	Teaching the martial arts for over 35 years has given me the opportunity to touch many lives. Over the years, we have taught many children with special needs. Opening our newest school in East Setauket in October of 2007, has given us the opportunity to continue to teach & work with children with Autism Spectrum Disorders & their families.We currently have the privilege to work with children on the spectrum as young as 4 and as old as 16! This has proven to be a extremely positive & very rewarding experience. It has also brought to our attention, the need to raise awareness of Autism Spectrum Disorders. In efforts to do so, we host annual FUNDRAISING Events for AUTISMAWARENESS. - SaBumNimWalter Vendura

Empowering Lives Through Martial Arts

	“Justice absolutely loves Karate! The instructors are so patient, dedicated and encouraging. Justice has learned something with every half hour session. He can walk on a balance beam. He can climb up the rock wall at the playground. Things that you can actually see a difference in. At LI Traditional, they work on eye contact, communication skills, social skills, muscle tone, strength, motor skills, behavior management, self discipline, listening skills and following directions. (Not bad in a half hour and my son really enjoys it!) If you have a child with special needs ages 3 and up, I would definitely recommend this school.”
