Teacher Teaches Students ‘The Force’ in After-School Program

This is the teacher you're looking for! A teacher in New York is starting an after-school fitness program modeled after Star Wars, your kids could learn to be a Jedi.

How cool would this be? Andrew Yung has channeled his inner Obi-Won Kenobi will be starting an after school program designed to inspire kids to get moving and to get fit. Yung says he hopes the students will begin a journey, they will train their bodies, improve breathing, stretching, and reflexes. But, the best part? Lightsaber training!

Yung has started a DonorsChoose.org page to help raise funds for the academy.

I'm a huge fan of the ORIGINAL trilogy: Star Wars, Return of the Jedi and The Empire Strikes Back. Not so much of the "other ones."

I think it's great that a new generation is learning the ways of the Force. But, remember the words of the great Yoda. Hmm! Adventure. Hmmpf! Excitement. A Jedi craves not these things. Just reliving some of my favorite Star Wars quotes.

• “Now, witness the power of this fully operational battle station.” -- The Emperor
• “Ungh. And I thought they smelled bad on the outside.” -- Han Solo
• Try not. Do… or do not. There is no try.” -- Yoda
• “Traveling through hyperspace ain’t like dustin’ crops, boy!” -- Han Solo
• “That boy is our last hope.…No. There is another.” -- Yoda

May the Force be with you!
