This video is definitely worth a look. It features a feisty lion and a martial arts expert intent on highlighting the similarities between her martial art and the form and posture of the lion.
The lion appears to be in a playful mood. She's seemingly doing the breaststroke and generally pissing about when the lion playfully tackles her and knocks her to the ground. Her martial art is apparently of no use whatsoever, particularly when one of the handlers demonstrates that the only thing required to deter the lion is a swift kick in the head, a yank on its chain and a firm "No". She admits afterwards that she neither saw, heard or felt the lion leaping toward her, all 400 pounds of it! She's obviously not happy and struggles for breath with, what we later find out, four broken ribs.
The best bit occurs as she's slowly getting herself together to stand up, when the lion decides he's not had enough and piles in a for a second go. Good work!
