Karate Instructor Tells Young Boy Why It’s Important For Boys To Cry

We live in a world that often tells us “boys don’t cry.”

Men have to be tough and never show emotions, but sometimes showing his emotions is one of the toughest things a man can do.

Take for example, Jason Wilson, the founder of The Cave of Adullam Transformational Training Academy in Detroit, Michigan. The non-profit martial arts academy wants to “create a generation of men who are physically conscious and spiritually strong enough to navigate through the pressures of this world without succumbing to their emotions.”

The training academy works with boys who have unresolved anger, ADHD symptoms, anxiety, and fear. They work to help conquer those issues in a productive responsible way.

Wilson recently decided to post a video from one of his lessons with the boys that’s been making its way around the internet and touching the hearts of millions. The video starts with Bruce, a new recruit, struggling to punch through a board. When Bruce started to cry, Wilson decided to give the class a lesson on why it’s important to let boys cry.

Wilson elaborates in the video saying:

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 many of us did. As a result, we have a mass amount of emotionally unstable men walking in unresolved anger, confusion and depression, instead of power, love and discipline. 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.

Wilson’s lesson had me tearing up and I dare you to get through the following video without tearing up too. Take a look and tell us your reaction in the comments afterward. And if you think his message is a valuable one, please SHARE with friends and family. Let’s let boys know it’s okay to cry.
