The 2nd reason why it
is worth supporting
Wu-Chi in its drive to solve the problem
of wayward male youth . . .
because
Wu-Chi is
a truly preventative community aid
service. |
Wu-Chi not only teaches
moral integrity but it provides young
men with a positive environment that requires them to
constantly exercise high levels of
ethical conduct — wherein they gain moral
stability before they venture into the
responsibilities of adulthood. |

In the case of the potentially violent male
youth, it is very important to reach them before
they develop habits of solving their problems in
life by fighting or the use of force. And even
though the development of aggressive and violent
tendencies in young people may begin at
different stages of their growth, the attraction
factor that responds to the Wu-Chi School of
Arts is always the same.
In our experience it is just as young men start
to seek out a tough identity for themselves that
they choose our activities. This happens well
before they show any outward signs of becoming a
social statistic, during the years when they
begin to seek out opportunities to exercise
freewill unsupervised.
Regardless of the reason behind young men
wanting to join Wu-Chi, none of them consider it
foreign or out of place to have to become very
respectful, self-disciplined and highly
principled in order to make it through the ranks
of a high-class martial art school. In
fact, they picture themselves in the future
becoming quite profound, and therefore they are
eager to adopt high standards for themselves,
both within the classroom and out in the
streets.
Climbing the Wu-Chi ladder of self-development,
their personalities develop habitual patterns of
behaviour that form an internal defence against
any wayward influences.

The 'downhill roads' in society are closed only
to those with integrity. Even youth, who
are given all the advantages that money can buy,
can fail when subjected to the challenges of
life. This is why Wu-Chi runs such a
comprehensive program that targets every young
man in the community (helping the weak and
shy as well as the rough and tough).
