Deaf Karate Black Belt

UK -- Alistair Anderson has become the first deaf karate black belt from Harrogate, following six years of commitment and hard work, according to harrogateadvertiser.net.

Something which makes this achievement even more outstanding is the fact that Alistair has learning difficulties and suffers from a condition termed dyspraxic tendencies - affecting the ability to co-ordinate movements.

His parents says the martial arts training has helped their son with his confidence, his co-ordination and his memory in ways they didn't think possible.

Our congratulations goes to you, Alistair - as well as your instructors! To me, this is a major part of what these arts are all about.
