How Do Martial Arts Classes Help Children with Autism

The relationship between martial arts and autism has been getting a lot of attention in the past decade. With a constant search for effective therapies and activities for autistic children, the martial arts have begun to establish themselves as a positive aid in the lives of autistic kids. Many studies have shown what we, as martial artists, have known for a while. A 2010 by the University of Wisconsin found that martial arts and autism go well together; autistic children were a lot more social with their peers, their physical coordination improved, as did their self-esteem.

Here are a number of ways that martial arts and autism can have a positive relationship for children and their families.

Social

Martial arts classes require quite a bit of social interaction. There is interaction between the teacher and student, as well as plenty of interaction with other classmates. Many drills and activities require a partner and/or cooperation with many other students. This helps in nurturing a comfort level for autistic kids, as they become more familiar with their surroundings and others in your martial arts school.

With a constant pursuit in martial arts, self-esteem tends to be boosted as proficiency increases. Allowing the student to become more sure of themself through practice is an important part of a healthy lifestyle and socialization for kids. This combined with their consistent social interactions can help children come out of their shell, becoming more social.

Physical

The autism spectrum contains a lot of repetitive behaviors, as does martial arts. Many martial art forms or techniques must be performed many, many times, in order to achieve fluency and mastery. Stereotypy is the measure of how frequently someone in the autism spectrum exhibits repetitive motions, which can be a detriment to them. A study of the University of Isfahan showed that students who learned karate kata, or patterns, which requires a large amount of repetition, exhibit a large and significant reduction in stereotypy after one month of training. With lifelong learning, martial arts and autism create a lasting symbiotic relationship that greatly benefits students.

Motor skills are another faculty the autism spectrum can have difficulty with. Motor planning can be a difficulty for many but learning the necessary body positions and techniques in martial arts can yield huge improvements. Martial arts classes have an external cue (instruction or a reaction to an attack or defense), in which a reaction undergoes internal coordination and motor planning. This helps develop the brain areas that are used for motor skills.

Mental

Confidence and self-esteem are incredibly important for everyone and this includes the autism spectrum. In multiple University of Michigan studies of wellbeing in America, it was found that satisfaction with self was the best predictor of general life satisfaction, rather than satisfaction with family life, friendships, or income.

Increasing awareness with pamphlets or a simple page on your webpage is a great idea to attract children – predominantly parents looking for programs that might benefit their child –

in the autism spectrum. They deserve the benefits that come with martial arts, and some states’ insurance companies even cover martial arts as part of their therapy. If you do attract children in the autism spectrum, ensure you train and educate all of your instructors on autism and the dos and don’ts of how martial arts and autism function together.

Despite all of the potential benefits of martial arts and autism, it’s always a good idea to consult your child’s doctor before beginning any physical training. Did you know many forms of martial arts can help children with ADHD as well? Learn more here.

Jukjangdo [죽장도: 竹杖刀] ~ Bamboo Long Sword

•Jukjangdo looks like a cane from the outside. So it does not give a displeasure for the public.

•It can change into a spear quickly, even if it looks like a cane from the outside.

•It can protect people from the bandits, the beasts, and the wild dogs when walking or climbing the mountains.

•It can use to defeat wild boars facing unexpectedly from the hiking, the fields,
and the orchards.

Ashi Sabaki

En Kendo uno de los cimientos más importantes para la práctica de la postura y las técnicas es el trabajo de pies el cual se rige por posiciones estrictas. A esto en la práctica se le llama Ashi Sabak (trabajo de pies). En Kendo específicamente se practica Suri Ashi y de este tres fundamentales derivaciones.

okuri ashi (el pie derecho siempre adelante)

ayumi ashi (el pie derecho e izquierdo hacia adelante alternando)

hirakiashi (de lado a lado)

Suri- ashi: se puede interpretar como el deslizar los pies. En la práctica de kendo es muy común el uso de suri-ashi ya que el desplazamiento es deslizando el pie por el metatarso teniendo ligeramente elevado el talón.

Okuri-Ashi: Una de las más importantes técnica de ashi sabaki es el Okuri-Ashi hay que tener mucha atención en hacer bien Okuri-Ashi ya que no es una posición natural. Básicamente Okuri Ashi es estar parado con el pie derecho adelante, el izquierdo atrás, teniendo el dedo pulgar del pie izquierdo alineado con el talón del pie derecho y con una separación de pies a la altura de los hombros para no perder equilibrio. La rodilla izquierda queda estirada, y el talón izquierdo ligeramente levantado.

El desplazamiento hacia el frente es siempre es con el pie derecho y el movimiento hacia atrás es desplazando primero el pie izquierdo.

En Okuri-ashi, el pie trasero nunca cruza la parte delantera y viceversa. No importa si el pie derecho está ubicado atrás o el pie izquierdo es el pie trasero. Es muy importante evitar arrastrar el pie y entender la diferencia entre deslizar y arrastrar. Un ejercicio común para aprender este desplazamiento se le como Zenshin Kotai Okuri-ashi que se interpreta como un desplazamiento hacia adelante y uno hacia atrás con Okuri-ashi.

Otro concepto importante es Shiho Ashi-sabaki donde la palabra Shiho significa 4 direcciones, así que shohon ashi-sabaki es el desplazamiento en las 4 direcciones: Mae (adelante), Ato (atrás), Migi (derecha) e Hidari (izquierda). Estos desplazamientos se realizan bajo la misma lógica, para ir a la izquierda el pie izquierdo primero, para ir a la derecha el pie derecho.

Lo importante es no cruzar los pies nunca ya que es mas fácil perder el equilibrio con los pies cruzados.

Hiraki-ashi

Este ejercicio se acompaña con suburi (sin cortar). Hiraki-ashi consiste en cambiar la dirección del cuerpo utilizando un pie como pivote.

Ayumi-ashi

En Ayumi-ashi, podemos cruzar los pies, como si se caminara normalmente, pero en suri-ashi (deslizando los pies).
