Hyperactivity and Martial Arts

Florida -- When 34-year-old Chad Houvouras was a child, he struggled with hyperactivity, according to seminolechronicle.com.

However, what another might be using as an excuse in life, this elementary school special education teacher turned into a passion to help others.

The Apopka dad started studying Kung Fu in Gainesville. "I have dealt with hyperactivity my entire life, and I found martial arts were a great outlet for my energy," he said. "It helped me to focus and stay calm. Now I study Kung Fu, Yoga and Tai Chi."

Houvouras is also a certified behavioral analyst and provides home therapy to children and their families.
