Neuroplasticity
Engaging our brain and body to create new neural pathways and brain reorganization through repetitive mirrored movements to learn or relearn skills and skill sets. Mirrored movements in both the affected side (left side of my body, since my brain injury was on the right side of my brain) and the non-affected side of my body. Repetitive mirrored movements to create coordination of skills and skill sets.
In my ongoing brain injury recovery process and journey I have used different martial art disciplines (a bazillion times) to create new neural pathways and brain reorganization. I have done so through Escrima, Kali, Wing Chun, Muay Thai and Western Boxing.
Click on the below 1 minute You Tube presentation to view how I use repetitive mirrored movements to empower my brain and body’s ability to develop skills and skill sets.

In the process, I have achieved what I never dream possible.
“Research your own experience, absorb what is useful, reject what is useless and add specifically your own creation.” Bruce Lee
“It is not that I am so smart. It is just that I stay with problems longer.” Albert Einstein

How I Use the Principle of Neuroplasticity to Create new Neural Pathways and Brain Reorganization
Below are links to short video presentations showing the progression of how the concept of neuroplasticity through repetitive mirrored movements has benefited my mind and body.
I began my process of using repetitive mirrored movements through different martial art disciplines in October of 1998.
In August 2013 a friend of mine made a video presentation of the progress that I made using the principle of neuroplasticity. Other friends have helped me to make video presentations of my progress in each year since 2013. Below are links to YouTube presentations of the progress made using repetitive mirrored movements. To watch the progress made using the principle of neuroplasticity over the past 8 years, click on Start > for each of the demonstrations.
Developing both Gross and fine Motor Skills and Skill Sets
As I have continued in my ongoing use of repetitive mirrored movements — to create new neural pathways and brain re-organizations — I have worked to develop gross and fine motor skills.
