I wonder what a Thai fighter would have done with him. Probably no video...

Would of most probably ended up in the exact same choke hold. Unless he had a friend but jiujitsu is great for one v one against any martial artists.

As many as 15% of Brazilians may have Italian ancestry:

 

Italian Brazilians - Wikipedia

"A 1999 survey..............indicated that 10.5% of Brazilian respondents claimed to have Italian ancestry; hence they would make up around 20 million descendants in a national population of 200 million"

 

"According to the Italian government, there are 31 million Brazilians of Italian descent"

 

So possibly he describes himself as "Italian-Brazilian", in a similar fashion to people in the USA who describe themselves as Italian-Americans.

 

(Or Irish/German/Swedish/Japanese/Chinese/African/Mexican........-Americans)

 

 

 

 

Badly written but I think he's Italian studying a Brazilian form of Jiu Jitsu.

Indeed. He is Italian but the martial art he practices is Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

No it's not! Jiu Jitsu is a Japanese Martial Art. Japanese living in Brazil developed Brazilian Jiu Jitsu from the Japanese original.

 

 

Andrea is a name for a female. Did the guy have his ball_ cut off? 

 

   You've gotta love it. No chance for the Kamoi.

BJJ is a good grappling style as evidenced by competition successes. However, you better be able to get out of the way of those punches and kicks because a trained boxer, muay thai, or other strike based artist that has speed and power and isn't constrained by competition "rules" may well take your head off. Unless your're similar ability to the Gracies!

An experienced Muay Thai fighter wouldn't let him come close enough and use his deadliest weapon, his knee!! 

Looks like a relaxing place to spend the day.

So, how did you meet your husband?

Watching that video , really admired his coolness with a thief . Well done . 

Nice! It is always refreshing to see a punk get what he deserves. He might think twice (if he is capable of learning, reflection and progressing as a human being), next time. Some people will do anything to avoid working for a living. Oxygen is something we have to earn the right to breathe. It is not something that should be considered a privilege.

Nice job Andrea...but I would have choked him out and let him sleep a while...

Yup - make an example of him so he can tell his friends to stay away.

Andrea is a good candidate for expat health insurance from TVF.

another <deleted> k in vigilante with high ego!

what he is doing is illegal to and can be sued for this.

ok, you caught the guy but why try to choke him and inflict pain?

you are not a cop/judge/executioner combined!

just call the police.

 

and on top, filming it to feed his ego!

i really dont want such people in Thailand really.

Congratulations, first Nancy Boy comment. How your soy latte today?

Well done, Is good to see the POS loosing Face being caught red handed. The owner well within his rights to constrain him until the Fuzz turned up. i am sure he could have easily wiped the floor with him but done the right thing.

"When Andrea, who is a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu expert was aware of the theft, he apprehended the man, keeping him pinned to the ground until the police arrived.

“Don't come to Thailand to break the law and disturb the peace and don't mess with Italians who knows jiujitsu.”

 

So is Andrea Brazilian, Italian, an expert in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, or Italian Jiu Jitsu experts are to be feared?????

And has he got a work permit.........

The choke hold was less painful than reading that. 

 

Yeah,

 

He seems right up his own ass! I wanted to puke. I bet he's great fun on a night out flexing and telling all about his martial arts skills!

 

He then puts it up on social media, what a pillock!

 

Also, we don't need him telling us what happens if you don't behave in Thailand, he is a foreigner the same as we are.

 

The thief wasn't a foreigner at all , but a Thai. so why the nonsensical rant about behaving when one comes to Thailand?

 

Tell the bloody natives because they didn't get the memo.

“The cops arrested him,took him to police station and the money stolen was returned. Sadly,I think the thief is free

 

I guess he gave them a wai said sorry and was on his way.

The publicity stunt seems to have worked !

Publicity stunt ?   I think you should keep your mouth shut when you don't know the truth. 

On Andrea's Facebook you will find all the pictures of the arrest and the police involvement .

 

 

 

 

Oh what a clever idea...making enemies and showing your face to everyone in LoS - is he going to choke-hold the crim's entire family and friends ?  Good luck Italian hero, you will need it.

The thief should have turned to a career in porn. Oh well. Hindsight is 20/20. 555.

What would you expect them to do, keep him in jail until the trial?
