New York -- "It was instantaneous and amazing," John Belcastro's mother said in response to how her son was hooked on karate the moment he was introduced to the art.
The 7-year-old Long Island boy suffers from autism and he has been doing karate - one-on-one lessons at Calla Karate in West Brighton for 14 months.
A Willowbrook psychologist who has referred several patients to Calla, said the practice has become more common. It (martial arts) has been informally used with children with autism and ADHD for the last few decades.
