Karate Helps Attention Deficit Disorder
Staying on task for the hyperactive person (ADHD) and paying attention for the inattentive person (ADD) is a challenge.
Aerobic exercise with complex movements in a rigid schedule is the most important intervention according to Dr. Gary Johnson of the C.A.L.M clinic and Dr. Ratey in Spark.

Learning a new kata (karate form) is hard but I learned to be patient about things.
