Martial arts such as karate and taekwondo can improve the health and behavior of children. Schoolchildren become more balanced, restrained and attentive. American child psychotherapist Patricia Quinn believes that the rituals characteristic of martial arts (greetings, bows, respect to the teacher), as well as the rhythm and repetition of movements, are especially useful for distracted and hyperactive children: the child becomes more serious and concentrated, less distracted, and it is easier for him to control himself.
