“Martial Arts on the Autism Spectrum: Practical Tips from Three Decades of Training Kids and Adults” by Al Loren, an informative guide to the benefits of martial arts training for people with autism and other neurodivergent traits, has achieved Amazon Bestseller status in several highly competitive categories. The book reached #1 in the “Sports and Outdoors” category, #1 in the “Parenting and Relationships” category, and #2 in the “Disabilities” category.
While the author also teaches neurotypical students, this inspiring, illuminating book focuses on the benefits, challenges, and first-hand experiences of teaching martial arts to students with autism across a broad range of ages. Loren shares specific curriculum, student success stories, and teaching philosophies, showing that martial arts training – particularly with a qualified, empathetic instructor – can help people on the autism spectrum build coordination, discipline, and resilience while providing an empowering sense of accomplishment.
The author’s time-tested, compassion-driven approach builds confidence, improves focus and concentration, and creates lasting positive changes that permeate every aspect of his students’ lives. By sharing his teachings, Al Loren also provides valuable guidance for parents, teachers, and loved ones outside of the realm of martial arts. His commitment to patient, deliberate methodology applies broadly to autism-focused education, and will inspire readers to bring these principles into their own lives.
Achieving Amazon Bestseller status means that Loren’s writing is reaching a wider audience, further spreading his message that through compassionate teaching and the fundamental principles of martial arts, incredible results are possible for individuals across the autism spectrum.
