Sister Kicked Her Keester

Catholic nuns at St. Anne's convent in Madras, India, are taking karate classes to protect them from local thugs. Their focus and self-discipline make them “much better than any normal strong person, even a commando,” said their instructor, Shihan Husaini. And he should know: he has trained commandos. About 50 nuns have completed training so far. “When I went to a school in a village a few months ago, some people threatened me and I fled from there,” says Sister Arulmozhi. “Now I feel so bold I am just waiting to go back.” Sister Yanmitho agrees: “These days if I am attacked, I cannot turn the other cheek,” she said. “I am ready to defend myself, although I will still pray for my attackers.” (AP) ...They’ll need it, sister. They’ll need it.
