Staying Fit during the Holidays with Bruce McCorry's Martial Arts

Workout during Holidays

Santa is coming to town and it is once again time for holidays, shopping,
celebration and fun. For many, holidays are an opportunity to take a break
from everything they have been doing for a year – be it work, school or
exercise. Holidays are a time when rules are relaxed.

Well, taking a break from your hectic schedule is fine, but what about
taking a break from your workout as well? Studies show that working out
regularly and then suddenly stopping it for a period – usually the holidays
– is unhealthy for your body. Such a pattern usually slows down your
metabolism. Every time you stop working out, chances of gaining weight are
higher. Every time you restart it, there are fewer chances of you losing
weight again.

Holidays are also a season when you relax your diet habits. Most of us
don’t mind eating richer and larger meals – after all, it’s the holidays!
This habit calls for the fact that you should give more attention to your
health during this time.

Martial Arts – A Holiday Solution?
If we face the facts, none of us are inclined to work out during holidays.
We are either too relaxed, or too busy thinking of shopping and planning,
that even thinking about exercising becomes difficult. But what if we opt
for something easier and fun? Martial arts can be a solution.


Even light martial arts like Karate, Kung Fu, Tai Chi and Taekwondo can be
a powerful alternate for heavy exercise. Martial arts will help you to
remain physically fit and strong. They will sooth your mind and rejuvenate
it after a whole year of stressful working. Martial arts will recharge your
body and mind alike so that you will be better prepared to face your work
better when it comes to the end of the holidays. It will also make sure
that your year-long workout plan doesn’t suffer a break in between.

If you choose to learn martial arts with your friends or family, it can
also be a fun pastime during the holidays. In fact, most of the people who
start martial art practice during the holidays cannot resist continuing it
even after their work and school has restarted. They maintain their martial
arts practice, some as a hobby, some others as a refuge from their
stressing work.

Martial Arts: The Perfect Holiday Gift For Everyone

 Why Martial Arts Is The Perfect Holiday Gift For Everyone

written by: Master McCorry

The Holiday's are now here, and people are now trying very hard to find
the perfect give for their friends and family members. However, what people
fail to realize is that the best gifts that people get do not always come
from a gift box. There are many gifts people can give to those they love
the most, and one of those gifts might literally change their lives forever
is the gift of Martial Arts classes. For people who live in the Peabody,
Massachusetts and surrounding areas, Bruce McCorry’s Martial Art Classes
are available for them, and here are a few reasons on why it might just be
the perfect gift for everyone, from young children to elderly adults. 

A Way for the Family to Stay in Shape

There is no better way for a family to spend quality time together and get
in shape at the same time than with martial arts. The family can exercise
together, practice the moves and techniques together, and if someone is
having a hard time, the other members of the family can step in and help
them. A family should spend quality time together, and taking a martial
arts class can make that happen.

Making Friends Through Martial Arts

For kids who take martial arts classes, there is no better way for them to
make friends, especially for children who have a problem with being
extremely shy. Martial arts classes can help for shy children to come out
of their shell, and the highly experienced staff member's at Bruce
McCorry's proud themselves in working with kids and helping them overcome
their shyness while they learn about martial arts and how to make friends
with others. This holds true for Adults as well. Not to mention, it's also
really fun.

Improves Coordination and Strength

Some children are naturally clumsy and uncoordinated because their bodies
are still growing to gain it's balance. However, martial arts classes can
help kids gain better control over their young bodies. After a few martial
arts classes, clumsy children will have more balance, coordination, and
they will carry themselves much better instead of falling and tripping all
over everything. Adults, as well as the elderly will grow stronger core's,
increasing their balance, coordination and strength which will make them
less prone to injury. 

Children Will Learn Discipline

Children that are taking martial art classes will learn discipline of both
their mind and their body. Martial arts can teach children all about
discipline. Your child gets unique attention and a healthy competitive
atmosphere which no other institution can boast of. What makes the academy
special, the programs are not a mere course in martial arts; it is a
complete character development program. Parents and school teachers can
only do so much to teach children discipline, but enrolling them in martial
arts classes can teach them all about it in many different and fun ways.


The Gift that Keeps on Giving


For the holiday season, people are sometimes at a loss for what to give as
gifts to those they love. However, the best gift that people can give is
something not found in any catalog or retail store, and that is martial
arts classes. Martial arts is the gift that keeps on giving because it can
teach people discipline, keep them in shape, keeps you away from lifestyle
diseases, prevents problems such as obesity and lack of concentration and
brings families closer together. Christmas is the season of giving gifts
from the heart, and the gift of martial arts classes can do more for people
then they could possibly imagine.
