Meet Iran’s female ‘warrior ninjas’

These Iranian female “warrior ninjas” are training to become a lethal fighting force.

Headscarf-wearing women can be seen in a raft of gravity-defying poses as they train for battle.

At a club based 25 miles out of Tehran 4,000 ladies train to become kunoichi, a modern term for a female ninja.

The women learn to kill silently, leap over walls, and hide on the mountain side at the Jughin Castle.

The club has been open since 1989.

Pupils at the school are taught to use weapons – including the bow and arrow, swords, nunchucks, and shurikens, which are small traditional Japanese implements known as “swords in the hand.”

We're reinventing how we tell stories, and finding new stories yet to be told.

There's at least two sides to every story.
