He Can Kick And Jump

Pennsylvania -- A year ago, he couldn't climb stairs without the help of another person, according to newage-examiner.com.

The boy, who was born two months premature, walked on his toes, had little control over the movement of his legs was and was always exhausted. A doctor indicated that Colin may have cerebral palsy.

Now, 6-year-old Colin Schake can kick and jump - and climb stairs without help from another person - thanks to a year of exercise and therapy at a martial arts institute in Tunkhannock.

And Colin's mother is grateful that her son now has self-confidence and a belief that he can succeed at anything."

She said that the school owner told her point blank that in a year her son would be doing better. "Kevin Robinson said he could help and he was the first person that said he could help me," the mother said.

Robinson, who also works as a nurse, noted that other people who have cerebral palsy and other physical challenges like it, participate in martial arts and do well."It's all about helping them focus," he said.
