..I love UFC, and you might be surprised to find out I first developed knowledge of some of these holds as..of all things.. a lifeguard. If you try to pull a panicked swimmer out of the surf, they are so out of it they often become {inadvertantly} aggressive trying to grab your arms and head. Watch their face if they are faking unconciousness on the beach and you give them a loving sternum rub. But if you ask any uppity frat boys (or the old middle school bus stop bullies I mentioned a few weeks ago} from my old college days-they will always remember me as a pure striker!! Good times..good times..

Good thing the young man knew what he was doing because I wouldn't have stopped until I heard it's neck crack.
