Wrong person to mug

This happend to a friend of mine. No news accounts form what I could find, but trust me, from what I've seen I don't doubt this happened for a second.
He was attending a festival in Minnesoata, and him and his wife had decided to go to the Mall of America. While walking to his car, he was approached by two thugs. Thug one walked one front of him, holding a knife at waist level. Thug two came at his left side, armed with a chain. Now surrounded, thug one said. "Ok A**hole, give me your f***ing wallet."
Now a little background history on my friend. He has been in martial arts for years and is a world competitor. Needless to say, pulling a knife on him only succeeded in getting him really annoyed. Before thug one knew what was going on, he was nailed with a palm strike to the chin, which broke his jaw, knokced out all his teeth, and still had enough force to break his nose.
Now under strict Darwin rules, thug one doesn't qualify for an award, since he will still be able to reproduce, and the fact his actions weren't particullary stupid, just unlucky. However, thug two qualifies fully for a Darwin Award as we will see. Thug two, after seeing his friend fall from somebody who obviously knew how to fight, and was scared of them in the slightest, still decided to attack. He lifted his chain over his head to strike, which to my friend, is the equivalent of saying "Come and give me your best shot". My friend delivered a side thrust kick, a very powerful technique, to thug two's crotch. Thug two didn't even utter a sound as he went down.
I am unsure of the extent of the damage to thug two, but at the very least, he was kicked out of the gene pool long enough to win him a Darwin Award. Submitted on 03/18/2002
