Robbery Victim
A robbery on Bonneville Drive in a convenience store parking lot was avoided due to Michele Schipper’s quick thinking. Schipper pulled into the convenience store parking lot around 4 pm in broad daylight. She suspects the burglar was hiding around the dumpster because she didn’t see anyone while pulling into the side parking space.
While the burglar approached he told Schipper, “Give me your purse.” As he got closer she reached into her vehicle to grab her purse, turned around, and kicked him in the groin. To make sure she had time to escape the situation she also gave him a roundhouse kick to the nose. A roundhouse is a kick in which the attacker swings his leg around in a semicircular motion, striking with the front of the leg or foot.
There weren’t any witnesses to the attempted robbery and when the police arrived the man was no longer there.
In the quick seconds of the robbery, Schipper didn’t have time to think but her first instinct helper her get away safely. With no prior judo or self-defense training, Schipper found the power to defend herself and escape the situation
I like how you explained what a roundhouse was, I quoted that part because I didn't know quite how to explain it, but this worked really well.
