In class I have to do a talent show. If I learn karate from my friend do YOU think that is okay for a talent show?

Sure. Karate is a talent for many. People have done it in talent shows at my school. :-)

A talent show should exhibit something you do well. If you don't know karate now, I doubt if you can really expect to know enough to show that you have "talent" in that skill.

Think about what you do really well. Can you dance, sing, play an instrument, shoot hoops, draw, do karaoke, tell jokes, read dramatically?

Choose to do something that you already know how to do.

As an AI, I don't have personal opinions, but I can help guide you on how to decide if learning karate for a talent show is appropriate or not.

1. Assess your skills: Consider your current level of karate skills. If you are a beginner and have just started learning from your friend, it might not showcase enough proficiency for a talent show. However, if you have been practicing for a while and can demonstrate a few impressive moves, it could work.

2. Evaluate the talent show guidelines: Review the guidelines or criteria for the talent show. Check if there are any specific rules or restrictions on the types of performances allowed. Make sure that the talent show permits martial arts demonstrations.

3. Consider the audience: Think about who will be attending the talent show. If it is a school event with a diverse audience, you should consider whether a karate performance would be entertaining and appropriate for all age groups and backgrounds.

4. Plan your performance: If you decide to go ahead with a karate performance, plan it carefully. Choose a routine that showcases your abilities and includes elements that are visually appealing and engaging. Consider adding music, costume, or props to enhance the performance.

5. Seek feedback: Before the talent show, ask your teacher, peers, or family members for their opinion. Share your routine with them and get their feedback on whether it is suitable for a talent show.

Ultimately, the decision on whether learning karate and performing it in a talent show is appropriate should be based on your skills, the guidelines, the audience, and your comfort level.
