RACHEL 02/28/2008 13:28:59

DAYTON, Ohio -- A former Greene County Judo instructor will go to prison for having sex with one of his young students.

33-year-old Dan Doyle was sentenced to 10 years behind bars in Federal Court today.

He was convicted of having sex with a 14-year old girl. The crimes occurred at Judo competitions overseas in 2005 and 2006.

The victim's mother says the family will never get over the betrayal.

Bullshido busted one recently.

It started because a guy was going by the name 'Layn Von Erich' and claiming MMA experience. And yes, he was claiming to be part of the famous pro-wrestling family. The guy was teaching MMA at a TKD school. It turned out that his real name was Ralph Calvillo. Aside from not being part of the Von Erich family, he was a convicted, registered sex offender. His criminal record and picture were on the Texas Dept of Corrections website.

...unless the lion was a law officer. It's more a case of idiocy.

Martial arts teacher knocked down by lion during a photo shoot

Toronto (PTI): An Indo-Canadian martial arts teacher was knocked over by a lion during a photo shoot at Bowmanville Zoo last month and suffered non-life threatening injuries.

Gitanjali Kolanad, who was hit during the photo session organized by the Toronto Star-owned magazine 'Desi Life' which produced a successful cover photo for the March-April issue, said: she was happy to have come away with four broken ribs and a bloodied lung.

"To be honest, the sensation I have is a great deal of gratitude to be alive," Kolanad said on Wednesday.

Kolanad, 54, practises the ancient Indian martial art of Kalaripayat, fashioned after the movements of animals such as lion, elephant, wild boar and pea****.

The magazine suggested her to pose with a lion.

"I thought, 'Sure Photoshop'," Kolanad recalled. When she understood better, she said, she was excited and an appointment was made with "Leo" for February 20, the Toronto Star reported yesterday.

A video of the session shows the beast first knocking over editor Sonia Verma. She picks herself up and smiles. It next paws the legs of photographer Richard Lautens. Off-camera it also took a swipe at the legs of art director Spencer Wynn.

The three-year-old lion was lying nearby when Kolanad began her movements. Apparently wanting to frolic, the animal jumped up and fell on her, bruising her left lung and breaking four left ribs.

It was not an attack, the witnesses said, as lion's mouth was not open and Kolanad was not scratched. The Bowmanville Zoo, Canada's oldest zoo, had no comment on the incident.

In the video, one minder kicks lion in the neck while the other pulls on a leash. The beast takes a second, unsuccessful lunge at Kolanad, before it is escorted out the door.

Although unable to work for the past month and still in pain, Kolanad said she feels on the mend.

My......This subject has attracted a lot of attention.

I personally don't think the MA world is any more effected than any other sports where you have guys working with young girls. I once had a chance to coach a girls basketball team (11 to 14 years old) and I turned it down. The truth is to do your job as a coach you are going to have to have contract with the players and on occasion your hands may end up in some places that might be considered off limits in other situations. However that's just the nature of coaching.

In something like BJJ or Judo this would be multiplied and parents of these girls should realize this. Now of course same sex instructors would probably be the best solution but this is not always possible.

All that said this is no different from anything else. On occasion you are going to have problems. Let's face it they are many, many men out there who will take advantage of a situation....as a school owner all you can do is pay attention to what is happening in your school.

Kung fu actor fined in Hong Kong for punching ambulanceman
Posted : Fri, 21 Mar 2008 04:18:04 GMT

Hong Kong - An actor in martial arts movies was fined 2,000 Hong Kong dollars (250 US dollars) over a brawl in which he punched an ambulance driver, a newspaper reported Friday. Law Kwan-lam, 54, received the sentence Thursday after pleading guilty to a charge of common assault that occurred January 28 near his home in the Kowloon area of Hong Kong, the South China Morning Post said.

Earlier reports said Law, also known as Law Mong and a popular actor since 1976, was arrested after he reportedly kissed two men and then punched the driver before being overpowered by a paramedic.

A charge of drunk and disorderly conduct was withdrawn against Law, who appeared in movies that included Shaolin Temple, Chinatown Kid and The ******* Swordsman.

Man stabbed in chest during drunken martial arts sparring

Crime

A Toronto man has been charged with obstructing police after apparently stabbing a friend during a drunken sparring match at a martial arts studio early Sunday morning.

Toronto police received a 911 call just before 2 a.m. Sunday to a studio on Queen Street East. When they arrived, a man was suffering from a collapsed lung and a 43-year old male was uncooperative with police, according to Staff Sgt. David Lowe.

“The two were sparring back and forth and one was accidentally stabbed in the chest,” said Sgt. Lowe. “Alcohol was involved.”

The two men, who are members of the club, were using martial arts edged weapons, according to Sgt. Lowe.

Investigators said it appears as though the men didn’t realize how serious the injuries were until paramedics arrived. “It wasn’t until we got the one party to the hospital that they realized how serious... he could have died.”

According to Sgt. Lowe, the 43-year old man charged with obstructing police, was interfering with the investigation. “The obstruct police charge was laid because of the uncooperativeness when we initially responded to the call. One party that had accidentally stabbed the other party was trying to hide the fact of what had happened.”

Police said the two men are members of the martial arts club and appeared to be at the studio lawfully.

I don't understand how live weapon sparring makes these people bad.

only Darwin's laws should apply in that particular instance.

anyway, aren't you american? the land of 'accidental' shootings. lol

p.s there's no such thing as an accident, clearly someone wasn't thinking or was acting in ignorance.

Nice to know you can major in martial arts at Korean Universities...

Four students arrested in fatal hazing incident
March 27, 2008
Police arrested four college students from Yong In University in Gyeonggi yesterday on suspicion that a hazing beating resulted in a fellow student¡¯s death.
The arrests came 22 days after a Yong In freshman, Kang Jang-ho, died of a cerebral hemorrhage.
Investigators indicted the four without physical detention after concluding that they were responsible for Kang¡¯s death, police said.
In the middle of a Valentine¡¯s Day judo training session for newcomers in the school gymnasium, Kang, a martial arts major, suddenly fell into a coma, school authorities announced. Kang died March 4. He was 19.
In the statement the university released following Kang¡¯s death, school authorities said only that the student suddenly felt dizzy after finishing a backward rolling break-fall move in the training session, then collapsed on the mat.
As questions arose over the circumstances of Kang¡¯s death, the Yongin Police Precinct, disregarding the college¡¯s statement, began to investigate the incident.
According to Kang¡¯s classmates, soft mats covered the gymnasium¡¯s floor to prevent injury. Police also added that as a black belt, Kang had been familiar with break-falls.
In their investigation, police said they found that four of Kang¡¯s older classmates beat him more than 20 times with an aluminum sword before the training session. Despite the serious bruises and scratches on his hips and thighs, Kang was forced to participate in the judo match.
¡°Classmates compelled the already injured freshman to participate in the training program,¡± said an officer on the case who declined to be named. ¡°He was not in able condition to practice judo.¡±
Upon receiving reports that other freshmen received routine beatings, the police planned to expand their investigation.
