Simple techniques of self-defense must be learned by all. After all, you never know when and at what point of life you would need to implement them. Moreover, you can be safer when you are fit or a body-builder!
And we have already seen cases where women fighters or those trained in martial arts have thrashed burglars on the street like a boss. Another such case has come to light in New York where an 82-year-old woman bodybuilder, Willie Murphy, beat down a man who broke into her home.
Explaining the incident to CNN, Murphy said, “It’s kind of semi-dark and I’m alone, and I’m old. But guess what, I’m tough. He picked the wrong house to break into.”
Murphy reportedly tackled the intruder with household items, beginning with a table. “I took that table and I went to working on him. And guess what? The table broke,” she told WHAM.
After beating him badly with the table’s metal legs, Murphy jumped on him a couple of times, ran towards the kitchen to get a bottle of baby shampoo and squeezed it on his face. She thrashed him with a broom and dragged him out of her home. Murphy says that she can deadlift 220 pounds but struggled to drag the man out of her house.
“He wants to get the heck out of there. And I’m trying to help him get out of the house, but he’s too heavy. I can’t move him. He’s dead weight,” she said.
The police to arrived on time and nabbed the intruder. “So they come in,” she said. “He’s laying down already because I had really did a number on that man. I’m serious,” Murphy explained.

The man was sent to a hospital for the injuries he sustained. “I think he was happy when he went in the ambulance because I sent him in the ambulance. Yes, I did,” Murphy said.
