He messed with the wrong flight attendant!!!

Flight attendant, Lorin Gorman used her martial arts skills to subdue Kinman Chan,accused of forcing US-Air flight 1447 to divert because he was high on medical marijuana.
Gorman,is a fourth-degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do, tells of how she used an arm lock and a choke hold before Chan was placed in plastic handcuffs, and secured to a seat.
The plane was diverted to Pittsburgh where Chan was arrested. He told police he'd taken a double dose of his medicinal marijuana, eating two pot cookies before the flight.

It's ironic that with her 4th degree black belt in TKD, the techniques she actually used to subdue her attack are not from that style.

arm locks and choke holds are NOT common techniques to TKD.

I'd trust krav maga more than kenpo or tai kwan do, it's actually used for fighting subduing and killing, all the others have been watered down to an exercise.

Interesting I actually dislike fighting even more than usual wen I'm backed

@Xaforn The only martial arts intended to kill eficiently that i know is Krav maga , Aikido yes you can break joints and its have neck breaking moves and that type of thing but its only teach to high grades, Ninjutsu its the art of the ninjas what you expected ? , Kung fu too is intended for killing because its a technique made during the war you can see the weapons its all farmer tools...

Cool!! But where da fuck was the Air Marshal??? Unless the crazy freak WAS the air marshall, lol. "Who watches the watchman?" A flight attendant apparently. Dont rely on the watchmen,bring your own game.

@Xaforn I'd trust KravMaga to solve globalwarming

Yeah, those techniques are in TKD you dumb ass, obviously you don't know that there is seven different styles of TKD, there isn't just one style, just like in Karate, if you think true TKD is what you see in the Olympics, then you have no idea what your talking about. Go get educated in real Martial Arts.

@largefirmmember They do teach some take downs in TKD, and also in TKD there is a lot of sparing, where you use not only specific TKD techniques. Fighting is fighting, you use what you can at the right time.

@largefirmmember WTF, yes, no arm locks and choke holds. But ITF, no.
