Attack LD with Martial Arts

Martial Arts Helps People with Learning Disabilities

Deb Fjeld’s article in Toolbox Parenting cites compelling reasons to involve children in Martial Arts. She includes physical, mental, social and emotional benefits, along with a brief neurological explanation pointing to Dr. Bruce Perry’s work with Pattern Repetition Stimulation. This therapy is helpful to children and adults recovering from brain trauma. I am very proud of Christian and Tianna my grandchildren advancing in their martial arts training.
