After School Programs North Shore Ma

Bruce McCorry's After School Program 
written by: Master McCorry


Labor Day is nearly here and the summer is coming to an end, and it is again time for kids to start a new school year. It is also the time when parents start hunting for the best education available. You might have made many plans on how and where should your kid spend his/her valuable school hours. But have you thought of what s/he should do in the after-school hours? A survey by After school Alliance points out that 30% of the Massachusetts kids get no proper adult supervision during the after school hours. Should your kid face the same difficulty? That is where the importance of an after school program comes in.

After School Programs: The Big Why
Why should your child be sent to an after school program? Many reasons are
there.
· Safety is a big reason why your child should spend his/her after school
hours in an after school program. Massachusetts Bay Transportation
Authority has registered a 50% increase in the number of juvenile/teen
crimes within just one year (2000-01). NYVPRC states that drug usage is 49%
more among children who are not part of an after school program.
· After school programs are much cheaper compared to alternate options
like daycare. Many budget cuts by the Massachusetts government since 2009
have made the after school programs much cost effective.
· Unlike the traditional alternatives, after school programs provide the
kids with the opportunity to learn a useful extracurricular activity. These
programs actually help the kids to use the after school hours productively.
The kids enjoy such programs more than their dull daycare.

All these show the importance of enrolling your kid in an after school
program.

After School Martial Arts Program (AMP) 
When you choose an after school course for your kid, you should choose
something that would be both enjoyable and useful to the kid. Martial arts
is such a course – a magic activity that can rejuvenate your kid after a
strenuous day at school. This amazing potential has led martial arts
experts to give birth to an innovative program called After School Martial
Arts Program (AMP) for children, with nation-wide recognition, we were the
first to bring the program to the Northeast. It blends together martial
arts with children’s activities, personality development courses and
behavior shaping activities. Apart from making your kid strong and sharp,
AMP helps your kid to defend himself/herself. AMP can be a useful escape
from various childhood perils such as bullying, peer-pressure, assault
attempts and so on. Further, martial arts help to mold the values of
leadership quality, cooperation, respect, self-worth, confidence and
discipline in the kids.

AMP at Bruce McCorry’s Academy of Martial Arts
AMP is gaining a new recognition in Peabody, Massachusetts through the
selfless service by Bruce McCorry’s Academy of Martial Arts. AMP at Bruce
McCorry’s is a martial arts course with international standard, the best of
its kind available in the US. The syllabus is a well-structured module

professionals. At a small fee, you can also get safe transport from your

Stop Bullying with Martial Arts North Shore Ma


Helping Children Handle Bullying with Martial Arts 
written by: Master McCorry

It’s time for children to go back to school with new backpacks and smiling
faces. But do their smiles stay long on their faces? Bullying is one of the
much feared classroom threats that wipe the smile off your child’s face.
Defining Bullying The federal government has come up with a broad definition for bullying. Bullying includes physical abuse, verbal abuse, isolating and ostracizing the victim from a group, taunting the victim, spreading gossip about the victim, harassing the victim via internet through the means of messages, pictures, posts and so on (cyber bullying). A shocking survey by Dr. Thomas Harish and Dr. Lynne Huffman reveals that 60% of 175 students confessed being part of a bullying activity. In 90% of the cases, the surveyed student was a victim. Most victims were timid, friendless and passive kids who found it difficult to voice their own opinion, or lacked the daring to resist the bully. Often, the younger and the physically weaker kids become an easy target.
Bullying: The Darker Side Negative consequences of bullying haunt the victims and the bullies alike, throughout their lives. In the victims, the emotional development suffers a setback. Losing self-esteem is a common negative consequence of bullying. Intense mental conflict and fear of further abuse may force the victims to rely on escapist mechanisms such as missing school, feigning illness and so on. Many victims fall to depression and some even start contemplating suicide as an escape.

