Gunman gets chop during karate robbery
Mon Sep 10, 9:45 AM ET
BOGOTA (Reuters) - A karate academy was not the best target for a robbery, a Colombian thief found when his attempt got the chop from practicing students, police said on Friday.
The robber was recovering in a hospital in Santander province north of Bogota after the martial artists used their combat skills and took away his gun.
"An individual entered a martial arts school with a firearm but they managed to react, put their knowledge to use and disarmed him," Santander police commander Col. Julio Cesar Santoyo told local Caracol radio.

Orange County, California - One of the challenges facing autistic kids is fitting in. Now a children's hospital in California is teaching kids social skills by using the ancient technique of Karate. Many of the kids in Sensei Wayne Centra's karate class have some form of autism, but you might not know it. Centra wants them to have fun - and express themselves.
"They love doing martial arts and they looked forward to doing therapy every day." Centra is an occupational therapist. He's been teaching karate since he was 15 years old. He developed the "karate for all" program at Children's Hospital of Orange County, California to help children with special needs. Several studies have shown that martial arts can help autistic children build social skills, self confidence and coordination. Wayne Centra/Occupational Therapist." We adapt the karate activities to help them maintain attention span and focus."Kids with autism often have trouble communicating. Scott Runneals says the class has really helped his son, Justin." He feels more comfortable in his own skin and who he is, that he can kind of be himself and express himself."12-year-old Brandon Thomas has Asberger's Syndrom. He was getting teased in school — so his parents signed him up for karate. After 8 months, Brandon's mother, Vick, says she's seen a big change." His confidence is just amazing, and his sense of self esteem because he is accepted."Some of these kids want to follow in Centra's steps, like Luke Maurer who has autism.
"I've been dreaming about being a blackbelt for my whole entire life." For Luke and his classmates, conquering karate may be the first step toward fulfilling even bigger dreams. In Tampa there is a privately run non-profit school for autistic children that's becoming increasingly popular for parents of autistic children.Sydney's School for autism offers individual attention to children. There are 14 autistic students and 30 on the waiting list. The director of the school told us earlier this month there are thousands more Bay Area children who need help.
