The Feel-Good Curriculum by Maureen Stout presents an idea that I find myself able to relate to, and curious to learn more about. As a future educator, I find myself pondering how it is that our educational system is needing to dumb down the education. I feel like we should want to build America up rather than make grades easy to get. I know when I was in high school I felt as though I was earning my grades. Now I realize that it was the teachers giving grades away, and I find myself asking…

correct combination of arts in order to be successful. The usual go to arts of current or apparitional MMA fighters are jiu-jitsu, muay thai, and wrestling. Today, we are seeing resurgence in traditional arts into the sport such as karate, taekwondo, judo, and wing chun. In MMA, unlike boxing, there are many ways to win such as knockout, technical knockout decided by a referee when a fighter cannot defend himself, doctor stoppage if the doctor views the fight should not go on due to a cut or…

In 1958, Dwight D. Eisenhower was president. We were in the middle of the Vietnam War. We still only had one type of television. It was the box T.V. Our radio system was a little box radio with a long antenna. Fashion for ladies in 1958 was big poofy dresses and curled up hair. Red lipstick and thick eyeliner. Men would wear dress pants. Dress shirts under their buttoned up coats and bow ties. Always dress shoes, never anything else. Fedoras as well. In 1958 they launched spacecrafts into space.…

Dear Mr. Clark I read your book, Bad unicorn and it was pretty good. I liked how you added comedy and fantasy elements into the book. My favorite part was the cheeseburger moon and that made me chuckle a ton. I also liked that you took a little girl’s dream and crushed it with a man eating unicorn that can shoot fire out of her horn and burn people to a crisp. I liked that you put a magical book that only the main character could only read and it was just gibberish to other people. I suggest…

Kurosawa began his journey in the Japanese film industry in 1936, after a brief pursuit of painting. Kurosawa debut as a directer after many years of working on films as an assistant director and scriptwriter, with his film Sanshiro Sugata (a.k.a. Judo Saga) during World War II. After the war, Kurosawa cast the then-unknown actor Toshiro Mifune as starring role, in his stunning success Drunken Angel (1948). This furthered the director's reputation as one of the most…

be thought of as cute; 14-year-old black boys are often perceived as dangerous. The larger you are, the sooner you must learn to deal with other people’s negative stereotypes, and you may not yet be cognitively and emotionally mature enough to do so effectively (p.131).” The older I get, the more of a threat I become to the system of oppression and my existing is dangerous.

A man named Mitsuyo Maeda started training in Classical Jiu Jitsu and Judo through the Fusen Ryu.

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a modification of Judo and was started by Carlos and Helio Gracie. Carlos was trained by Mitsuyo Maeda, and…

I believe we have all seen major changes within law enforcement over the past several years. However, one area that I haven’t seen much change in is the reasons people join the law enforcement profession. I would guess that over 90% of law enforcement officers would say they entered into the profession to help people; I know that was my reason. Unfortunately, over the past few years, law enforcement officers have become an early and often target of negativity. There have been several high…

While standing in a crowd of millions of people in the dark with light strobes moving around, the audience intensely watches two teams battle against each other for the title of “Best in the World.” There are multiple close-calls, yells and cheers from the crowd, and the concentration of the players and fans. This is the future of sports. In the past couple of years, the size of the electronic sport has swelled into an immense amount. The media, which covers the esport’s tournaments, has become…