Psychologically, bullies are usually those children who had to face some
or other kind of trauma in their personal life. For them, bullying is just
another way of channeling their anger, depression and hatred. On the
facade, it may look as if a victim suffers more consequences than the
bully. But psychologically, this is not so. The tragedy of the victim is
something temporary, of which they can hope a recovery. But being a bully
means more deeply entrenched damages. Bullies most likely grow up to be
drug addicts and sociopaths.

Resisting Bullying
Resisting bullying is quite difficult, as many victim kids choose to
remain silent than face the wrath of the bullies back at school. The first
step in resisting bullying is identifying the role of your kid in bullying.
Once you are confirmed of the fact that your kid is either getting bullied
or is being a bully, it is time to act.
If your child is a bully, then he/she may need the help of a pediatrician or a child psychiatrist. External intervention can be a great help in identifying the root cause behind the dominating behavior and correcting it. If your child is a victim, the first step is to empower the kid. Advise him/her to be assertive and defensive. One good method to instill self-esteem and assertiveness in kids is by enrolling them for character-building courses such as martial arts. If personal efforts do not get results, then you may seek the help of a professional.

Eliminating bullying is not a goal that can be realized through individual effort alone. It takes the effort of a community to wipe out this peril. Students, senior students, teachers, school supervisors and parents should be a part of this collective effort to get rid of bullying.
Stop Bullying through Learning Martial Arts at Bruce McCorry’s Academy One of the main aims of Bruce McCorry’s academy of Martial Arts (Peabody, MA) is to instill the values of courage, self esteem, boldness and self-worth in the minds of the students. The martial arts classes for kids at Bruce McCorry’s aim at making the student a self-realized personality – they realize their own power and learn how to use it effectively. Martial arts classes at Bruce McCorry’s have empowered thousands of children to stand up against school-life hazards including bullying. A few months of training at Bruce McCorry’s ensure that your kid never falls prey to the damaging aspects of school life such as bullying. 

Choose Bruce McCorry’s for your kid and make sure that he/she always smiles.

Karate Classes for Kids North Shore Ma

Karate Classes for Kids. The Decision is Yours
written by: Master McCorry

Karate: The King among the Martial Arts Karate is a contact-based martial art which hails from Ryukyu Island, Japan. Developed by the Ryukyu kings, Karate beautifully blends effective knee and elbow punches with palm-heel punches. The cultural transmissions between Ryukyu and the Japanese resulted in the spreading of this martial art to Japan. With Hollywood focusing on Karate during 1960s and 1970s, gradually it started getting worldwide recognition. Traditionally, Karate focuses on the dual aspects of attacking and defensing. As a result of the interlinking between psychology and martial arts, a third dimension of moral and mental benefit is being recognized now.
The Benefits of Karate for Kids Parents often misunderstand karate as a martial art too heavy for kids. But karate is not a burden for kids. On the contrary, it can actually benefit your kid in many ways. Child specialists, psychologists and martial arts experts have noted five benefits of karate for kids. 1. Health and Energy Karate can make your kid healthy and energetic. It effectively utilizes the time your kids waste away in front of the television and computer. As a result of karate lessons, kids become alert and active. Their body coordination improves; fitness and flexibility increase. 2. Self-worth and Confidence Karate has a profound effect in character formation. Karate makes your kid believe in himself/herself. They learn to value themselves. Their self confidence improves. They get the power to face the world. Karate makes them break out of inhibition and shyness. 3. Defense In many circumstances, kids may have to defend themselves, physically and mentally. These circumstances range from classroom bullying to violence against children. Karate helps your kids to remain always prepared and able to defend themselves. 4. Recognizing the Strange Children are usually prone to dangers. The main reason is that, in their naivete, they fail to recognize the strange and the weird things going on around them. Karate teaches a kid to distinguish between what is normal and what is not. If properly taught, the child can read signs of danger from the way somebody approaches, talks and behaves with them. 5. Mental Power An old Japanese maxim goes like this: “25% of Karate is in body, the rest 75% is in mind”. Karate improves memory, reasoning, thought-process and reaction abilities. It helps kids to cope better with stress. A Word for the Parents: The Decision is Yours In modern families, it is a recurring occurrence that kids take control of the situation and start imposing their decisions upon parents. Children lack experience, they often don’t have the ability to discriminate or foresee. They often don’t think of the 'other side', and mostly think from their own point of view. Parents know better because of their experience of knowing the ways of the world for so long. So, how favorable is this tendency of children taking decisions?

