Children with learning and attention issues can have difficulty finding a sport or physical activity that suits them. Sometimes, they may lack the social or physical skills to take part in a team sport or may not have the coordination for activities such as skating or dance.

In such cases, martial arts can be an excellent option. Originally developed for self-defense, martial arts offers a great way to build physical and mental strength.  There are several forms of martial arts such as karate, tae kwon do, judo and jiu-jitsu. Use of deliberate and repetitive motion emphasizes the connection between mind and body. Martial arts can also improve kids' self-control, attention and other executive functioning skills.
