A bit of a dramatic headline but since you are here would like your input. Especially if you are a martial artist or trainer.
My daughter has been in Kung Fu, Striking, Grappling, and Weapons Sparring/Training for almost 4 years. It has been great for her and she does well, but it has greatly skewed her concept of realty. Since she is tall and strong for her age she attends the adult classes were she does fairly well against people 4+ years older than her.
This has created somewhat of an ego and skewed view of her capabilities in a real World situation. I like her confidence and her feeling capable but it has crossed the line into a false sense of security.
I would like to bring her back down to Earth without squashing her confidence and eagerness to train.
Any thoughts?
