Don't mess with this sisterhood.<br /><br />A group of Buddhist nuns in the Indian Himalayas were encouraged to learn Kung Fu nearly 10 years ago by the leader of their 1,000-year-old sect. They're now passing on these skills during a five-day workshop, with grueling 15-hour days, to help women protect themselves from attack. The nuns train the women both on defensive and offensive tactics. <br /><br />Although Buddhist nuns are not traditionally permitted to exercise, these nuns shake off the stereotype — and pass on their skills to other women.
