    1. Lol he had absolutely no top control. And going for a one arm guillotine hold, when you’re in top position. He has zero combat sports knowledge.

    2. @KL46 what he did was fine for somebody that doesn’t know how to grapple. But if the criminal knew jiu jitsu or how to wrestle. The worker would’ve gotten his back taken in the scramble.

    3. @KL46 it’s just funny to me how all these people see someone get tackled & they automatically think the guy is a wrestler.

  1. Wrestling in highschool was the best decision I ever made. It’s like riding bike. It all comes natural when you need it no matter how long its been since you used the skill.

  2. Everyone seems to know MMA/grappling these days. Nice reverse headlock. This guy was a wrestler in HS. Don’t ever mess with a wrestler or you’ll end up tapping out caught in an embarrassing position. LOL

    1. I don’t believe that was the mother screaming at the guy while holding the baby. Description said it was the Manager. You should scream at her

  3. Combo guillotine and semi-farm boy choke. Nice! I wish every carjacker story ended this way.

  4. Give that young man a #5 12 count, w/ half n half, a pay raise, and put him in charge of the chick fil a tactical parking lot division.

  5. Should have put that man in a over night stay in the local ER. Good on this man for stopping evil. Chick fil-A doing the lords work lol
