(CNN) This wasn't the first time 11-year-old Braydon Smith's home was broken into.
But this time around, he was prepared.
Braydon single-handedly defeated a suspected home intruder last week after hitting the 19-year-old trespasser on the head with a machete that was hanging on his wall.
"It went by really fast and I knew that I didn't have any time to think about what I was going to do," he told CNN affiliate WTVD.
