    Wow.

    I have a lot of martial arts training, but they never showed me the Pinky-nose-sweep.

    Those first two comments are really, really funny. Thanks. I’m ROFLing…

    It looks like a protest but it’s snot. Or was the cop just “going green” to save the Earth?

    I guess if you can’t thumb your nose at authority in a place like the PRC….

    My question is this: Is the little dude with the Sluggo hat stiff-arming the cop into the hand?

    You guys beat me to the punch….line.

    Jiu Jitsu is a Japanese sport that is used in the Octagon by MMA Fighters when they go to the mats. It is an effective and potentially lethal form of martial art, but this Kung Fu nose fighting might be a whole new discipline. The ref will need to be looking up the nose for blockage before each match, fighters shouldn’t be allowed to use unfair advantage. The cop looks like he is ready to tap out.
