From what I know from flight attendants I talk to, during their self defence classes paid for by the airline, they are often taught to restrain someone from the seat behind the seat the person is sitting in.
It involves sitting foreward in the seat behind them, looping your arm across their neck, leaning their head up and back into the head rest and grabbing the headrest with your hand.
At least that is what my friend with british airlines was taught for restraining unruley or dangerous passangers until the plane could land at an airport with police avaliable.
So I would suggest she did fight how she was trained, she fought how she was trained to fight in the HIGHLY confined and HIGHLY awkward enviroment of the plain.
She also focused on using restraint and control which is what she would have been told to use unless otherwise needed at her airline SD classes, because it helps protect the airline from lawsuits. (again info curtesy of my friend who worked with BA)
Having been on planes, and talked to air stewards and stweardesses... fighting in an isle of a plane is very difficult, strikes need to be straight or high up swings, and kicking would be nigh on impossible except for a very limited range of kicks that do not have a body external raising arc.
(just my two cents)

She is fifty. =D Hell yea!!! You go lady! xD
Seriously that is impressive. Most of the fifty-year old women I know complain about back pain. =/ It's nice to know life doesn't have to break you after 40. xD
I don't know about TKD, or whether her strategy had much to do with this martial art. If it didn't, it makes it even more impressive in my eyes, since she was training TKD. =D

If the guy was that high on weed they could have restrained him with a pizza
Imagine if she starts flying on her friends plan who landed on the Hudson, they could double-team and land a plane anywhere she could jump out and fight against the evil stone-heads of the world

LOL..
I think you and WC had it right, if he was 'high' on marijuana then he wouldn't have put up much of a fight.. now that I think about it, I'm actually surprised he actually 'flipped out' at all.. unless he wasn't 'just' eating Mary Jane brownies.... but he could have had some 'cocaine powdered sugar' on them

Like the new age ninja's If they just train with Ashida Kim, they'll be able to do it while invisible, and no plane will be needed. LOL Rep for you.
That would be like saying the BJJ Black Belt KO'ed the guy!
LOL!

I guess it depends on the school...I know in my class (sort of a MMA I suppose since my sensei had trained with various other schools since reaching black belt, though his original style was Shotokan Karate), chokes weren't even taught until well into orange belt...usually 15 or so at the absolute earliest. The basic logic being there are some lethal techniques people who lack the maturity to use them responsibly (kids for example, or someone who's obviously in the class just to learn to "mess people up in bar fights", though he'd probably be booted out early on).

A plane wouldn't work well for that I don't think I'm 6'4, if I tried spinning around on a plane to kick someone I'd wind up thrashing around on the floor like an epileptic giraffe. The arts have all started to cross pollinate is what's happened...either this woman did cross training in a grappling art (which is damn smart) or her school is a self-defense, practical fighting school first and a TKD school second teaching a mixed bag.

Maybe
In my opinion, TKD is a nice art, I took it for 8 years. But, the dim reality is that its use of energy, power, and overall combat quality is not very benefitial in a fight. For example, any other TKD ppl out there no that in this art, you punch, bring back to position, then punch again. In other words, energy is re-charged every strike, losing time and effectiveness. In others, you use the same flow of power to deliver mulitple strikes and keep on hitting. TKD is much simpler. It is good to get a good base on martial arts, but there is no style and little intelligence in its application to real life combat. But nevertheless TKD is a very goood way to begin martial arts. Its techniques can be modified to the situation, so if you are a very talented TKD person, then yes, it would be quite effective in real life. So, in all, it is a relatively ineffective art, but with thurough practice, can be modified to good use.
Hope I Helped,
Matt

If that is what you think, you only think you took TKD for 8 years. Pretty much what you stated is the EXACT OPPOSITE of how TKD works in any situation (be it in sports, self defense or art) in both theory and practice.

where i learned this is how it worked: u kicked a font snap kick, and return to ready stance. then u kick again, and return. except in a few combos and techniques from other martial arts, it is RELATIVELY not smart force wise. im nopt saying it is 100% stupid in this sense, just that compared to other styles, tkd is not very good on how it uses energy. and plz, one tiny misunderstanding doesnt give u the tiniest rite to doubt my skills.i took it for 8 years and i no what i was taught. u have ur rite to think what u want of it but dont doubt me. it really pisses me off XP
