Hey guys this is a follow up to my original question about anyone knowing of any martial arts dojos in the Des Moines area. I know people will work with me if I am unable to do a move due to my Cerebral Palsy but does anyone know of any martial arts style that will take this negative and turn it into a positive, or do you guys know of any styles that would be good for me to do. So here's a little bit more information on my condition. I have slight Cerebral Palsy, the effect it has on my body is that I have tight muscles and have trouble with gross and motor function. Basically, my movements are jerky. Also, I have a problem with doing some acrobatic moves like the cartwheel. I have tried for years to do this simple move and have yet to accomplish it. I think its due to the brain muscle disconnection that Cerebral Palsy causes. I would like to know what martial arts you guys think I should do now that you have all the information you need and yes I do know that some/most instructors will work with me to modify a move if I am unable to do it. So, let me know what Martial Arts you think I should look into?
Thanks
