Jannine Ramirez in California returned home to the apartment she shares with her mother, and found a guy in the bathroom. He had no business in her bathroom.
So, she kicked him out of the bathroom and kept kicking him until he was out of the apartment.
Now, I can promise this to you: A yellow belt in any martial art does not have the martial skills to kick an intruder out of an apartment, even if he is 10 years old. But Jannine Ramirez had it in her heart to kick an intruder from her apartment.
The lesson is simple: Tools and skills are useless if you refuse to use them. And if you have the desire and intent to accomplish a goal, skills and tools are not as important as the determination to succeed.
This is an important trait for anyone who is considering a place in the Citadel.
Good on her. Here's the story.

It doesn't take a whole lot to defeat your average scumbag, determination really is more than half the battle. Faced up against someone with wit and will they will generally fall. Add some skills in there and you will wipe the floor with them.
