Beijing bailiffs show off new defense skills

Beijing bailiffs show off their skills using steel forks, a defense tool they invented themselves, during an examination organized by the Supreme Court on Oct 12, 2011. The new tool works to keep attackers at a distance without hurting them. A few cases of attacks on judges or court members during court sessions have occurred in recent years. Judicial policemen must maintain the security of the court without hurting would-be attackers, according to their working principles. Besides their skill using steel forks, the bailiffs also showed off their baton and shield skills, and arresting skills. [Photo/CFP]
