Our Motto: Education, Energy, Empowerment
Each year in the United States alone approximately 10,400 children under the age of 15 are diagnosed with cancer. Martial Arts Therapy programs offer children with cancer a chance to learn to use their inner powers and abilities whereby they become heroes to themselves and us, and gain a chance to play, laugh, make friends, and enjoy life.
Students are taught pain management, physical rehabilitation skills, and deep relaxation techniques. An eclectic approach is used, combining several forms of martial arts, modern medicine, religion, and psychology.
Martial Arts Therapy for children fighting cancer is a virtual combat practice that offers the power of martial arts to even the frailest child. Our non-contact method enables instructors to initiate kid involvement in a most gentle way, using fluid movements and steps. The Martial Arts Therapy has been recognized by doctors as a form of complimentary medicine, providing a vast spectrum of benefits.
We show students they are not alone fighting their disease but they are now part of congregation of people who share the same goals and will assist them so they can all fight as a unit. By doing that we give children power in a playful and very effective way to stand up for themselves and combat their illness.
Please browse through our site and find out about us, our program, ways to get involved, and statements from doctors, instructors, and our students and their families.
