The nuns began studying the martial arts as a form of exercise. Several of them workout regularly. Though they would never use the arts to hurt someone, a number of them have become quite good. Sister Mary, who is just over five feet tall, is the most serious.

I wonder if she trains with NUNchucks?
Thanks for the timely chuckle! Somehow I find the concept of a group of warrior-nuns prowling the streets rather appealing. Let's have more of this.

They remind me of the nuns that beat the hell out of me and my classmates fourty five years ago. They used yardsticks then.
