Preschooler Martial Arts at its Best

Little Ninja's Martial Arts Program by Bruce McCorry's Martial Arts 

How many times have you spotted your toddler imitating the thrilling moves s/he spotted in the last Karate movie s/he saw? All children, whether girls or boys, enjoy trying out the action moves they spot in television, movies and comics at least once in a while. This points to one interesting aspect in child psychology – how martial arts, and the moves associated with it, might appear to a child as a source of power, security and one’s own ability at one point of time.





Do you want to realize your young champ’s dream? The safest and the most productive way for this is to choose martial arts lessons for them. Martial arts in a preschooler age have many more advantages than we usually understand.

Martial Art for your Little Ninja
Martial arts for Developing Coordination Before 5 years, a child develops physical coordination, motor skills and balance. Learning martial arts at this age can make them perfectly coordinated persons who are good at sports, dance, athletics and other fields which need body-mind coordination. They never make lousy drivers, as well!


Martial Arts and Life Skills
As a preschooler, your child is about to be exposed to a new world of competition and bustle. Martial arts will teach them a lot of skills which will guide them through. Martial arts can instill in them self-confidence, punctuality, socially cordial behavior, mutual respect, the spirit of working as a team and orderliness. These values, once learned, will be always there for them. In their schoolwork, in the way in which they approach challenges in life, in their future relationships, the way the keep their family bonds – there is no field in their life where martial arts does not leave a mark.

Martial Arts as a Source of Empowerment
The young children, often psychologically associate with martial arts as something that gives them power, protection, self-defense possibilities and assertiveness. This is true for both girls and boys. Often, to a young child who learns martial arts, it becomes a space where they can actually prove themselves. The applause's and encouragement they get as youngsters give them a lot of courage to course their way through life.


Laying the Foundation of Future Martial Arts

Meet Michael Walke – A Young Champion Moving Fast Toward Success

Meet Michael Walke – A Young Champion Moving Fast Toward Success 

For many, it takes time to recognize one’s passion, and to understand what you really want to do with your life. That is why the story of Michael Walke, a young and enthusiastic martial artist from Bruce McCorry’s Academy, becomes both inspiring and different. Because, he is one who knew what to do in his life, and stood up for his passion. 



As a child, Michael knew that he was not one for usual sports, and his passion was not sports. “I used to believe I was unathletic and that I should not do sports, due to the fact that I did not have any motivation,” says Michael. “People used to tell me that I should do sports, and if I did not have one, I was lazy.” At a very young age, he was brilliant enough to recognize and challenge the way in which people stereotype anything other than sports as an activity of the lazy.

In Michael’s life, the most significant moment of assertion came, when his parents thought he can do well in football. Michael’s remembrance of the incident exudes the thrill of a person who finally came face to face what he/she actually wants. “At the end of fifth grade, I was being forced by my dad to play football,” he says. “My mother and I went to the signup list at the high school. My heart pounded as she grabbed the pen to sign me up. I turned to my mother, pen in hand, and asked for one thing, that I don’t want to do football and whether I could do something else.” When his mother asked then what he would like to do, it became for Michael what he describes the “defining moment”, when he finally made up his mind. “What I said here spelled out what hobby I was going to do the rest of my life. I said Karate.”


As a fifth grader, Michael’s life was only beginning when he decided to spell out his dream. The search for a place where he could learn the love of his life brought Michael and his parents to Bruce McCorry’s Academy. “We found Bruce McCorry’s Martial Arts,” says Michael, with the smile of a winner who knew he reached the right place, “I did not expect in then, but it was all going to change after my first day of Karate”. Bruce McCorry’s became that destination for Michael, where he could learn his art in a professional manner. Lessons at Bruce McCorry’s academy have refined the spark of martial art that was already there in him. This fall, he is preparing for the test for his Black Belt. A young champion, he is moving fast toward success.


In a school essay, where he speaks out his mind on the most defining moment of his life, Michael passionately asks: “How would you feel if you did not know what you wanted to do in life? One of the most important experiences in my life was when I started to do Karate because I knew this is what I wanted to do in my life…” His words, which speak with the genuineness and dedication far above his years, display something which is above the material recognition's and awards. Something which Master McCorry looks for in his Black Belts, something that is rare to find among the kids of his age. The positive spirit that only martial arts can foster in a dedicated student.
