Questions About Karate Training For Autistic Kids

I get questions all the time about how my training with Autistic children is different from children that do not fall on the spectrum, and my answer is almost always the same.


Children behave differently whether they fall on the spectrum or not.  The most important thing is to focus on the needs of the child, learn what their strengths and weaknesses are and then develop a training plan that fits their goals.


No two kids are alike.  They typically have unique characters, which is what we love about them.


And while most kids are different, I find most parents are looking for the same things the martial arts has to offer:

Focus, discipline, honor, integrity, respect, 

confidence, perseverance, courage and self defense

What I want parents to know, is that when I work with your child, I want them to understand I care about them and want to help them succeed.

It doesn't matter to me if they fall on the spectrum or not.

This is what I believe in and use as a guide every day that I teach!
