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."

I'm kinda surprised they didn't try for a Monkey style kung fu pun in there :)

So...  A man got into a taekwondo match with a bunch of trained monkeys?

Too bad nobody got any of it on video...

You train wild, pound for pound stronger then human monkeys in advanced hand to hand combat?


WHAT DID YOU EXPECT!?

Guy's lucky the monkeys chose to show mercy. The one booting him in the head looks like a macaque, & those little dudes are more than strong enough to pull your arm out of its socket & beat you to death with it.

Also, nice form, monkey! Plenty of humans never manage to get that trailing foot up when they're throwing a flying side kick.
