3-Year-Old Karate Kid Knows What She Believes

A viral video shows a three-year-old white belt karate student in the dojo, rigorously reciting the student creed with her instructor. "So little in size, so vast in awesomeness," comments tech blog BoingBoing. Her poise, attentiveness, and careful imitation of her teacher are forming her into a mighty little warrior!
