Karate Nuns



A great, unexpected combination - nuns who do karate! I can just imagine their charitable kindness backed up with a spinning back fist if they need to…

Were they inspired by the Shaolin monks? Who knows, you might not want to mess with them.

Just one correction is needed: The martial art the nun is performing is not “Karate”, but “Tae Kwon Do”.
