In a world where children are diagnosed with ADHD at a near-alarming rate, a martial art such as Judo can help burn off some of that excess energy.  Because almost all of the muscles in the body are activated, exercise is a valuable aspect of Judo.  Martial artists who train in Judo are known to be exceptionally strong, to have fast reflexes, to have focused thinking, and to be experts in balance – balance both mentally and physically.  In terms of these forms of balance, Judo is HIGHLY transferrable to other sports.  The football player becomes more agile, the basketball player becomes faster, the baseball player is stronger and more focused, the wrestler is more refined, the track-runner has more endurance, the swimmer has more upper body strength… and the list goes on and on and on.  If you want your child to excel in sports, Judo is a fantastic base for just about any other sport, hands down, no argument or debate – it just is.
