Exotic Ways To Fight At Penn

Is finding new and unusual ways to spar the latest trend on campus?  In today's DP, we came across both Krav Maga lessons (a.k.a. Israeli hand-to-hand combat) at Hillel and MBA boxing matches.  (See the Krav Maga photo by our very own Alex Remnick at top right and on page 5 of the printed paper. A boxing pic from the DP is below it--we cropped out the loser, LOL. Tickets to the MBA gun show much?)

You may have missed the boat on the first two, but three makes a trend.  And the third Penn-approved eccentric way to confront your enemies is... kyudo, the archery technique practiced by Samurai warriors.  In celebration of Japanese culture and the arrival of the cherry blossoms, there will be a kyudo demonstration at Penn's Morris Arboretum this weekend (see bottom picture).

And there you have it: three offbeat ways to defy your Pennemies.  Hey Amy Gutmann, are you trying to prepare Penn students for global warfare? As a political scientist, do you know something we don't?
