CNN News: 身殘志堅(jiān)

What color belt is associated with the beginner in martial arts?

初學(xué)跆拳道帶什么顏色的腰帶?

Yellow, white, red, or green?

黃色，白色，黃色還是綠色?

People learning martial arts usually begin with the white belt, which is set to signify birth.

開(kāi)始學(xué)習(xí)跆拳道通常都帶白色的腰帶，這代表的初生的意思。

OK, building confidence, improving focus and coordination, getting in shape, learning self-defense, these are benefits you`ll see advertise at practically any martial arts studio. What makes Breaking Barriers Martial Arts different isn`t just the skills it helps its students develop but the students it helps develop those skills.

在所有的武術(shù)館，你都會(huì)看到這樣的宣傳廣告，建立自信、提高注意力和協(xié)調(diào)能力、塑形、學(xué)習(xí)自我防衛(wèi)技術(shù)。使得破冰武術(shù)俱樂(lè)部與眾不同的是，他可以幫助學(xué)生們習(xí)得這些技能，既以技能為中心，更以學(xué)生為中心。

Disabilities, it doesn`t mean they can`t do what we can do. I`m Katarina Eckstein-Schoemann and I`m the head instructor at Breaking Barriers Martial Arts.

殘疾，并不意味著他們不能做我們可以做的事情。我叫卡特琳娜·?？怂固?，我是這個(gè)武術(shù)俱樂(lè)部的教學(xué)負(fù)責(zé)人。

Breaking Barriers teaches children with all types of abilities. So we have down-syndrome, muscular dystrophy, autism, ADHD.

這里教授學(xué)生多種能力。這些的學(xué)生患有唐氏綜合癥,肌肉萎縮癥、自閉癥、多動(dòng)癥等各種疾病。

It`s just really fun to see them coming out of their shells and really being comfortable in who they are, and knowing that being different is OK.

看見(jiàn)他們走出傷心憂郁，適應(yīng)自己，知道即使與眾不同也無(wú)可厚非。我真的非常的高興

I have two younger brothers, David and Kenny, and they were both diagnosed with autism at a young age. It was really hard to find something for my brothers to be involved in.

我有兩個(gè)弟弟，他們是大衛(wèi)和肯尼。在非常小的時(shí)候，他們就被確診為自閉癥。很難找到能讓適合他們的活動(dòng)。

So, it was really need when we joined taekwondo and we could do it as a family. I felt like the environment was just so much my understanding.

加入跆拳道，這樣我們可以像個(gè)家庭，變得很有必要。我覺(jué)得跆拳道的氛圍正是我所能理解的。

Most importantly, I think the heart of taekwondo is basically how to become like a better person.

最重要的是,我認(rèn)為跆拳道的核心就是如何成為一個(gè)更好的人。

I started this program, I had no idea it was going to be anything more than just a Saturday class that was going to be fun for kids to just come and play and learn martial arts. But it`s made an impact on these kids.

于是，我就開(kāi)辦了這個(gè)項(xiàng)目。我并不知道，這會(huì)變得愈發(fā)有意義，不僅僅局限于孩子們來(lái)玩耍學(xué)習(xí)武術(shù)的周末課程。但是這對(duì)這些孩子們產(chǎn)生了重大的影響。

Feels good to know that we`re helping other families that are like us.

非常高興，我們也在幫助其他像我們這樣的家庭。

He has just blossomed through this program. As a parent, it`s the most incredible feeling.

通過(guò)武術(shù)的學(xué)習(xí)，他變得開(kāi)朗了。作為一個(gè)父母，這是最令人難以置信的。
