Can I do karate if...?

[TheInternet]

I'm a 17 year old girl who's really clumsy, not in the best physical shape (could lose ten pounds), and has never done any organized sports?

I am very uncoordinated. people never believe it but I cannot get my body to move in synch. I have severe asthma, can't run a mile, and I am a 2nd degree black belt. I am 19 also female and have done karate for 11 years. I love it. You don't really need any organized sports experience because karate is almost entirely individual.

 

[Karateka]

Yup.

Oh yes - it's a lot of fun. You don't have to be a world champion. The instructor will take clumsy girls, I bet.

Yes you can.
