Thugs pick wrong target - a karate instructor
A karate instructor's trip to Fiji was about to get ugly, but not for him.
Unfortunately for the six attackers, they had picked on the wrong guy -- a fourth dan blackbelt in karate.
Craig Nordstrand, 47, had just beaten off four of the attackers. The other two had unsuccessfully had a go at his mate Peter Roche.
After taking an initial beating, the six backed off and surrounded the pair.
Nordstrand tried to give his attackers a warning. "Do you want karate?" he asked.
One of the robbers did, but it was a bad mistake.
"I kicked him straight under the chin and into the throat," Nordstrand said. The gang of thugs scarpered into the Suva darkness.
