Therapy is applied martialyogarts of the martial arts. By using martial arts for self-defense or protecting others it exists the possibility of hurting other human beings. Consequently one must first learn, or at least simultaneously, how to heal.

For every promotional rank each student was required to help and assist individuals or groups, preferably using the newly acquired martial arts skills. Some students delivered food to the elderly in dangerous urban slums while others helped younger kids in poor neighborhood with their homework and in teaching elementary martial arts to them. At that time, Nag had begun teaching martial arts to children and adults with serious illnesses and disabilities therapeutically. Many of the students assisted in this endeavor and later sought out other disabled and sick children.

In 2003 Nag and his team decided to develop this concept to another level where the curriculums developed so far would be used to educate other martial arts instructors and members of the medical community in a new form of training towards rehabilitation and healing. Martial Arts Therapy was founded as a non-profit organization and was granted space in a synagogue to teach classes. Nag and the Martial Arts Therapy instructors went to conferences to teach, held training seminars for doctors and martial arts instructors, publicized the Martial Arts Therapy program to the best of their abilities, taught the techniques at two cancer camps, and continued classes for families of children with illnesses and disabilities while training a volunteer corp.
 Martial Arts Therapy Program Overview

Martial Arts Therapy is a virtual combat practice. Our no-contact method enables instructors to initiate kids' involvement in a most gentle way, using fluid movements and steps. Martial artists animate the empty uniform serving as a target for an imaginary fight, teaching children all that martial arts has to offer without any injury or danger, allowing children to be included in a combat practice for the first time.

Our students receive special "Belt and Badge Awards" for their physical and emotional achievements and get ready to pass along their knowledge and help to others. We teach our kids to perform under pressure. In specially designed training seminars children communicate their fears of their daily trials. Kids learn how to avoid fear and anger and replace it with love and joy. Martial Arts Therapy is fun for children and at the same time it is a practice for the techniques allowing kids to start harvesting the rejuvenating energy of martial arts. The same energy which allows a trained martial arts practitioner to crack the masonry without feeling pain is now helping the child to fight his malady.

Our guidance imagery is designed to benefit even the frailest children and incorporates four elements: envisioning an army of white blood cells armed with swords and shields attacking and defeating the cancer cells the way the patient practice their martial arts with the foam sword, seeing the white cells of the immune system swarming over the cancer cells and clearing up the debris, seeing the cancer shrinking, and seeing the body returning to perfect health.

Martial arts have their roots in antiquity. The martial arts practitioners have developed and refined methods to achieve superior physical and mental health. The results are sometimes so striking that they become mythical, nevertheless these feats of strength are real, scientific, and reproducible, and simply are products of one's strong will, determination, and hard work.

Martial Arts Therapy offers the power of martial arts.
