Animals "Taekwondo monkeys attack trainer."

Posted by Paul Constant on Fri, Dec 18, 2009 at 11:29 AM

Angry Asian Man has the story*:

Hu Luang, 32, a bystander who photographed the incident, said: "I saw one punch him in the eye - he grabbed another by the ear and it responded by grabbing his nose. They were leaping and jumping all over the place. It was better than a Bruce Lee film."

At one point the monkey trainer grabbed a staff to hit the monkeys, only to find himself facing a stick-brandishing monkey that cracked him over the head.

Between the monkey martial artists and the sex robots, I have a feeling 2010 is going to be awesome.

(Thanks to Slog Tipper Tim.)

*And, like AAM, I have my doubts as to whether the story is true or not. But this is definitely one of those times when you've gotta print the legend.

not tae kwon do- the art of kicking, more like the shaolin art of monkey kung fu, a very useful and practical form of kung fun.

I think I first saw this on Slog a while back. And I think there was a video, but I can't find it. But here are some pics.
