I still can't firgure out how you get two black belts in the same art from the same instructor. Once you make black it's not like you can start over again from the beginning with the same instructor in the same art.
Her martial art pretty much prohibits tournament competition. That's good in some ways, but students never learn to adapt to a wide variety of opponents and styles of attack if they only spar classmates. So it's really no surprise that she got her clock cleaned in a real battle.
By the way, how does anyone get two black belts in the same art from the same instructor? Why not just give her 2nd degree?
But I still have a hard time understanding how a tall, well-built woman like Lynne who holds two black belts in martial arts could lose to a secretary/bodyguard. Lynne was 59 years old at the time of the incident, so her opponent was probably quite a bit younger than her, which could make a difference. The other woman also must have had some type of training if she nailed Lynne with a Judo chop to the back of her neck.
I don't know how well built she is ... don't forget, the camera adds a few pounds. Maybe more than a few. If you've ever seen someone on tv and then met them in person, they're usually suprisingly tiny. I've never seen Lynne in person but I have a feeling she's not too big.
No disrespect to her art, but those black belts are at least a little questionable when the student's been protected from open competition.
Although Lynne holds a double black belt in Chow-Kwang-Do, a criminal's female bodyguard reportedly got the best of Lynne while Lynne was working as a part-time deputy sheriff in Atlanta in 2005.
Reportedly, Lynne went to the man's residence in her full deputy uniform, complete with badge and gun, to question him.
I believe it. Although there are some seriously tough female martial artists, as a rule, they don't get tested as hard for black belt as men do. It's like the difference between the Marines for men and the Marines for women. And that's at the serious schools. Lots of McDojos out there festooning America's strip plazas aren't even teaching the genuine article.
Besides, who's to say the female bodyguard didn't have training?
The report from the Sheriff's office said the female bodyguard jumped Lynne from behind, and quickly knocked Lynne's gun away from her After a few minutes of physical combat, Lynne pulled out her metal police baton. But the bodyguard soon knocked out Lynne with a hard Judo chop to the back of the neck. Lynne then got out of the detective business, and took off for Canada.

If it were me, I'd let Lynne win :-)
