Worst Karen I've ever seen cost the blow up for the ages because I wouldn't give her son a black belt on his first day of karate.

First up some background. I teach Kempo karate as a second degree black belt. I also have an assistant,

Kira, a first degree black belt in her own right. I don't own the gym, my instructor does, but since he's gotten older,

me and Kira handle the

younger classes while he handles the business side of things plus adult class. We have three

classes. A kid's class of ages 5 to 10, an intermediate class, 11 to 15, and an adult class,

age 16 and up. So on to the story. The kids class has just ended and a woman walks in with her son.

She says her 13 year old son wants to take karate lessons. So I shake hands with her and have her

sit down with my instructor to fill out the waivers and get him his G measurements. Other students

file in for the intermediate class and me and Kira get down to business. I take the bulk of the class

around 15 kids while Kira goes with a business. I take the bulk of the class around 15 kids,

while Kira goes with a new student one-on-one to teach him basic strikes and stances.

Not five minutes later, I hear Kira upset telling the new boy to do 10 push-ups. Why?

Well, he called Kira, who's essentially a volunteer, a freaking female dog. Karen, the mother,

stands up and says her son can't do push-ups, as she doesn't want her son to be sore.

Kira lets him do the push-ups on his knees, but not five minutes later, she makes him do 20 more,

since he's now called her a S-word. What? For reference, Kira is in her early 20s and the boy is 13.

Not to mention there's other parents and kids here as well. It's wholly inappropriate.

So I walk over and ask Kira to switch with me. As she does, she gives me the bug eyes and mouths.

What the frick? So I walk over and ask the boy why he insulted my assistant Kira.

He said he doesn't like girls. When I asked him what he meant, he said he only listens to his

dad or other boys. He won't listen to me at all. He needs some discipline, the mother confirms
