OPTIONS Girls Do It Again!

As a part of Speech & Language therapy, the ladies of the OPTIONS Program at Brehm have been participating in self-defense classes and competitions at Black's Martial Arts Academy. Martial Arts has been a huge contributing factor in aiding and improving sequencing, memory, auditory processing, pragmatic language, balance, posture and self-confidence.

Recently, participants demonstrated their forms, punches, kicks, blocks and breaking of boards for a grueling 1.5 hours. Five of the ladies promoted to 1st degree green belt, while Libby G. and Blaire C. were double promoted- a first in Black's Martial Arts history. The three remaining ladies were promoted to green belt.

The OPTIONS group demonstrates blocks...

... followed by nearly flawless forms.


A proud group flashes broken boards with Master Black.

Congratulations to the OPTIONS ladies who participated in this event and achieved success!
