Breakthrough Karate Website

22 June 2024 at CoLab Evanston

THE PROJECT: https://breakthroughkarate.org/

Breakthrough Karate is a program developed by a group of Karate instructors and medical professionals geared for individuals who have Parkinson’s disease – a progressive disorder that affects the nervous system and the parts of the body controlled by nerves. It has been proven that a regular practice of physical exercise can both help to slow the progression of diseases like Parkinson’s and that the mastering of movement and body control can greatly improve the quality of life for all despite where they may be on the continuum of symptoms.
