Tae-Bo Founder Example of Compensation
Henry Stein · 3/10/99 at 11:06 PM ET
The recent issue of Time magazine (3/11/99)includes an article about the new exercise routine called Tae-Bo and its founder Billy Blanks. Blanks, who is a martial arts champion, suffered from bad hips and dyslexia as a child, and apparently started studying martial arts at the age of 11. His struggle to overcome his impairment, and subsequent accomplishment, provides an interesting illustration of Adler's concept of over-compensation for organ inferiority.
