During the late 1980s a gullible martial-arts student was convinced that he could kill any wild animal. After all, his tutor had told him and his follow students that they had now reached the point in their training at which they could perform such a feat. Being physically able to deliver a blow that will kill is one thing, but getting the intended victim to hold still while you line up your punch is quite another.
This student decided to put his newfound skills to the test, and one night stole into the Melbourne Zoo. How best to test his lethal skills? On a lion, of course – what else? So he went into the lions’ enclosure and tried to take on one of its dangerous occupants. Unfortunately he didn’t get to land a single blow, because the lion – totally unaware of the newly acquired lethal punching power of the intruder – attacked him first. The next day, . . . well you can guess the outcome.
