TUCSON, Ariz. — It’s been four years since Wakefield Middle School reopened after closing in 2013. Now, it’s one of the only public schools in the country to offer Judo as an elective.
“When we first started Higher Ground, martial arts was one of the first things we offered kids that we saw had a huge impact on their behavior,” he said. Azarias-Suzumoto and his team are building a curriculum based on research and they’re hoping it will be used in other schools. “Decreases in student discipline, we see more confidence. We also see students who are focusing more on how to organize their day and how to do their work. So it translates so well into what they do in their day in the other academic areas,” said Lane.“In Judo, there’s the principle, you’ve got to control your head, because where your head goes, the body follows. So we teach kids, you’ve got to start planning.
