Iranian Female Ninjas: Iran Trains Women in Ninjutsu Practice

I know. The title of this article sounds silly, but it appears one of the way Iran is preparing to go to the inevitable war with Israel and the west is by training women to become Ninja.

The UK Telegraph reports of Iran's Ninja training program:


Scores of black-clad female "ninja" fighters whose ages range from 5 to 56 are just a handful of 3,000 women in Iran who are being trained as lethal warriors at a school in Tehran.

"We train women to have strength and ability. We have to do everything in our power to protect our homeland," said Akbar Faraji, who runs the school.

One of the fighters who has been training for over 13 years said, "Our aim is for Iranian women to be strengthened and if a problem arises, we will definitely declare our readiness to defend our Islamic homeland."
