I'm not comfortable with this idea that if you have an MA qualification then you deserve different treatment than those that don't. Plenty of have been injured and/or killed by people with no MA training. There's just something that's very uneasy about reading these stories. If you go and beat somebody up and assualt them then you should be dealt with in the same way as anyone else.

I've heard of stories of burglars breaking into a house, falling over a plant pot, injuring their leg and then suing the house owner. There was a case a few years ago where a man had stabbed a burglar who had broken into his home some 16 times and the burglar then died. The homeowner got a pretty large sentence if I remember.

I agree, my mate was eventually asked to attend a questioning over one of these assaults. He was never tought the lesson of self restraint and walking away. It put me in an arkward postion having to wade in and break up every fight he got into, eventually I just walked away...gob****es gone completly the oposite now, just a harmless junkie, with 12/13 year old beatin him up. crazy.

The other side of all of this is that there are plenty of average (or below) martial artists that are training their chosen styles once or twice a week and while they enjoy their training they may not have the ability to defeat a scum bag looking for trouble. What way will a judge look at these individuals if they get jumped on and the scum is caught, will they get a lighter sentence because the victim has some martial arts experience.....
