Female kung fu fighter, aged 60, catches robber in China


BEIJING : A 60-year-old woman in China took the law into her own iron fists when she used her skills as a kung fu enthusiast to catch a robber, state media reported on Wednesday.

The woman was strolling down the street with a friend in the southwest Chongqing municipality when the young criminal grabbed the friend's earring and ran away, the China Daily said.

However, the 60-year-old chased after him, catching him after 600 metres and keeping him in a tight clasp until police arrived, the newspaper reported. - AFP

I'd like to see any 30 year old keep running after someone after the 300 meter mark.

It would've been entertaining to have seen this.

it sounds like just another falsehood perpetuated by TMA types who realise they cannot actually fight, much less run 300 meters....now if she were a 60 year old MMA type, I could believe it.

This proves you have to practice for decades before Kung Fu can be effective. Had she been a 3 month high school wrestling master, she could have chased the guy down and accomplished the same thing at age 15. This story is more about the inefficiency of Kung Fu rather than the fact a 60 year old woman beat down a theif.
