At WadoKai Worcester we can help improve your childs attention span and center their focus, we do this by teaching them traditional karate with a fun and structured approach.

 

Ok, now for the science...

 

Karate training can turn on a child's attention system, which can affect the parts of the brain responsible for sequencing, prioritizing, working memory and sustaining attention.

 

Studies show that karate does this by increasing the brain's dopamine, serotonin and norepinephrine. These brain chemicals can positively affect the attention system's ability to stay regular and consistent, which can increase alertness in children.
