i've told this one before...
but it ties in better with this question than the one i actually answered: this happened to a friend of mine's little cousin, who was about 11 at the time, and is also asian (as in his parents are from laos)... after school he'd have to take the inner city train (this is in paris, so the RER if you've ever been) to go home, and was waiting on the platform when a couple of older kids (14 years old or so i think) tried bullying him into giving them his trainers or something... unfortunately for them, he'd been trained in some sort of martial art, and he kicked their arses all over the place. Nice. I wish i'd been there... I myself have never been mugged but i'm quite sure i was followed home by two blokes once and i managed to get into my building a few seconds before they caught up with me, i saw their shadows through the glass of the front door... scary stuff, but served me right for living in dodgy area.
