Healing arts

California -- It may have been in slow motion; it may have been just part of practice, but when Tammy first started taking kung fu, she cringed at every feigned kick and slow-moving fist.

"No matter how slowly we did them, I would hold my breath and close my eyes."

Eventually, however, she began to keep her eyes open, and the classes began to help her recover from a past of domestic abuse. Now, she's using her experience to give back to other abuse victims -- teaching them confidence and focus through martial arts.
