GLENDALE, AZ (3TV/CBS 5) -
A Valley construction worker said his years of martial arts training paid off when a man tried to grab a gun from a police officer working at their job site.

The suspect, 29-year-old Dieter Bradford Klofkorn, was able to get the weapon about halfway out of the holster, according to a police report. 

Greg Barkley said he helped the officer subdue the suspect by placing the man in a chokehold and taking him to the ground. Barkley said he has studied martial arts for the last four years, including Brazilian ju-jitsu.

“It really worked out that day,” he said.

You know, any real martial artist would have sprayed the guy with WD-40.

Then the duct tape wouldn't stick as well.   :shrug:
