Martial Arts is a wonderful extracurricular activity for those with special needs, especially kids with Autism or other sensory-processing issues. The repetition, the familiar curriculum, the familiar faces at each class....each aspect of martial arts allows those with special needs to shine and participate on par with classmates.

Join Restita and Bob as they talk about martial arts for special needs....specifically the Autism Spectrum, and we want to hear from parents with kids that have sensory processing difficulties, teachers/paraeducators, therapists, and most of all, we want to hear from martial arts instructors who offer classes or programs for special needs kids.

Tonight we look into why renowned cardiovascular surgeon Dr. Mehmet Oz recommends Reiki as his number one “Doctor’s Order” on The Dr. Oz Show: “Try Reiki” Dr. Oz urges 3.5 million TV viewers.  Dr. Oz, recommended Reiki as one of his favorite complementary therapies on his own popular TV show, The Dr. Oz Show.

 “Try Reiki. This alternative medicine treatment can manipulate your energy and cure what ails you.” 

— Dr. Mehmet Oz

Dr. Oz began by saying “I’ve worked and trained in some of the finest medical schools and hospitals in this country, and I know first hand the amazing miracles we can achieve with modern Western medicine, but I also know that for centuries, people around the world have developed alternative therapies that treat the body, mind, and the soul. So today I’m revealing my ultimate alternative medicine secrets. If you’ve got a medical problem you can’t solve, you may find the answer in reiki.

Toy Lei is a native New Yorker who is a California transplant. She’s had a fascination with action movies since her parents took her to Chinatown to watch kung fu movies and her in-depth participation in THE HURRICANE FIST (which was an homage to that genre) debuted at Comic-con. She has been seen in episodic television such as PARENTHOOD, HAPPY ENDINGS and WEIRD LONERS. ROAD WARS is one of the several independent features, shorts and web series you can also find her in. Her directorial, writing and producing debut, THE WEDDING, won her the Top 5 Women Filmmakers award from the Asian-American Film Lab and New York Women in Film and Television.

Director: Toy Lei

What most people don’t know is that while TOY LEI is in front of the camera a lot, she also has several credits as action director and fight choreographer including The Hurricane Fist, a 2009 Comic-con Film Festival Selection. Her directorial debut, The Wedding, won her the Top 5 Women Filmmakers award from the Asian-American Film Lab and New York Women in Film and Television. Her latest, BOXER, won not only Best Actress, but also Best Action and the big enchilada, the Grand Prize at the 2015 AAFilmlab Shootout.

Writer: Toy Lei

TOY LEI began writing because of the lack of roles in Hollywood for Asian females over 30. She has had a fascination with action films ever since her parents took her to Chinatown as a kid to watch straight-from-the-motherland kung fu movies every Saturday afternoon. And now, she spends her days dreaming up guns, blood and all kinds of ass-kicking for mature, smart, sexy women. When she’s not making movies, you can find her slinging her swords, snowboarding or playing punk rock versions of Motown tunes.
