Can the Martial Arts Help Children with ADD/ADHD? True, diagnosed ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) and ADHD (Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder) are real and serious challenges for many people - children and adults. Although in recent years many considerations have been made by academic schools, the fact remains that upon graduation, your children will have to live in the real world. Their boss will have little concern for thier hardship. When they’re fidgeting and unfocused in the board meeting, the boss may simply think this employee is weird and unprofessional and might fire them; denying them a paycheck and dignity in life. Having put that forward, these individuals have a very real, physical, neurological challenge. This person may not be able to change their physiology, but they can learn how to alter the outward manifestations of their challenges. Additionally, they can actually increase their attention span and ability to control their body. Martial Arts training is specifically beneficial to this unique group of people. Through structured classes, emphasizing body control and attention to detail, in a non-threatening and encouraging atmosphere, students soar to levels never before realized. |
