Uploaded by the Mildura Martial Arts school in Victoria, this extraordinary footage unfolds in the heart of the Australian outback. A man, whose Brazilian Ju Jitsu skills were put to the test, leaps into action when his dog faces a watery threat from a massive, 7-foot kangaroo.

Captioned with humour, “martial arts are for everyone, even kangaroos,” the video paints an adrenaline-pumping picture. The kangaroo menacingly holds the dog just above the water, and our fearless protagonist boldly intervenes. With a few choice words, he courageously confronts the roo, making it clear who’s the boss in this bush brawl.
