There are so many different aspect of taking up a martial art that will be hugely beneficial to a young kid or teen. Self-defence being one of them of course but it goes way past that. They learn how to focus, be part of a team, compete and it's very good exercise. They also have good male role models. I think a lot of the kids being labeled ADHD should drop the ritalyn and join a karate club instead.
