Judo throw saves man from bold bear

[Laughing Cow]

FYI.

MATSUMOTO, Nagano -- A man used a judo throw to scare off a bear that attacked him while he was picking mushrooms on a Nagano Prefecture mountain Monday afternoon, police said Tuesday.

At around 3:50 p.m., Keiichi Yamaguchi, 63, a resident of Matsuda, Kanagawa Prefecture, was picking mushrooms on a mountain in Omachi, Nagano Prefecture, when an Asiatic black bear suddenly attacked him, police said.

The bear bit Yamaguchi on the hand and left thigh and he responded by hitting it on the nose and in the stomach. When he used a judo technique to hurl the bear, it ran away from the scene. The bear was about 170 centimeters long, police said.

Yamaguchi said his injuries are not serious, but he intends to receive medical treatment at a local hospital. (Compiled from Mainichi and wire reports, Japan, Aug. 19, 2003)

True enough! Have you seen those vicious claws on those things?!?!? Not to mention their ability to p!ss on you from a great height. And those fluffy ears are deadly.

[SevenStar]

I'd really like to know what throw he used.

[Serpent]

Joedoe - you have a point. They are horrible b@stards really.

7* - whatever it was, you gotta have heaps of respect. The dude is 63!

Iron balls and bear faced cheek!

;)

[Mr Punch]

Meh, it's yet another uncorroborated report of a TMA winning some un-named challenge match.

Funny how nobody's even heard of this bear! And what was his fight record? A few fish, and the occasional worm pie?

Man, Royce would have choked the **** bear, and held him in a submission till the video cameras and newspapers had turned up to record the event.

[rubthebuddha]

mat,

you're ignoring the fact that he was out picking mushrooms.

nuff said.






seriously, though, probs to the old bugger.

[GunnedDownAtrocity]

i would have fondled its balls and made a new friend.

[Mr Punch]

Is that you fondling my balls!?:eek:

[sing fu]

What is it with old Japanese guys and judo throwing bears? I swear I hear at least one of these 'grudge match' reports a year. Is this something like our own 'big fish' stories or what?!?

[GunnedDownAtrocity]

Is that you fondling my balls!?

yes.

[Mr Punch]

Just so's I know.

I'm still not gonna be your friend you know.

In fact, unless you fondle em real good, I'm gonna have to throw a bear at you.




sing: it's the first thing I learned in aiki: kumanage. The second throw is tobiuonage which is the technique of throwing big fish, well at least this big at your enemies (usually really really big bears). No, honest.

[CaptinPickAxe]

He should of killed it and made a hoodie out of it....

[Shaolin-Do]

I choked out an angry marmoset once...

[CaptinPickAxe]

...and then in came Kazushi Sakuraba, chocking Royce to death and taking the credit for the victory...

[Shaolin-Do]

Trogdor would burninate sakuraba and gracie at the same time.
Screw you guys, Im goin home.
Peaceout!

[Kristoffer]

Cool story..
Reminds me of that JACK-ASS (silly censoring-h0rny baaastards) episode where he is wrestling with a grizzly. :)

[red5angel]

I personally would have taken the bear to the ground since that is the only true way to fight.

[old jong]

You have to insert your hand as deeply as possible in it's mouth,grab something and then,you pull it inside out like a glove.
Easy!...;)

[Serpent]

Doesn't bear thinking about.

[shaolin kungfu]

Oh man, that was a horible pun serpent.

[Serpent]

Just grin and bear it.

[shaolin kungfu]

[Serpent]

[shaolin kungfu]

I'll bear that in mind before posting more

[old jong]

[Serpent]

I sometimes bear my teeth when I'm sparring.

[Serpent]

No one going to panda to my whimsy any more?

:(

[joedoe]

Steady on, I've bearly had time to catch my breath :D

[joedoe]

[Chang Style Novice]

What a grisly mess this thread has turned into.

[Chang Style Novice]

I think someone here probably has a bi Polar personality disorder.

[Serpent]

I love this thread. It's my Sun and Moon.

[Laughing Cow]

Time to hand out an Award.
:D

[Chang Style Novice]

Fu(k you, Teddy Boy!

[Serpent]

Of course you can beat a dead horse. It's what KFO's all about.

Beating a dead horse! What an ursannine suggestion.

[Chang Style Novice]

The koala-ty of the puns is dropping sharply, I'm afraid.

Aaah, miss those old Rallies.

Don't Pooh Pooh things!

[Laughing Cow]

Surprised nobody mentioned Drop-bears yet.

BTW, busy wrestling with 3 bears: Gummi-bears.

And if you don't like it tell it to a Care-Bear.

;)

[joedoe]

This is getting oso silly.

[Laughing Cow]

Atleast not as silly as forbiding kids to come to creche dressed in Super-hero costumes.
;)

[Serpent]

Are they allowed to dress as bears?

SuperTed?

[Laughing Cow]

You mean Super Kuma-San (Super bear)
on Animax, I enjoyed that one.
:D

Don't know if they are allowed to dress ask bears ask your goverment.

[joedoe]

Yogi? Boo Boo? How about Hair bear?

[Serpent]

What's that dodgy Aussie bear kids character that never wears any trousers?

(Yeah, you read that right!)

[joedoe]

Humphrey?

[Serpent]

Is it? I'm asking you!

Actually, that's familiar. Humphrey B Bear right?

[joedoe]

Humphrey rocks. Well, he did when I was a kid anyway. The lack of pants is a little disturbing, but he is still such a cool kids character - a pantsless bear that doesn't talk!

[Serpent]

And so ends this thread. I mean, really, there's just nowhere left for it to go.

Bacon sammich time, I guess.

:)

[shaolin kungfu]

MMMM, bacon sammiches. I cant bear being without them

Edit: MMMMMMMM (http://www.yorkshirefarms.com/images/breakfast_r3.jpg)

[joedoe]

How many bacon sammiches can a bear eat?

[shaolin kungfu]

Well, a 1978 study on the subject came up with these nuumbers.

Grizzly- 48
Brown bear-36
black bear-32
polar bear- 6. For some reason the polar bear did not like bacon very much.

There was also a study done on the koala, even though it is not,in fact, a bear. It found that koalas do not eat bacon.

[Serpent]

Nor do pandas.

That's just one of the many reasons that both koalas and pandas are totally fukked.

(Except Sexual Harrassment Panda - he was cool).
