A nine year old boy used brazilian jiu jitsu to save a twelve year old girl from a pit bull, and he had only been learning the sport for a couple of months. Below is an excerpt taken from The Bakersfield Californian:
"(9 year old) Drew was walking with his neighbor after getting the mail last week when the pit bull started attacking the neighbor's dachshund. She tried to save her dog, but the pit bull started attacking her instead.
That's when Drew, who his mother described as a "passive, sweet little boy" who "gets beat up all the time" in class, stepped in. He wanted to kick it, he said, but thought the dog would just bite his leg. Instead he put the move on him. "He was moving really hard, like one of those rodeo bulls," Drew said. "Then he went limp."
For more than 20 minutes, Drew held the panting dog until Animal Control officials arrived."
He used a rear naked choke. BAM. Give him his blue belt.
