DEFENDING MY FRIENDS WAS ONE OF THE MAIN CAUSES TO CHOOSE PARA-KARATE

✳️ At the age of ten he entered parakarate “to defend his friends”, but a few days later he realized that this martial art was more… She tells you herself in her brief history from Chile.

WITH A HEMIPARESIS, I PERFORM PARAKARATE BECAUSE IT IMPROVES MY STRENGTH IN HAND AND FOOT

My name is Maite Antonia Paz Santis Acevedo was born on December 3, 2008, I am 10 years old and at 8 months I was detected a left hemiparesis, which makes me have less strength in my left hand and foot, also hindering my movements.

I currently attend therapies in Teletón and the National Institute of Rehabilitation in Chile (INRPAC). In a therapy we learned of the existence of parakarate class and my mom asked me how I thought it was, and I very excitedly wanted to get in.

I WAS EXCITED TO BE ABLE TO DO PARA-KARATE

I entered the first days of May 2019, where I attend twice a week. First of all, I was struck by learning to defend my friends, but today I have discovered that it is much more than that, since in this short time I have improved my balance, my strength and little by little the control of my movements.

I IMPROVE DAY BY DAY IN ADDITION TO MAKING FRIENDS

I am very happy to be able to continue practicing this martial art because I have realized that I overcome myself day by day and I have also made new friends, I recommend it to everyone ***
