“Education’s purpose is to replace an empty mind with an open one.”

Translation for Adults
Martial arts training opens your mind, preparing you to be more receptive to learning at any age. You are constantly introduced to new concepts, and challenged to memorize self-defense skills, which helps your mind stay sharp and in a continuous state of learning. You gain more knowledge, especially about yourself; you receive a variety of information that broadens your thinking; and you acquire the power to see the possibilities of the world.
Translation for Children
An open mind helps you to make the right choices. You’ll be able to understand information better, form your own opinions and make your own decisions.
Imagine if a friend told you that a hot fudge sundae tasted terrible, and your friend did not understand why anyone ever ate one? If you accepted what your friend said, then you wouldn’t be thinking for yourself. The right choice is to taste a hot fudge sundae, and then you’ll know it tastes great. Don’t always rely on what others tell you. Learn and think for yourself. You’ll make better choices and the right decisions through- out your life.
Class Discussion for Children
- Has anyone ever told that you wouldn’t like some- thing, such as a hot fudge sundae? Did you keep an open mind and try it yourself? Did you decide that you liked it?
- What have you learned in your martial arts class that made you think of something in a new way?
