When you read this inspirational story - just make sure you pretend you didn't see the "second dan black belt in four years" stupidity.
Apart from that, this is a great read - showing how karate (or most other martial arts for that matter), can greatly improve a childs motor skills.
Story:
For a Vienna Township family, martial arts go much further than entertainment. In fact, the discipline is credited with physical improvements in what had been a very ill child.
Nine-year-old Daniel Griffin dons his black karate uniform and makes his way to karate class several times a week. He begins the day with stretches and exercises before practicing moves associated with his kata in his course of training.
Both his parents remember a time before martial arts practice - a time when they did not expect their only child to survive.
