Breakthrough Karate students, friends, and supporters have high praise for the benefits of this martial arts program to combat the debilitating effects of Parkinson’s Disease.
Karate works wonders, it gives us a little control over something we have no control over, it gives us hope!
-Suzie C , Breakthrough Karate student
I lost my husband to Parkinson’s before being diagnosed with the disease myself. Connecting with this group has been like finding a beginning karate family.
-Jeri S, Breakthrough Karate student
There’s the psychological benefit. Everybody in the class has Parkinson’s, so I’m not this outside person. There’s a sense of community.
-Carol C, Breakthrough Karate student
For those cautious about trying Karate: you cannot do Karate wrong; you can only do it better!
-Dave Jaffe, Breakthrough Karate instructor
Breakthrough karate is a joy for me as it helps those with Parkinson’s fight back without using more medications.
-Steve Eisenstein, MD, NorthShore Family Physician, Founder of Breakthrough Karate.
