Four robbers met their match in a teacher of martial arts and his young student this weekend.

The crooks, in their 20s, robbed a woman of her handbag on a riverside street in Chengdu of Sichuan Province and ran away.

Hearing the woman cry for help, the teacher and his 13-year-old student rushed at the robbers, caught them easily using their kung fu, and handed them over to police.
