Alyssa is Not Too Small for Karate

I was told I can’t when I started karate because I am so small. My friends said I should quit because only guys can do it and that I was too short.

But I proved them wrong.

I’m testing for my brown belt on dec. 19th 08 and after that is black so ha a girl can do karate.
