A former world champion kick-boxer is training his dog in the martial art.

Russ Williams says 15-month-old Ringo Tsar can deliver a knock out punch with his paws.

He's been training Ringo, a Russian terrier, at their home at Caerwys, north Wales.

Mr Williams, who runs his own kick-boxing school, told the Daily Post: "I started thinking that he will grow into a large strong intelligent dog.

"So why teach him, as most dog handlers do, to bite? I decided to teach him to jump up on command and kick with his two front legs.

"I have been training him for weeks now and he will jump and kick on command to either punch bags or someone holding a kick pad."

Russian black terriers, also known as Russkiy Tchiorny Terriers, were specially bred in the former USSR and originally used for riot control.

It is trying to hump his leg?

thats cool, i would like to have a dog that knew kick boxing. i think it would be so cool to have a dog to practice karate and stuff wit

Why would you teach your dog to kick when it has a fine set of teeth, I think a dog that has the ability to rip you apart is more threatening than one that has studied Martial Arts?

Maybe the dog is retarded and doesn't know how to bite, but really likes to hump people's legs. But the owner feels stupid because he spent a lot of money on a really dumb dog, so he just tells people that they aren't being humped, but kickboxed. That's what I'd do if I bought a lame humping dog that couldn't figure out how to bite people.

The dogs bite is worse than a dog hump- erm I mean kick boxing. I'm sorry but what as waste of time! I can think of better things to train any dog to do if I had one.

I want a army of kickboxing mice that would be sick. Or is not kcik boxing kangaroos (if they cant already).

Theres a monkey who's a blackbelt in karate. Acctually it's a chimp.

well, i think that guy had waaaay to many knocks to the head during his career
