or you could be that family of your neighborhood!
Did you hear how this young man said goodbye ???!!! He said, "Thank you ma'am." I almost fell out of my seat. Good for you Mom and Dad for teaching your children well. Thank you for caring and that woman.
his father doesnt look like a big guy stature wise so its impressive he held the perp down. im so thankful for this family. this is what the USA is about, i wish we could remember that from time to time.

My 15 year old daughter can absolutely cripple men twice her size. I've seen her throw men and even gave her dad a concussion once because he landed wrong. size matters not

I would also recommend Okinawa style Karate or Shaolin Kempo. Try out different dojos.
Martial arts and First Aid/CPR are the keys to going from bystander to great samaritan. This family's keen observations and spontaneous teamwork saved the day from much more horrific set of possibilities.

well said, good situation awareness
This family quite possibly saved a life! They are indeed heroes! I need to correct what the interviewer said at the end though "we could have had a terrible terrible crime". A terrible terrible crime did occur. That victim's life is changed forever. She is alive but her life as she knew it has been stolen.

I’m glad they got there before he did something worse to her. I pray she gets therapy and the job gets more security at the workplace and more employees so none are left alone with costumers like this.

I'm proud of this American Family. I hope they are all given the highest esteem in their community...!!! Bravo!
As a Marketing Communications professional with 25 years experience in integrated public relations, this is THE BEST PR ever for a business! They did the right thing... extending themselves in service to the community they serve (corporate social responsibility), using the very same skills they teach as part of their business. Everyone for many miles should be flocking to this place to learn Tae Kwon Do from this particular family.

Definitely heroes. I really liked how the dad used the guy's shirt to control him and didn't need to strike him. That's very important.

The son stayed to help his dad and not filmed him immobilising the perpetrator. Some people may record it to use as future promotional materials for their business.
God bless this wonderful family!!! They are true American heroes!
This is a miracle , couldn’t we all learn from this family the world would be a better place. ❤
The victim must be shouting very loudly that his father was alert enough to hear her. She was being attacked in the employee room back inside the shop so it should quite a distance from the shop front parking lot. Fortunately, she was saved by this hero family in nick of time.

I think she was dragged back there after she screamed because they saw them through the window at first.
So proud this family helped rescue a victim. My family and I are also into martial arts in addition to safety and tactical firearms training. You never know when you would need to defend yourself, your loved ones, or someone else. Bravo to this family! God bless.
Great story, phenomenal family!!.
Heros each one, this is the AMERICAN FAMILY we want to hold up and celebrate!!!!!!

One of my sensais has a belt that is basically threadbare with little black left. He refuses to replace it because he earned that belt (4th don) in China and after years of work. My kids worked with a 5th don master who had two belts like this.

That's how you know a "black belt" has had that rank a long time. Their belt "turns white".

They may also, depending on the discipline, issue a separate belt for a Grand Master.
Wow, much respect for this family! I so admire them for not only having the training for a situation like this, but for not hesitating to use their education and skills to save this woman's life! What a wonderful story. I wish many good things for Simon and his family. And I wish they lived next door to me! 😊
Oh, I wish there was video so this family of heroes could really go viral! Dad leads by example. How proud they must be. I hope they are getting really for all their new customers!
It makes me happy when positive stories with heroes are promoted. Good can encourage good.
Heros
'Straight arm hold'...Wish this Family the BEST if they don't already have it! HERO'S!!!
They’re the real Incredibles
Bravo to each one of those brave family members!
Thank you from me too. I really appreciate your father's observations, clearly he is super smart and has that ability to sense when things are out of the ordinary. Best wishes.
What a wonderful human and father with an amazing family ❤.
Yeah! Thankyou to the family of Tae Kwon Do!
God bless those people. They are awesome.
A life saved.
Heroes 👍
As a former student of taekwondo 3rd degree black belt! You guys are heros thank you for helping the lady 🙏🏽❤ i hope the victim come to your School for TKD lessons
Great family blessed ❤️🙏
So great to know there are still good samaritans and hero’s amoung us. Thank you for saving this women, who had to be terrified. Hope this town gives this family an award of recognition, Key to the city, etc. Too many stories of people hearing someone in destress, but don’t want to get involved. Thank God for this family.
Pinnacle of the Asian American Dream right here
God bless this family for being in the right place at the right time and doing something about it. I grew up training in martial arts for years and I am very blessed because I never could actually had to use it in a serious way. I haven't trained consistently in a number of years but I still have that fighting instinct.I hope that I never have to
Ty, dear family ❤
We all need to be vigilant about crime. Carry mece ladies and learn self defense.
The father is a truly remarkable person.
This is like a movie!
Hope they get some more business out of this. And I hope the girl is healing. ❤️🩹
Beautiful family. The Cricket employee will be forever grateful. Hope she heals and puts this behind her.
The News Caster is making a big fuss, the Black Belts were just "taking care of business." As it should be.
So grateful there are still good people who help!
WOW that was a miracle 👏👏 and an act of kindness
I have never heard of anything like that happening in Katy! God Bless this family!!
Praise God for these prepared people!
love this family
❤ sending gratitude to the family and much success! Thank you
Sounds like a family of true bad asses 👍👍
What a beautiful and wonderful family! May they receive all the blessings! ❤
God Bless them for stepping in,,,
God bless that family for saving the Cricket employee. Their training kicked in automatically when the real life situation called for it. Dad was aware of his surroundings and recognized trouble when he saw it. Maybe the woman will want to take some martial art lessons from her heros next door.
Got him with the old gi chokeout...😅 (if your opponent has a shirt on, it's on of the easiest ways to control them.)
👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼 a family of heroes ❤
Everybody was kung foo fighting! Awesome people!!!
Awesome story…totally hero family. I wish only the best for them as well as the woman victim. If she or any of her family is reading this, just know there are many resources out there that will help in her recovery process.
Beautiful people doing beautiful things ❤
Kudos to this family for saving the young lady👍🤩..My daughter is 1 belt away from her black belt in Taekwondo. I tell her to use her skills if ever in danger,no holding back.
Thank you for this lovely family for saving her! ❤
Great job! You all saved her❤
Thank you!
This is efing cool! Heros!
Wonderful …. You are amazing ❤
These HEROS walk the walk. ❤️🙏 to the family.
Its not safe for anyone to be working in these stores alone. Thank God they helped. I hope the courts do their part and lock him up.

Wow! Way to go! It’s so dangerous to step in like this. How brave
We need more Hero's like this in the World...I had my 12 year old taking Karate classes for over a year and although I wish it could have been longer, or even for a life time, at least she learned enough to be able to defend herself and get disciplined guidance and other information helpful in a possible attack...Everyone should enroll their child in these classes for at least a couple of years, so they can be aware of the dangers out in this world we now live in, and its done without causing fear in the child. .Again, Thank u to that wonderful family and I hope the victim decides to take some of their classes...
They are brave and awesome! I hope their business picks up more clients so they can prosper very well!
Yes! Heroes!
God bless 🙌 this 😇😇😇😇😇 wonderful family! Much respect to them all for taking action and providing help, support, and protection for another in need 🙏. Their city officials and community need to recognize them, and support their wonderful business❗️ My prayers 🙏 go out to that brave, innocent young lady who never gave up💪, but was traumatized 💌.
