Thousands of Iranian women are forming a ninja army

Watch out, Uma Thurman: There's a new army of female martial-arts masters.

More than 3,500 Iranian women are dusting off their throwing stars and training to become ninjas, in what is being described by \"The Atlantic\" as a \"means of empowerment, organization and of asserting self-worth.\" One commenter to \"The Atlantic\" article notes: \"When Iran's next revolution comes, the men in that country won't know what hit them...a roundhouse kick to their collective heads.\"

Should Iran's male faction fear this collective of women warriors?
