Sorry, a seven year old blackbelt just isn’t intimidating.

a seven year old blackbelt just isn’t intimidating. How about an 18 year old blackbelt, who has been one since age 7?

No, the idea is that by the time she’s a teenager, she’ll be well capable of defending herself.

Agreed. Every dojo I’ve ever taught at had a no juvenile black belt policy. Acrobatic nonsense seems to permeate the schools who regularly promote kids to black belt. However, it does seem to win open tournaments. Real martial arts with history and foundation seem to be sneered at by the back flipping crowd.
