Teaching Karate IS for Girls!

Karate IS for Girls!

Megan is excited for her first day of karate class. She enjoys everything about her karate classes, except for Brian, a boy in her class. He tells her that girls shouldn't do karate. When it comes time for them to take their first forms, Megan remembers all the moves and does well. Brian doesn't remember the moves and needs to be helped by the teacher. Brian then admits that maybe girls can do karate.
