63 year old Japanese fisherman uses karate to fight off black bear in mountains - Polidicks

[quote]A 63-year-old Japanese man says he used his karate skills to fight off a black bear that attacked him in a mountain creek. Atsushi Aoki was fishing when the 190-centimetre animal set upon him in what he said was an unprovoked attack. In scenes seemingly reminiscent of Leonardo Di Caprio's epic tussle with an angry bear in the Oscar-winning film The Revenant, Mr Aoki was bitten and scratched repeatedly, including on his head. "The bear was so strong, and it knocked me down," Mr Aoki told Tokyo Broadcasting System. "It turned me over and bit me right here," he added, pointing to his bandaged leg. But instead of trying to outrun the animal — an Asian black bear — the fisherman decided he would use his well-honed karate skills. After assuming a fighting stance with his right fist in front of him, Mr Aoki jabbed at his attacker's eyes, which sent the creature scrambling away into the woods.[/quote] [url]http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-09-02/japanese-fisherman-uses-karate-skills-to-fight-off-bear/7810940[/url]

"He drove himself to hospital, [B]and he even remembered to grab the fish that he had caught[/B]," a local police officer told AFP.[/QUOTE] Well at least the trip wasn't for nothing.

This is so fucking amazing I can't even fathom it. What is it with old men and owning bears?! I remember reading about some 60ish year old american that killed a bear with his cane by sticking it down its throat.

The fact that black bears are massive pussies probably saved him. If what I've heard about grizzlies is true, one of those would have gone berserk and ripped him apart.

fucking badass

The spirit of C. Dale Petersen, was clearly reincarnated in this man, and he kept the fish because the food-chain demands that man is on top!

Factual footage of the fight. [video=youtube;CVS1UfCfxlU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CVS1UfCfxlU[/video]

[QUOTE=TheHydra;50990256]black belt vs. black bear[/QUOTE] Fun fact the Japanese didn't use belts in karate they were added by the Americans when the sport was introduced to them.

[QUOTE=TheHydra;50990256]black belt vs. black bear[/QUOTE] I'd watch it.

That is amazingly metal.

I feel like learning karate now.

This guy is a straight up puss imo. [url]http://www.nationalpost.com/m/wp/news/canada/blog.html?b=news.nationalpost.com/news/canada/ontario-man-survives-battle-with-mother-bear-by-scoring-two-punch-knock-down[/url]

Further confirms the stereotype from Anime of Japanese Old Men being masters at martial arts

This is some TheOnion shit. Only real.
