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.

Spare the duct tape, spoil the job.

You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

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

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