I'm going to go off topic for a bit:
I understand what you're saying ((Gus1234U)). My oldest is a brown belt in karate. When she moved to a different school for grade 7 and 8 - on a few different occasions, she was challenged to physical fights. Girls seem to be into physical fighting more these days. I think they were testing the waters, because there's this heirarchy with girls. Normally if the girls not strong, she would back away and cower but she didn't. Naturally she was prepared to take care of herself, but warned them 1st that she was trained in karate. As soon as she showed the girl, she was ready, the girl ran away. She also had to use her skill last week, because a boy in her class randomly tried to slap her face - she dodged it and pushed him over a desk.
I agree, sometimes it's more effective to give a swift punch to the nose. My 9 yr old who involved in this thread isn't trained and the girls older sibling is bigger unfortunately. I'm hoping she'll have a good day and all concerned will just forget about it.
