So, It's Come To This...

As a long-time hand-to-hand combat instructor, I can sympathize with the poor blokes who will be on the receiving end of this training. Women can be exponentially more brutal than men when they let themselves go with decent martial training... especially if they are fighting for a deeply felt cause.

[[ NURSES are to be trained in close combat skills as part of Britain's first zero tolerance campaign against violent patients.

"We are the first authority to implement a strategy that will 'yellow card' offenders and, in if need be, 'red card' them. It will include training for staff in high-risk conflict management. Physical self-defence will be part of it." - Jim Cameron, Glasgow Acute Hospitals. ]]

See? Everything is like a soccer game to them! Gotta love the spirit, though...
