Bad Move.

A Colombian armed robber evidently not au fait with martial arts is recovering in hospital after ill-advisedly targetting a martial arts school, Reuters reports.

The attempted blag took place in the nothwestern town Bucaramanga, and local police commander Colonel Julio Cesar Santoyo simply told Caracol radio:

"An individual entered a martial arts school with a firearm and told everyone to put there hands up, but they managed to react, put their knowledge of how to fight with there feet to good use and disarmed him."

In "putting their knowledge" to use, the students apparently gave the man a good kicking, hence the need for medical attention.
