Eleanore Sayers, 20, told a jury she was followed for 12 minutes by Nicholas Ian Flood, before he grabbed her around the chest and tried to drag her towards some bushes near her home in Llangoed, near Beaumaris.
Ms Sayers said Flood, 36, of Lime Walk, Wilmslow, then ordered her “to do as she was told”.
Speaking via a video link at Caernarfon Crown Court, Miss Sayers, a karate brown belt holder, said she elbowed Flood in the stomach before punching him in the chest.

...

Flood was arrested less than an hour later after a massive police search. Police officers found a knife and duct tape in his rucksack.

I love hearing stories such as these. I seem to be constantly reading about how karate , tkd , kung fu etc are "of little use in a real life self defence situation". Stories like these prove otherwise.

Simple and to the point techniques, good for her. Some people are victims, others refuse to be.

Couldn't agree more with the last 2 posters. I too, enjoy hearing success stories like this. +1 for the good guys.
