Jeffrey Wall

Jeffrey Wall, 17, is a senior at Chaminade Julienne High School and began his martial arts training at the age of six. Jeffrey was inducted into the USA Martial Arts Hall of Fame in 2015. Inspired by his grandparents, he developed a nonprofit organization in 2019 to host free martial arts classes in nursing homes. Lovingly called his Ninja Nanas and Papas, Jeff’s seniors gained popularity and national attention on social media. Jeffrey continues to teach martial arts to seniors both in person and virtually and hopes to continue his martial arts classes next year as he transitions to college with the goal of creating Golden Age Karate branches across the nation.

WHAT IS TEDx

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxDayton, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxDayton event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.
