Score two for the ladies

Up in Chicago recently, two of our Kenpo ladies were grabbed on separate occasions and successfully used their knowledge to thwart the attacks.
     One was leaving a museum when a man grabbed her wrist and attempted to steal her purse. Unfortunately for him, he found himself in the Crossing Talon position  and having a broken wrist. Even better, a police officer saw the attempt and was running over to help as he saw she really didn't need it (his words). The man was arrested. Our girl is an 18 year-old, new black belt in my lineage.
    The second instance was on the job. A female yellow belt was working at one of the large shipping companies loading a truck. A co-worker decided he liked what he saw and grabbed her from behind and his "international hands- rushin' hands and roamin' fingers" went to work. She rewarded him with a spur kick in the groin. That stopped him. He was reported to the higher-ups. He's allegedly done this before and they don't seem to think anything needs to be done.  Apparently they can get your package to you but don't protect their employees.   
     Nice job, ladies. I'm glad you're safe.
