Martial Arts As Therapy for ADD/ADHD
I found this as a “related post” on Facebook during a discussion about ADHD meds, diagnoses, etc. Having studied taekwondo all the way through dental school (and I wasn’t diagnosed as ADD until 7 years after graduating), and having now studied Shaolin Kung Fu at Peaceful Dragon here in Charlotte, NC for the last 2 years, my personal experience is that this is indeed a beneficial activity. I think it’s really cool that the University of Michigan is actually undertaking a study to see if the effect is real or placebo.
