A Boy Starts Crying During His Martial Arts Training. We Need More Mentors Like This In The World

August 2, 2016

In this video, a Taekwondo instructor forces a student to push his limits which results in the boy crying. The instructor pauses and asks Bruce, "Why are you crying?"

The Cave of Adullam Transformational Training Academy shared the video and wrote the following message:

"Congrats to Bruce, our latest recruit to pass his Initiation Test into the Cave of Adullam Transformational Training Academy. I decided to share this part of his Initiation Test to encourage all of you to not only allow your sons to cry when facing emotional stress, but more importantly, patiently walk them through it.

During these perverse times, it's truly vital that we, the men and fathers of this generation, do not allow our boys to grow up with a false sense of masculinity like we did. Unfortunately our fathers never displayed what masculine sensitivity looked like. So as a result, we have a generation of emotionally unstable men walking in unresolved anger, confusion and depression.

Besides being dexterous at physical combat and spiritual warfare, a warrior of God is also creative, orderly, sensitive, caring and compassionate. So we place strong emphasis on allowing our recruits to openly express their emotions, so that we can teach them how to use those emotions to their benefit, and become a comprehensive man of God. Take a moment to watch and be encouraged, and be blessed."
