Matua Ngarino had a knife pulled on him in Avondale’s Riversdale Park after confronting a group of boys who he believed had attacked a 12-year-old a few days prior.
The attack had sent the boy, who had been at the park with Ngarino’s sons, to Starship Hospital and made his own sons afraid of going outside, Ngarino said.
“The boys surrounded me, and one pulled a knife. I gave him the opportunity to walk away before they all got hurt.
“With my background in wing chung kung fu I was ready for the unexpected. I warned them a second time to walk away from the situation, they hesitated at first, but they came to their senses and walked away.”
Back in 1989, Ngarino said he had trained in wing chung kung fu in Christchurch, and while he had taught his children to walk away from confrontation, said he knew how to defend himself.
Wing chung kung fu is a form of self-defence requiring quick arm movements and strong kicks to defeat opponents.
While at the park Ngarino took photographs of the boys he believed were involved and sent them to police.

Ross’ retirement saw the beginning of his musical journey where his passion quickly evolved from making music, to crafting guitars. It all started when Ross and some mates joined a music group where the camaraderie and togetherness were just as important as the music.
Living in a Ryman village, Ross can continue living life to the full in his retirement because they are places where you don’t retire from life, you find a new way to live .

But in stark contrast, several plots of land worth hundreds of millions of dollars have sat as car parks since buildings were knocked down in the 1980s.
The Elliott St car park sits on a 4417 square metre plot of land, valued at $82.5 million.
The land has sat undeveloped as a car park - where an hour will cost you $19 - since the Royal International Hotel was demolished in 1987.
It was purchased by Singapore company NDG Asia Pacific (NZ) Limited for $53m in 2012, and in 2017 the company was given approval by the Overseas Investment Office to build and operate a 52-storey, five- star Ritz-Carlton Hotel, with 300 guest rooms, four floors for hotel facilities, six for retail and five for car parking.
The development is expected to cost $350m, with the start of construction dependent on the completion of City Rail Link. However, the resource consent for the tower is due to expire in October.

Singers, vocal groups, instrumentalists, bands and dancers can take the stage for Auckland Council's secondary school contest for talent across the city.
Young performers have until June 13 to register for Stand Up Stand Out 2021, also known as SUSO.
Councillor Alf Filipaina, chair of the parks, arts, community and events committee, said SUSO provided a creative outlet for young people.
“Our future musicians get the chance to interact and rub shoulders from leaders in the music industry," Filipaina said.
“Watching these talented youngsters step up onto a stage and perform in front of an audience is a real thrill.”
More than 1300 up and coming artists from more than 50 schools have competed in the event.
These include students from Kaipara College in nor-west Auckland.
Heats kick off in August across three hubs- the Ōtara Music Arts Centre, Glen Innes’ Te Oro and the Roskill Youth Zone.
Semifinals will be held at Māngere Arts Centre, Ngā Tohu o Uenuku, on September 4 with the final held for the first time at Auckland's Town Hall on September 25.
