Jiu Jitsu Training for Children Saves Lives

The day after Thanksgiving is usually a day to relax with family and spend some quality time together, but for one 11 year old boy, it was the day that be became a hero!  11-year-old Jonah Yano and his 9-year-old sister, Brooklyn, were going to be spending the day going to work with his father, Jay Yano.

Jay was just about to leave for work with his two children already loaded in the truck when he walked to the back of his vehicle to finish loading some supplies.  It was at that very split second that he stepped to the back of the truck that a 35-year-old-man jumped into the drivers side of the vehicle and attempted to kidnap his two children! Every parent’s worst nightmare was taking place right in front of Jay and their was nothing he could do to stop it.

That’s when 11-year-old Jonah stepped in to save the day! “I just grabbed his shoulder and started punching his face, telling him to get  out of the truck,” said Jonah Yano.  This gave his father enough time to pull the suspect out of the truck. Following the incident, Jonah said he was not scared, he knew his sister was in trouble and she needed help. Jonah Yano’s parents said their son’s years of jiu-jitsu training for children came in handy.
