Samurai Granny : Italian Soldiers Floored by 77-year-old Japanese Woman



It’s official (well, in the news anyway), Japanese women are hard, and give new emphasis to girl-power.

Italian soldiers are facing the embarrassment of being beaten up daily by a 77-year-old Japanese grandmother.

Keiko-Wakabayshi

Martial arts expert Keiko Wakabayshi, nicknamed the “Samurai Granny“, has been hired by the country’s military to train recruits in hand-to-hand combat.

Miss Wakabayshi, who stands exactly 5ft tall, looks tiny compared to her charges who are mostly over 6ft.

But the pensioner is a trained master in an array of martial arts disciplines including jujitsu, jojitso, kenjitso, judo, kendo and karate.
