In Portuguese: Você me pegou de surpresa. Literally you caught me by surprise. Now I can also say "off guard". Thank you coach!! You're the man!!

This morning, my four-year-old daughter on the bus tapped a stranger and said ‘There is a seat you can take.’ That’s caught me and the stranger off guard, but also a little bit warm.We all laughed and thanked for her friendly tips. By the way, this expression in Chinese is:猝不及防（cu bu ji fang）thanks，coach shane^ ^

My sentence using this expression:
"The policeman wasn't careful and the thieves caught him off guard! They robbed his gun"
Is my sentence correct?

[Siloglie]

"CATCH OFF BALANCE"..is it similar to CATCH OFF GUARD

On 03/19/2016 a bad guy caught me off guard and knocked me out. Since then I started to learn martial art online with Sensei Ando on SenseiAndo.com. I should have done this before!!
