Today I wanted to explore some of the martial arts programs she offers and how they can be of benefit to special needs children in particular and all children in general.  I have a daughter with special needs and can relate to their issues.

So If you have a child with ADD, ADHD, Autism, dyslexia, or other challenge let's learn how traditional Karate can help them.  Even if your child has none of these challenges it is still good to find out how the martial arts can help them.

National News - Television and movie mogul Tyler Perry, of Madea fame, has pledged $1 million dollars to help with Hurricane Harvey victims displaced and challenged by the brutal storm. He is very concerned about his donations getting into the right places and hands of people with "boots on the ground" according to Perry.

He is presently concerned about this because he alluded to giving a lot of money to Hurricane Katrina efforts but suggested some of his money wasn't utilized in the ways he had intended. He wants to make sure his money this time is going into the right hands.
