Sensei Green has accomplished this feat 5 times and with the latest being a girl. There is research that will be starting 9/7/10 with a local university with I.R.B. approval on the effects of Karate on children with autism and how it effects them physically, mentally, and with their behavior. The research could last 5 to 10 years. Sensei Green teaches students with and without special needs and is writing two books. The first book is titled “KarateWise” and will be out Fall/Winter 2010.
