This 7-Year-Old Could Beat the Crap Out Of You

by Michelle Regalado

If I ever have to get in a fight, I want this little kid, Mahiro, on my side. The 7-year-old has somehow already managed to earn a black belt in Kankui Dai karate. That’s right, a black belt. So basically, she can take all of us grown-ups down.

Mahiro, seen showing off some impressive moves in the video below, may look pretty sweet and adorable at first glance…and OK, she definitely is both of those things. But don’t let her cute face fool you! She is also a master of destruction and pain, not to mention, a total badass.

I admit I don’t know much about karate — I dropped out after like two weeks when I was a kid and sadly, the few things I did learn did not stick. Still, I do know it takes a lot of discipline and I can’t help but be taken aback by the level of precision and focus she shows in her practice at such a young age. I obviously didn’t have that focus when I tried it at the age of nine or 10 and I definitely didn’t have it when I was seven. In fact, when I stop to think about it, I’m not even 100 percent sure that I properly know how to throw a punch now, at the age of 24.

Either way, I wouldn’t want to mess with Mahiro! Check out her moves below.
