Also from the Telegraph:
A troop of performing monkeys instructed in the martial art of taekwondo has taken revenge on their trainer.
Lo Wung, 42, taught the monkeys so they could entertain crowds outside a shopping centre in Nshi, in eastern China’s Hubei province.
But the money-spinning primates turned the tables on their trainer when he slipped during a show, with one quick-thinking monkey flooring him with a kick to the head.
Hu Luang, 32, a bystander who photographed the incident, said: “I saw one punch him in the eye – he grabbed another by the ear and it responded by grabbing his nose. They were leaping and jumping all over the place. It was better than a Bruce Lee film.”

“Enter the Monkey” – coming soon to a theatre near you.
Tae Kwon Do? Ludicrous. That technique is clearly Shaolin Wushu.
Stupid British journalist…
I think the attack serves Lo Wung right for messing around in that sort of monkey business, but his faux pas is just another slip-up in a long list of Taekwondon’ts!

You’re likely to get an arse-kicking if you attempt to enter any of those monkeys…
Just when I thought the nightmare of “Kung-Fu Panda” was over…
Not sure why the giant penis on the roof made the Marmot laugh so hard but these Taekwondo monkeys nearly killed me. I wish I had been there to watch!
#1 – that’s the funniest thing I’ve read in a while.
