Jedi Academy in Chile' Teaches Children Martial Arts!

Fear the force, you fuckers...this has taken shit to a whole new level. Combining what it considers the values of the Jedi -- wisdom and nobility -- with Yoga and Tae Kwon Do, the school believes it is providing its children something valuable along with the fun and entertainment of living a dream.


"But not everyone is happy about the way of the Jedi being taught to precocious youngsters. "You guys are completely and utterly stupid

They didn't have any photos of the actual Jedi Academy in the slideshow?! WTF. Very shoddy reporting Fox News Latino.

I guess that of any place on Earth that has a similar climate to Yavin IV, it'd be Chile.

Retarded, they are. Earned scorn, they have. Teach them well, they may well not.

Aside from the fact that the Jedi are largely modeled on Buddhists and Taoists, I think it's a cute idea for kids.

Blaming parents for kids loving Star Wars, you can not.

Kids love Star Wars, always been that way, it has.

It's time to unveil my Sith academy on Corriban, New Mexico.

I think it's great. They don't seem to claim that the kids will learn any mystical stuff. They teach Tae Kwon Do, yoga, and elementary school curriculum. If this is properly managed I'd think it's great for the little padawans.

This makes me slightly less ashamed of being a Trekkie.

I wonder what the pay is like for an instructor?

I wonder what the pay is like for an instructor?

A high midiclorian count and the knowlege that the universe is a safer place should technically be thanks enough for a Jedi.

Damn it, I want to see the scrolls (err, Holocrons?) that back up the lineage!

I sincerely doubt Mace Windu passed along the grandmastership of Vapaad lightsaber combat before his untimely demise.

This is sheer quackery!!!

[The Deliverator]

There is a statistical probability of 100% that at least one of the children being instructed in this school will succumb to the lure of the Dark Side of the Force and use their powers for evil instead of good. I swear I'm gonna be pissed at the parents who thought this was a good idea if I see some evil little mean girl with glowing eyes choking someone to death from across the room with the force after telling them "I find your lack of faith disturbing." Reap the whirlwind from this we shall!

He was trained by the force ghost sifu, hence, no holocron is required.
He has no desire to introduce men like you to his force ghost sifu. You are a liar, mocker, and false assumer of the Dark Side, and he has no benifit in meeting with men such as yourself.

Just think of this an alternative to church/sunday school that gets kids physically active and draws on better mythology.

My school of Conanical Barbarism will shit all over this.
You also learn Thievery, Crom Worship, and Grace Jones.
Also, all fights end in beheadings a la deathsword.
