Children with epilepsy can engage in many forms of physical exercise. It really should be taken on a case by case basis, depending on the type and severity of epilepsy they have. So for any individual you would need to check with a doctor and inform the teacher.
According to the epilepsy website, there is only a 4% chance of epilepsy being passed to the child if only one of the parents have it. The odds are in your favor in that if he has a child it will not be epileptic.
It is ok. Just make sure that you are gentle and the patient is cooperative.
You can detect the epilepsy in a child , with her behavior . She may just stare into space and fall of to sleep. She will also complain of headache and eye pain as well.
Yes, a child can learn karate, at least the gross moves and kata. The application may not work for them until they are larger and stronger.

Epilepsy is caused by a wide range of things, coming in many forms. There are some genetic forms, but for the vast majority of people who have epilepsy there is no chance of passing it on to their children. Epilepsy is not contagious, so you cannot catch it from anyone.
There is no simple answer here, as epilepsy comes in different forms. The nature and cause of the child's epilepsy is what you need to consider here. If there is something that you know has been a trigger for an epileptic seizure and which the child could quite likely encounter when there, then you may need to be more careful. If not, there is no reason why not.
There are many causes of epilepsy and whether your friend's child has a higher risk of developing it depends on the history of the parent's seizure disorder. Did your friend have epilepsy since birth? Did his parents or siblings have seizures? If that is the case then the child may have a slightly higher chance of developing epilepsy. But if the seizures of the parent started as a result of a head injury, a severe illness like encephalitus or menengitus, or due to some other insult to the brain, the baby will have no higher chance of developing epilepsy than any other child. Even if the parent was born with epilepsy, there is still a high probability that the baby will be fine.
