Children who practice martial arts through ARDE's Ninja Warriors Program not only learn valuable self-defense techniques but also build a strong foundation in essential life skills. Our program focuses on helping kids develop confidence, discipline, respect, and self-control—qualities that are crucial in handling challenging situations. For children who face bullying, these skills can be life-changing, empowering them to stand up for themselves in a calm, assertive manner. At the same time, kids who may struggle with aggressive behaviors or bullying tendencies can benefit from the discipline and respect emphasized in martial arts training. By learning to channel their energy positively, they gain a deeper understanding of empathy and self-regulation. Through ARDE’s Ninja Warriors Program, kids not only get a fun and engaging physical activity but also grow into confident, respectful, and self-assured individuals who are better equipped to navigate their social worlds.

This Teacher Appreciation Week, we honor the profound impact of, and urgent need for more, teachers of color and Indigenous educators. They are crucial role models in our classrooms, but they remain vastly underrepresented and often leave the profession early due to systemic barriers and inadequate support. Over 40% of U.S. schools lack any teachers of color, highlighting a critical gap in representation that affects current students, who are also our next generation of educators. Students of color voice a strong desire to teach, driven by the chance to make meaningful connections and inspire future students. Yet, deterrents like low pay and a lack of cultural representation in curricula discourage many. At EdLoC, we are committed to elevating the voices of teachers of color and Indigenous educators and reshaping an education system that truly values and supports them. As we celebrate their contributions this week, let's also commit to the systemic change needed to welcome more educators of color into their ranks.
