77 Year-Old Japanese Beats Up Italian Soldiers
Keiko Wakabayshi, also known as the “Samurai Granny” was hired by the Italian army to teach new soldiers hand to hand combat techniques. But if you think that she is only teaching the methods rather than putting them into practice, think again.
The 77 year old grandmother wipes the floor with her recruits, beating them up on a daily basis with the hopes that they will one day be able to learn the techniques themselves.
Since sparring is the best way to learn how to put martial arts into practice, Keiko is “forced” to take down her students one by one until they have learned to counter her attacks and master her techniques.
Not many soldiers believed that any Japanese women were going to be able to beat up the entire Italian army, let alone one a grandmother in her late 70’s, but their doubt was quickly turned into humiliation as their faces were thrown against the floor.

I tried jujitsu for a month when I was 18 and they had more or less the same philosophy about learning through sparring and actually that’s why I stopped after only a month. I got pared with girl who was much better than me and she beat me every time and forced me to tap out. To make it worse she wasn’t just a girl but also much smaller than me and really hot. My ego just coodn’t take being bested by an opponent like that.