It is okay to consider and give enough space to the opinions and wishes of
the kids. It is also okay to let them take decisions in smaller matters,
which do not have a full-fledged impact on their (or your) lives. But in
the matters of importance, the decision should be yours.

Is it possible to convince children this? Will they realize that their
parents take decisions for their own good? Karate teaches them this as
well. Karate makes the children realize the fact that their parents, with
all their knowledge and experience, are probable to take better decisions
when it comes to matters of consequence.

Cardio Kickboxing Classes North Shore Ma

Cardio Kickboxing at Bruce McCorrys and its Benefits 
written by: Master McCorry

A name that has started resonating recently in the fitness industry is Cardio Kickboxing. Cardio Kickboxing is a multidimensional martial art that blends together sleek aerobic movements with powerful boxing and martial arts techniques. The result is a useful combo of a perfect workout and a perfect stress buster that can improve the quality of your life vigorously. If you are tired of the dull regular workout pattern, if you are in search of something new and pleasurable, then Cardio Kickboxing is for you.
Why Try Cardio Kickboxing
According to American Council of Exercise, the recognized evaluating
agency of exercise methods and workout products, a single hour of
kickboxing workout can actually burn up to 500-800 calories. A few sessions
tone your muscles and make you healthier and fitter in a way you can never
imagine. You get this astonishing result without putting as much physical
effort as you put for the other typical exercise-based workouts.

Secondly, kickboxing is as pleasurable as it is effective. The music
filled atmosphere and the simplicity of the movements actually bring about
the feeling of an enjoyable dance class, not a workout session. You start
enjoying each session for the mere fun of it.

Cardio kickboxing is a great relaxation technique as well. The kickboxing
sessions wipe out your stress. In a few days you develop an optimistic
attitude toward life. Cardio Kickboxing is, in short, the gem among the
martial arts.

Kickboxing Your Way Through: The Pattern of the Class
A typical kickboxing session begins by the instructor familiarizing the
students with the different basic moves. This is done by beginning with
some relaxed movements. A warm up session of roughly five minutes follows,
in which the student tries out the newly learned moves. The next step is to
stretch the muscles. During this, equal focus is given to the important
muscle groups in your body.

Then, follows the proper kickboxing session, in which the learner tries
out zigzag strikes, knee punches, cross movements, shadow boxing, jabs and so on. This session follows a regular repetitive format; so that the pattern of the movements gradually gets imprinted in the learner’s mind, and he/she can relax without bothering to remember the moves. This crucial session is for about forty minutes.
The final session is the calming down session. Mild abdomen-toning exercises are practiced during this time. The learner waits for his/her pulse to slow down, and then repeats stretching exercises as a relaxant. The whole class takes as long as one and a half hours. Be a Kickboxing Champion at Bruce McCorry’s Academy
Can’t wait to check out the miracles of Cardio Kickboxing? Bruce McCorry’s
Academy of Martial Arts (Peabody, MA) is the right place.

After School Programs Martial Arts North Shore Ma


The Importance of After School Programs 
written by: Master McCorry 

According to After School Alliance, a non-profit venture, in Massachusetts
alone, 3 children out of 10 spends his/her after school hours without
proper adult supervision. In a child’s day-to-day life, the time from 3 to
6 PM holds special importance. If used well, these hours have the potential
to be the most productive. At the same time, these hours also run the risk
of being dangerous if not used well. That is why most educationists, child
psychologists and social workers emphasis the need of an after school
program for every kid. There are many reasons why you should choose an
after school program for your kid.

