HunterHunter has faced many difficulties in his young years, born with a severe seizure disorder, developmental and physical delays and a mild form of autism. When beginning his training at the dojo in May 2008, Hunter was a frail, timid child weighing just twenty six pounds. Although we have had Hunter’s seizures under control for a while, his lack of weight has constantly been at issue to the point that the doctors were contemplating a feeding tube for nourishment.

Immediately upon starting his training, we noticed a difference. If it is a “dojo day” he breezes through his homework, readily eats up his dinner and now rocks the scale at forty pounds. Hunter’s neurologist is contemplating reducing or removing Hunter from his seizure medications after his upcoming yearly testing in March 2009.

We are extremely grateful for their compassion and love for children and how they have made life altering changes in our son’s lives.
