Hehe,

The muggers probably thought they had accidently attacked a member of the chinese mafia or something.

Hahaha that must have been perfect!

I also love how the article doesn't say it was a Ninjitsu course, or a martial arts class, but a "Course for ninja warriors". WARRIORS.

It was ninjas, attacking a 'pirate', who was mugging a German, who was studying in Australia. I swear it sounds like an SNL sketch come to life, and it's pretty awesome.

Out here a few years ago a pair of guys tried to carjack a van - full of the members of a judo team on their way to a tournament. The would-be carjackers got a major buttkicking. It was pretty classic.

Reminded me of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4jqnrrrd7E

Multiple guys attack a man whom is a boxer but they have no idea.Check the voice of the man at the end,he says "the fight started because of faulty overtake".

You call that ninjitsu? Please. Now if the muggers awoke from a daze with their hands tied behind their backs, their pants around their ankles, and no idea how they got that way...
