or: for me no. My dd is in Karate, 8yr old (we live in Manhattan) but I still wouldn't allow it. I guess I'm this way because I'm a dd of a NYC COP and I've seen, heard and know too many things that can go wrong. I've also been attacked by a man who overpowered me very easily no matter what training I've had or street smarts. Shit happens and I'm glad I was an adult when it happened to me not a 9yr old [ Reply | More ]
