The Legend Taekwondo Coach Late Shri Janardan Mishra

The Martial Art Therapy, concept was started by Late Shri Janardan Mishra in the late 80s.
 This was never an experiment but yes confidence. He started this therapy on the paralyzed children struggling with polio etc.
The result was extremely outstanding, children not only become confident in doing things better but also they got tremendous improvement in their particular problem as well such as a polio suffering kid was found to have more power, flexibility in the affected leg.

Late  Shri Janardan Mishra uses to conduct these free classes which provided a lot of smiles to many.
As Late Shri Janardan Mishra was himself an expert martial artist, a black belt degree holder in Taekwondo so he was extremely capable of motivating the  disabled children by all kinds such as kicking, punching as well as using special equipment such as Nan Chaku, Lathi, etc and children can perform from a lot of varieties and  options.

Martial arts therapy is a concept still in development. Researchers have yet to conclusively identify the specific features of martial arts that foster a physical or psychological benefit. but Late Shri Janardan Mishra already proved his science of martial art therapy as it was beneficial in terms of Health, Fitness & wellness. 
Wellness because at that time in our society a physically challenged child had to be a lot hopeless as of lack of treatment , so it leads to inferiority complex in them but as they were able to do a lot of thing after learning martial art therapy which an ordinary common man can not do so it would not only give them confidence but also a feeling that they are a lot better than a lot of  normal people. Some have theorized (see Israeli study cited above) that an important feature is a dyadic interplay between students in most arts; the cooperation and response to feedback in practicing techniques such as throws or strikes may have a carryover to cooperation in real-life settings. However, even if all features are conclusively discovered within a specific art or system, there remains the issue of to what extent the instructors within that art/system provide those features to their students but Late Shri Janardan Mishra perfected it so well that he challenged the martial art therapy equally beneficial to deaf and  dumb children and people. 
As his father was a doctor in  Banaras Hindu University so a lot of doctors were also surprised and excited as well. 
Ordinary people were not ready to accept this but actually, it was all scientific, a physics of distance, speed, and sound.
A person who can not listen for them the training method was based on speed and distance & for those who can not see it was only sound, the realization of movements.
It was an extremely high level of expertness of Late Shri Janardan Mishra that made training comfortable to everyone, no matter what problem one may have.

This success was highly appreciable and respectable by everyone at Banaras Hindu University.
The dedication and expertise, as well as the extreme success of Martial Art Therapy of Late Shri Janardan Mishra, gave new birth to an academic course of Martial Arts that too in Banaras Hindu University.
 University launched a 6 months certificate course in Martial Arts & Self Defense and appointed Shri Mishra as the head in-charge and trainer for the same.
For more than 15 years he continued the successful heading of the course till his sudden death.
Still, now the university conducts this course.

He also established a center of Martial Arts learning excellence at Assi Ghat as Universal Martial Art Institute in the late 80s  which is still being run by his son Mr. Rajat Mishra.

Late Shri Janardan Mishra led the life of an extraordinary person because of his excellence of Martial Arts not only as sports but primly as a curing thing as that of his father.
He brought a change in the life of many disabled people and his martial art therapy made people socially, emotionally as well as physically fit which was not available in medical science at that time.

As a tribute District Taekwondo Association Varanasi has announced to give an annual award for Best coach by his name where the person shall be awarded a cash prize, a scroll of honor and a certificate.
