Former USA Judo member disarms suspected mugger in Kansas City

According to the Kansas City Star Josh Henges, 36, was walking home from a convenience store on Monday evening when he felt someone grab him around the shoulders and press a gun into his back. Henges turned around to see a 20-year-old with a gun pointing at his forehead. The armed man told Henges to hand over his possessions.

Henges, a former member of the USA Judo team and a current BJJ instructor, did not comply.

Instead of giving over his wallet, Henges grabbed the suspected robber by the shoulder, disarmed him, took him to the ground and restrained.
