Chilean children learn the way of the Jedi thanks to new martial arts school

Chile has a sweet Star Wars themed martial arts school that teaches kids what it means to be a Jedi, while also learning Tae Kwon Do. If there had been a Jedi school when I was a kid, I would have begged my parents to send me there. I was lucky to go to soccer camp and have a plastic light-saber that I would use to battle my friends with.

Here are some more details about the school as reported by Fox News Latino:

A Star Wars school called "The Jedi Temple" opened in Quilpué, Chile, to give children a unique way to study martial arts.

The school, which begins its second session on March 17th, is training 20 children between the ages of 6 and 12 years old and is split into a beginners and an advanced course, BBC Mundo reported.

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.

A genuine Star Wars experience is provided by "an exact replica light-saber, that has the sounds and the light reminiscent of the movies," William Berrueta, the creator of the school, told BBC Mundo.

The idea for "The Jedi Temple" was borne out of a visit to Chile by Star Wars: The Exhibition in March of 2009. It was the first time a display of props from the entire Star Wars series was made available for public viewing in Chile.

Pretty sweet, do they accept adult learners as well? What are your thoughts, woudl you send your childen to Jedi School. I can easily see this school turning into a franchise.
