Is America ready for Iran’s army of lady ninjas?
Some 3,500 women in Iran have registered as official ninjas-in-training, according to a recent video report by state-run Press TV. In the more than six-minute video, filmed at the Iran Ninjutsu Club in the “heart of Iran,” the female warriors are shown practicing stances of attack, stealth methods, defensive gymnastics, wielding bows and swords, and making a whole lot of “huaaaah” noises.

Well, my 12-year old is a purple belt. Does that help?

Not worried. We’ve got Chuck Norris.

Throw a big bag of shoes in front of them before they attack, be sure its marked ‘SALE’.
Battle’s over before it begins.

I wonder how they stand up to JHP’s?

Awww, beat me to it..
Chip on February 6, 2012 at 6:27 PM
Yes yes yes but do they have a TV show to see which ones get to attack? Without that it just smacks of 1970s Kung Fu movies.

You only think we have Chuck Norris. The reality is that Chuck Norris has all of us.

He’ll keep ‘em busy making sammiches, or is that someone else?
Fallon on February 6, 2012 at 6:35 PM
The reason they are so stealthy is because you can’t tell they have their ninja clothes on under those burkhas!

If these chicks aren’t enough to take down a few pansies that repress them for a few thou years, then I don’t think we’ve got shiite to worry about….
ted c on February 6, 2012 at 6:57 PM
Is that what they are calling suicide bombers these days?

Huge Arab Musselman – scimitar/fancy moves
Indiana Jones – .44 Webley/eye-roll and smirk
Some assembly required
Rixon on February 6, 2012 at 7:05 PM
I keep picturing the Indiana Jones sequence with the big mofo with the swords. “Bang”

Bring it girls cause our women Marines and Soldiers would just love to show you some whoop ass and BTW no Ninja beat a high velocity 5.56mm round let alone a 7.62mm one. Wouldn’t be a fair fight but still would like to see it happen.
major dad on February 6, 2012 at 7:30 PM
these chicks are awesome..i fully support these ninjas

Easy solution: bring along live mice in little cages. When they show up, release a couple in plain sight. All the ‘ninjas’ will drop their weapons and scramble for the nearest chair/table/etc. And while they’re standing up there screaming like a cheerleader at a B-grade horror flick, our soldiers can use them for target practice. The words “Marinas Turkey Shoot” come to mind.
