Research conducted in a local Secondary school in London, England proves that exercise in the form of the martial art known as Choi Kwang Do can help children improve their academic performance and develop character.
The research took place at Alperton Community School, in London and the participants have seen tremendous improvements not only in their GCSE grades but also in terms of confidence, self-esteem and self belief.

I thought this press release was good, nice work.
Well done, I enjoyed reading this.
Mr Thomas I have to agree with you here, this was a great read.
I’ve read your post several times and other posts on this site. I have to say that it is really impressive and your material is very different to how I was taught marital arts (a long time ago). I would like to possibly enrol my children into such classes as I know that it will help them not only in their studies but also with the confidence – I would be greatful if you could send me some more information about you lessons. Thank you.
Best wishes woth your work!Your blog is very good!
Young people need as much help as they can get with their studies and this research proves the importance of exercise and education. Equally importnat is the need and development of good character – especially in this day and age where there seems to be a void of good manners. These classes should be taught in ALL schools. This is a really good pieice of work.
Thanks for such a great Press Release, I am totally impressed!
Excellent work Master Banfield. The video is great. You really are an inspiration to us all.
Excellent post. Really encouraging results. Would you consider recreating this reserach on a larger scale?
Read this post with much excitment – It give me a good insight into how I can do well with my exams next year. Please could you let me know where I can find the video of this study?
This is a great post. Thanks so much for sharing.
Fantastic work and excellent results. Well done.
This is a really intresting study. It shows how little we really do know about the body and brain and its capabilities. Good luck.
I just finshed watching your research video on youtube and this press release is really very good and cool,thank you for your sharing.
This is the best article I have read in a long time, thank you, I have gained a lot of knowledge in this area.
Good luck with the work you are doing, I’m sure it will help a lot of teenages studying for their exams – they will beneit from this study. I wish we had something like this when I was at school.
I had no idea about the martial arts and how it can help with my studies. I wish I could attend your classes.
I don’t know what you’re doing but keep doing it Michael. In short, I strongly reemnocmd this work and if you can find a class enroll in it.
wow, its great post..
Really good post!
Love the new site! Also stopped by your school to check it out. I like the programmes that you offer for childrens and adults. The instructors were very friendly and answered all my questions. Thanks!!
As a parent I always knew that exercise was good for the body, but your reseach shows that it good for the brain. Very intresting.
Execellent site. Interesting discussions and ideas.
I never thought I would agree with this opinion, but I’m starting to see things differently, very interesting.
Really love all the posts you offer! I am so looking forward to seeing more like them…
Thank you for this – I reallyu enjoyed reading about your successes with these children.
Yes at last someone who gets how education can be delivered. I can’t understand why more schools and colleges around the world do not adopt such ideas? Are you telling me that they don’t know? or are they just not too bothered?
I’m glad people like yourself take the time out to bring this information to the masses.
Keep up the good work.
I have always known that exercise can help children and adults perfrom better in life. I noticed that from your video you mention the book Spark by John Ratey. This is an excellent read and coupled with the type of marital art that you teach its easy to see now – how come you had such good results.
The world needs more approaches to education like this. Excellent stuff.
Good information. Thank you.
You have very nice blog here. Only one thing what I noticed, it was very hard to find it from google (at least with my search term) and I think a lot of people could benefit from reading this material.
Fine site. Good content. Easy reading.

Could someone please get back to me and let me know how we can get involved in something like this for our school. Thank you.
