The Taekwondo black belt and women's rights campaigner started SheFighter -- the first women's only martial arts centre in Jordan -- in response to the high rates of domestic violence in the country.

She began by teaching some friends in her parent's basement, but after two years news of the classes has spread so widely that Khalifeh decided to open the studio to meet the high demand.

In a tweet, Khalifeh is quoted as saying, "It is such an honor to meet and talk to Emma Watson -- an amazing actress and feminist activist and was honored as well to train her!"

So how did Watson fare?
