Bravo to this inspiring man! http://www.wxyz.com/dpp/news/region/oakland_county/local-martial-artist-willie-adams-is-helping-people-with-special-needs-in-southfield
Master Willie Adams teaches Detroit-area special needs students 2-3 times per week, FREE. I can't believe this man is 64, he looks wonderful. Good health and good deeds makes it so, I guess. :}

Progress!
I have exciting news about G this week: he got his first belt tip! A tip marks progress, and students need 4-5 tips to test for the next level belt. He acheived his black tip which is for blocking set; requiring routine, form, attention and focus.!!!! G's been going 4-5 times per week since July, and he's doing great at class participation and taking verbal instruction.
He has a wonderful bond with our local Tae Kwon Do Master, who's extremely patient with G and gets a kick out of him (or several!)...lol. G still has trouble with some of the warm-up exercises that require heavy-duty motor planning: spider walk, crab walk, jumping jacks, push-ups. I love to watch him do push-ups - he gets in proper form, then just bobs his head up and down. I'll have to get a video of that! :}
