I'm writing a story about a girl who is highly skilled at karate. I therefore want to know what she will know and how she is likely to behave. She's seventeen years old and has been learning her entire life - how good is she likely to be? What values are involved? Is there some sort of daily...

Hi, so lately I have been dreading to go to karate.
My mom is forcing me to go to classes for self defense.
I'm a purple belt now and I really want to do something music-involved like piano classes or something.
I took a month hiatus and now my Shihan keeps calling me and texting me. I really...
