Who knew you can learn something from watching Anime?!
23-year-old Karin Ryo walked into a convenience store in the Japanese city of Yokohama, when a man attempted to shoplift a six-pack and attempted to run. The clerk confronted him, and the two tussled near the exit, and that's when Ryo stepped in. She took the man down by the legs, and put him in a headlock, as he tried to break free by biting her on her left forearm. Ryo didn't let go and she kept him subdued until the police arrived and placed him under arrest.
“I’ve never done martial arts. I took tea ceremony lessons,” Ryo said. “I like anime, so I just sort of imitated what I’ve seen in it. At the time, I wasn’t scared, it felt like my body was just moving on its own.”
The Tsurumi police precinct praised her courage, and Ryo got to test some new skills she didn't even know she had.
