Jim learns about Rock Steady Boxing against Parkinson's

There is a special boxing class for people dealing with Parkinson’s disease.

Boxing works by moving the body in a planes of motion while continually changing the routine, so it helps those with Parkinson’s control tremors and gain better muscle control.

Jim De La Vega spent the morning learning about a local gym helping those with Parkinson's disease fight back.

You can find this special Rock Steady Boxing class at UFC Gym at 1504 E. Champlain Drive at Shepherd in North Fresno.

There are classes Tuesday's and Thursday's at 1:00 p.m. and there are plans to add more.
