Does martial arts have something vital to teach young people today?
You bet - probably more than ever!
But the most important lessons are still the ones taught at home - a martial arts school can only add so much. We can not - and neither shall we - raise a child (unless of course it's our own)!
Story:
Part of the problem is society, said David Bunnell, the owner of Valley Martial Arts in Appleton's Artistic and Wellness Center, who adds that rudeness is part of our culture. "They play video games where they blow things up," he said. "The culture all around them says, 'Don't respect anybody. Threatening people is OK, and police are evil.' And this is directed toward kids."
All too often, he said, today's children are simply not taught good manners by example. "They don't see it happening. They don't see the benefit," Bunnell said.
