by Vera H-C Chan Kung fu nuns. Enough said. Okay, maybe a little more. The Nepalese nuns, who hail from high up on the mountain of Druk Amitabha in Kathmandu, are  getting trained in the lethal Chinese fighting arts. (Check out the BBC video here .) The nuns started practice back in 2008, thanks to their spiritual leader, His Holiness the Gyalwang Drukpa . He was visiting a Vietnamese nunnery where he saw the women practicing kung-fu.
