My daughter is taking her test for her karate black belt this afternoon :-) She’s been studying for six years. This type of thing is one of he reasons I wanted her to start karate.
One hopes that you (or a qualified instructor) is also teaching her to shoot. My wife and I don't have kids (wanted but couldn't), but had I a daughter, I would see that she had access to both.

Congratulations!! You must be so proud! That’s a lot of hard work and, as you know, is only the beginning. Blackbelt means you’ve learned the basics. She has the rest of her life to practice and refine her skills.
My daughter is working on her 2nd degree for September. We started her in karate for the same reasons you did and it turned out she loved it.
I like these threads because it brings out all the gun braggarts and big talking second-guessers who puff up their feathers tell us how much better THEY would’ve handled the situation. It must be hard on some egos to get showed up by a GIRL!
The woman is alive and unharmed thanks to her skills and diciplined mind. She used the correct amount of force to end the confrontation just like you are taught. Woulda, coulda, shoulda is just talk.