Safety and After School Programs Safety of your child is an important reason why experts recommend after school programs. The instances of crimes in after school hours have increased as high as fifty per cent from past years, according to the data collected by Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority
. This crime list is
topped by juvenile crimes and violence against children. The kids and teens
mostly involved in these – either as victims or as villains – are those
kids who don’t have a secure place to spend their after school hours. Think
for a moment: a trustworthy after school program can prevent your kid from
taking the wrong path.

After school Programs: Is it really worth it? Yes it is. The promises of after school programs being productive are not mere claims. If your kid is enrolled in a beneficial after school program, for example music, martial arts or painting, your kid gets an opportunity to learn something different apart from their boring school curriculum. By the time he/she reaches college, chances are that he/she would have become an expert in an extracurricular activity. On one hand, this can be a great relaxation technique; on the flip side, it can actually be an asset when they are seeking admission for higher education. Budget Cuts: Another Reason to Choose After School Courses

Worried about the costs? Here is a bit of good news. From 2009 onward, the
government is making an effort to bring after school programs to the home
budgets of common people. The Massachusetts legislature made a big step in
this regard by voting for a fifteen persent hike in Afterschool and
Out-of-School Time Grant. Another people-friendly decision by the
Massachusetts government was to invest three million in the Gateway Cities
After-school Academies. In 2013, people witnessed Governor’s STEM network
holding hands with the Massachusetts After-school Partnership. All these
schemes aim at transforming after school courses to an affordable reality
for Massachusetts families.

After school Programs in Martial Arts

then martial arts is what he or she wants. Childhood is the perfect time to
start learning martial arts. It can make your kid strong, self-confident

in many ways. During this age, the kids start learning the basics of the
following:

-Fundamental motor skills, molding of character communicative skills, most
importantly listening and speaking social skills such as interacting and
mingling with others and working together and developing friendships

-Learning the basics of martial arts at this tender age can do a lot of
good to your kid. Martial arts help him/her to be physically coordinated.

self-confident. Their interactions with others make them both socially
active and expressive.

After-School Martial Arts Program

After-School Martial Arts Programs to Counter Bullying
written by: Bruce McCorry's Martial Arts

Does your child always come back from school with a sullen face? Does he
or she try to miss school as much as possible, often making lame excuses?
Beware. The reason can be bullying. According to Dan Olweus, the famous
Norwegian educationist, bullying occurs when a person causes "injury or
discomfort" to another one by physical contact or by words. Bullying is one
of the hazardous menaces that corrupt our classrooms today.

Bullying: Realizing Facts and Spotting the Damage

If you think that your child cannot be a victim of bullying, think again.
Many surveys show that kids who behave in a dominant and assertive way in
their homes are actually timid, introvert and vulnerable in their
classrooms. Take a look at these facts:

-It is estimated that out of every four child, at least one is a victim of
bullying
-ChildLine received 31,599 calls during the last year from children
seeking help over bullying, according to a survey conducted by NSPCC
-Tellus4 National Report showed that 18% of the bullied children either
did not dare to talk about it to their parents or didn't want the parents
to know about it 


If you suspect that your child is bullied, here are some easy ways to spot
it.

-Does your child come home with bruises, damaged clothes and lost items?
-Does s/he try to miss school if possible, often complaining of illness?
-Does s/he choose a different route to reach home?
-Do your kid's grades spot a sudden decline?
-Do you think your child is suffering from depression and nightmares?
If the answer to these questions is yes, then it is time for you to confront your child and help him/her out of the situation.
Bullying and Martial Arts: Preventing Bullying through Martial Arts The best thing you can do is to find a solid solution which your child can depend on. Martial art is one such solution. The incredible ways in which martial arts empower kids has been scientifically studied and advised. Martial arts make children more self confident and develop their self-worth. If they are bullied, they realize that something unfair is going on, and they do not hesitate to resist it. They share it with teachers or parents. Martial arts make children less timid and less introvert. They happily start taking part in activities and do not remain an odd-man-out any more. Martial arts make kids physically strong. Other kids start respecting them and they cease to be the target of a bully. Instructing your kid in any martial art can be a suitable way out of the bullying issues that he or she faces.
