Posted on April 3, 2009 by by valerirojas
Another report from ACT Policing on the third kidnap attempt in Canberra this week.
ACT Policing is investigating an attempted abduction from Knoke Avenue, Gordon around 9.10am
today (April 3).
A 10-year-old girl was walking to school when she was approached by a male who offered to give her a lift. The victim refused and was then grabbed by the wrist and dragged toward a vehicle by the male who is described as approximately 5’9” (175cm) tall, with black hair, dark skin and driving a light blue vehicle similar to a Mitsubishi Mirage.
The victim escaped by kicking the offender in the shins and running to her school.
Police would urge members of the public to be vigilant and report all suspicious behavior to police, on 131-444 or if not urgent contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
A face-fit of the offender will be prepared and distributed as soon as possible.

I reckon my teen could give them a bit of a run for their money also. Should I decide to invest in jiu jitsu or something, it might be like, “Are you feeling lucky?” or “Go ahead. Make my day.”

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu to put them in a lock or chock them out and kettlebell training to chuck them around like you know what

What the be-jimminy is kettlebell training?!
(Report comment)
What is Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for that matter …?
(Report comment)
Kettlebell training is basically weightlifting (I’ve never done it, but I’ve seen it), I’d assume Brazilian Ju Jitsu is just the variety of Ju Jitsu they do in Brazil (how many *is* a Brazilian anyway?
).
On a more serious note, one is unfortunate, two is a co-incidence, but three … ? What’s going on here?

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is the best and most effectible proven self defence/martial arts around.
It is a grappling/submission martial art where you can put your offender into a hold or submission. In most real situations every fight will end up on the ground. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu “BJJ” is a ground fighting martial art so while the other person thinks they will punch you on the ground, you are chocking them out or just put them to sleep or just hold them until the cops turn up
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is what all NRL and many AFL teams are using for the tackles, holds and pin downs.
This site is from Canberra, they have a good BJJ group there. http://www.epicbjj.com/
Kettlebell is a Russian weight tool, it is for weight training but it is a round weight which has a handle, great for fitness, strength and helps with injuries. This is the new fitness and weight training method everyone is using in the States and in Europe even though it has been around for many years, American-Hollywood stars, athletes and sport teams are using it. Even the Australian Biggest Loser show had them in one of their episodes.
Anyway this site will explain it better, it is also from Canberra http://www.koretiness.com.au
So back to the serious note: it is very odd for three incidents to be happening within a week, maybe there is more to the story, I wonder if it is a group of idiots doing this?

Or the same idiot … ? Anyone seen the facefits?
(Thanks for the info, Valeri, I learned something! I just like hitting things, myself!
)

Yep, thanks for the links, valeri! The facefits all look different from what I can tell, but that’s not surprising with different witnesses.

I think they are different people as well but who knows, hopefully we will hear the police telling us they caught him/them soon.
L -> I don’t like hitting people, I’ll chock him first, no wait, I’ll break a few bones first
Then I’ll punch him to make sure he learns a good lesson

I didn’t say I liked hitting people! I like hitting stuff. Hard. With purple gloves.

Right, I thought that is what you meant. Let me just write a quick note and stick it next to my monitor “do not mess with L”, done
(Report comment)
That is, if she’s wearing purple gloves
