When my daughter Sue was in second grade, she started to have very real behavior problems at school.  She is an extremely active child who is very bright, but she does not have a very intensive attention span.  At her teacher’s suggestion, we started Sue in martial arts training.  She took to it at once, and loves her twice weekly lessons.  We bought her sparring gear on the Web and she has fallen completely head over heels with the sparring.  The discipline and the exercise have really had a leveling effect on her high energy.  Her grades are much higher and she is so much happier.
