The Best Fighter is Never Angry

“Wow! How did he do that?” the kids were shouting. A presentation was going on at Franciscan School, from the Martial Arts Academy. At the second period of class, all the school gathered to watch a presentation of different types of martial arts.

There were two teachers: Alex Bonilla and Carlos G. Valladares, both recognized in San Pedro Sula. They started explaining who they were and the different classes they give, which are: grappling, jiu jitsu, striking, kickboxing, kempo and karate.

All the kids, even the teenagers were impressed by the abilities of the martial art students and the teachers. They showed different ways of defending yourself and always stated that it is not used to fight but to defend you from any harming situation.

“You are never too old enough to be amazed by fighting techniques” was the phrase Luis Diego, a 10th grade student, told us. He also said that he liked jiu jitsu best and that he admired them because of their discipline to do such thing.

Girls enjoyed this too, and Marilyn was one of them. She really liked how they could concentrate and have the ability to do these techniques without really harming themselves.

The presentation lasted about 3 hours, because children were all running around wanting to fight the way they did. It was impacting how everyone loved it, even the teachers. They even have to start giving classes of martial arts in the school because many kids were interested in learning self-defense.


“Where the good ones become the best, and the best become champions.” That’s the logo they use, and our closing thoughts. So if you are searching a way to defend yourself, now you are able to at school. Remember that “the best fighter is never angry,” so don’t fight to hurt, but to defend yourself when needed.
