Danny Passmore has been a lifelong student and teacher of physical and emotional self-defense. His success in developing the Whole Child Training Concept has been praised and practiced throughout the United States as a supplement to martial arts schools as well as a compliment to teachers of life skills for all ages. Martial Hearts sets to develop the Defensive Mental Edge against potentially aggressive emotional abuse. The chapter on planning your future offers step-by-step instruction for kids on how to develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills, which will help them in developing proper relationships from childhood to and throughout adulthood. This section goes on to in-depth academic organizing, studying, and testing skills to ease the burden of education. Learning the information on emotional con games protects your heart from those who want to gain your confidence quickly and then betray your trust with selfish motives (often sexual). If you have already been wounded, as so many of us have, this information will give you the tools to protect yourself from this ever happening again. Then there are the 19 courtesy rules. Practicing these courtesy rules is fun. You feel good about yourself because you are putting others first. To make sure others are comfortable is the definition of a gentleman or a lady. Being wealthy doesn't make you a gentleman or a lady; however, being a gentleman or a lady can make you wealthy-wealthy beyond measure, not with money, but with respect and contentment. You have this sense of feeling peaceful, serene, and happy inside and out. In this life, when so many people are so selfish and feel so empty, you are making a difference, a light in a world of darkness. Who could ask for more?
