Caden's Kickin Buddies, Inc The program concentrates on helping special needs children and adults to learn Martial Arts with the help of therapists and physical fitness experts. This very unique program is offered at no charge to the participants and their families. CKB's started in September 2001 with just a few children and has grown to approximately 35 active students attending each week. With the communities continued support, Middle Tennesseans with special needs will continue to excel. The founders are Kevin and Mari Cox (owners of Cox Family Peak Performance Martial Arts in Murfreesboro), who's 9 year old son, Caden, was the inspiration behind Caden's Kickin' Buddies. Caden was born with Down Syndrome and has progressed exceptionally well with the extra help of martial arts and therapy. Today, Caden is a black belt in Olympic Traditional TaeKwonDo!
