Kate Middleton learns self-defense
ByAccording to this article, her Royal Highness Kate Middleton learned self-defense during an intensive personal protection program, courtesy of the SAS. The article goes on to say that many royals and politicians go through this course to learn some practical self-defense techniques in case they ever get kidnapped or anything similar happens. The article seems to imply that the course teaches more than just physical techniques and has a lot of tactical and mental training components.
I sure as hell hope so because if she has to rely on her physical strength to save her own life, she’s screwed. Let’s just say her physique isn’t all that athletic…
If you look at those matchstick legs and thin arms, I really doubt she’ll be able to generate enough power to hurt a kidnapper who has the skill and experience to go after one of the highest profile targets in the world right now. Would they have mentioned anything about eating more and lifting weights in that course? I kind of doubt it…

Well, we could stick her in a leather catsuit and see if she can do a decent imitation of Mrs Peel from The Avengers.
The high heels …
Well, there is a component of self-defense strategy that involves running away. I hope that she can run really, really fast…
As a service to U.S-British relations I am willing to be Kate’s personal body guard. Of course, this means I must accompany her to the beach, shower, when she’s dressing, etc.
Yes, I’m a true patriot.
Now I just need to figure out how to explain this to my wife…
Taking one for the team Bob, it’s so noble of you! ;-)
