How fun! I bet he loved it!! Break the Barriers does lots of gymnastics/dance/tumbling but they also have Karate (and the like), swimming and archery. They even have competition teams that travel all over the world. The teams are made up of both disabled and non. The owners opened up the place when her sister with down's syndrome wanted to do gymnastics. It all started in their backyard and grew from there. Just super special.
