A Chance Encounter

Portland -- When Keith Turpin enrolled in the first grade last fall, things didn't go too well. The seven-year-old has been diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyper Deficiency (ADHD). He was on medication and he was bringing home Ds and Fs.

Then she had a chance encounter with Clay Christal, who was in the process of converting a former store into a martial arts studio.

"One day we started talking about his school and what it could do for my son." she said. "So I enrolled him."

The effects have been positive.

"Since Clay started working with him, Keith has brought home As and Bs and some Cs," his mother said. "He has gone from taking 10 milligrams of his medication daily to five milligrams on weekends."
