Karate Exercise for Kids - Best Choice

The Importance of Exercise for your Kids: Karate - The Perfect All-Around Choice

Written by: Bruce McCorry's Martial Arts Academy

Exercise, Health and Happiness: The Need of the Hour

Considering the kind of hectic life that school going children lead these days, parents often have to deliberately choose what is right and healthy for them. As a parent, you might be quite at ease at organizing your child’s schedule. But setting up a rigorous schedule that incorporates entertainment and studies completes only a part of what a child’s body and mind needs. A healthy lifestyle, which enables your child to develop physically and mentally, becomes possible only when you incorporate engaging physical activities to his or her schedule. 

But as parents, you might also know how difficult it is to get your youngster off the couch and get him/her to do some physical exercise. Often, regulating your kid’s schedule involves cutting back on a number of things that he or she may love – video games, television, computer or texting. Fitting exercise into these slots is not an easy task, as no child will be willing to sacrifice his/her happy time for something which they do not enjoy. Is there anything that you can do as parents?

Exercise For Your Kids - Karate, the All-Around Choice

This is where martial arts becomes the key to your child’s health and development. The great role martial arts can play in the health, fitness and immunity of children is a scientifically proven fact. One efficient example would be Karate. Experts and doctors unanimously agree on the potential of Karate in promoting child health. Karate can improve immunity against common childhood illnesses. It has been shown to contribute to long-term health as well. In the long run, learners of martial arts, Karate-learners in particular, show greater resistance to silent threats like hypertension and diabetes. Karate learners also show lesser chances to develop obesity in later life. Even childhood obesity can be checked to a great extent through Karate.

But perhaps the greatest merit of martial arts like Karate is that it is as much fun as it is efficient. Children who opt to learn Karate and other martial arts at Bruce McCorry’s Academy (Peabody, MA) often speak of how they find their martial art lessons as much fun as or even more enjoyable than the activities they used to do before joining Karate. Efficiency always lies in a person’s own motivation to be part of something. And that is why at places like Bruce McCorry’s Academy, we see kids returning to learn new courses and programs, simply because they enjoy the engaging lessons. There is no better way to motivate your child to do exercise than a friendly learning space.

How Important is Martial Arts?

It is not just important; it is also your responsibility as a parent to make sure that your child engages in healthy exercise for at least sixty minutes a day. A very recent study by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention maintained that around 18% of the children between 5 and 11 years of age suffer from obesity in the United States. May be this is not as much disheartening as the fact that the number of children who suffer from lifestyle problems like obesity are on the increase in the past years. The role played by lack of physical activity in this is very large. It is both the recommendation of doctors and your duty as a parent to choose the right healthy lifestyle for your kid, without excuses. Make the choice now!

In honor of Breast Cancer Month - Statistics on meditation and energy healing

In honor of Breast Cancer Month - Statistics on Meditation and Energy Healing 

 Written by: Bruce McCorry's Martial Arts

Breast cancer is the second most common form of malignancy that is seen among American women. All over the world, the month of October is observed as the breast cancer awareness month, aimed at spreading awareness regarding breast cancer, reducing the risk of life involved in the illness, and conveying the words of hope and happiness to the survivors. Thanks to the unrelenting effort of anti-Cancer medical activists, improved health and lifestyle facilities, more and more women are aware today that if you are above fifty, one mammogram in two years can actually help you to lead better, secure and happy lives. 

The Potential of Alternative Cures: Meditation and Energy Healing

While honoring the great contribution made by modern scientific research and allopathy in identifying, treating and healing breast cancer, it is also wise to look into the great potential that some alternative or complementary healing practices like meditation and energy healing have in treating breast cancer.

The breakthrough in cancer research came with an influential paper by researchers from the University of Calgary, Canada in 2014. The team headed by Linda E. Carlson successfully argued that mindfulness-based methods like meditation and energy healing as well as the aid of support groups has a material role in cancer recovery. Out of the 88 survivors of breast cancer, subjected to study by the research team, those who took meditation and the help of support groups found differences at the cellular level, which was a milestone in their research.

Until then, these alternate healing practices were mostly considered just complementary to medicinal treatment. But this study and a number of works that followed in the last two years showed how mind-focus methods can physically enhance cancer healing at a cellular level. This is a developing area of research that has many more achievements still to come.

This aspect of mind healing in fact adds to the original potential attributed to these methods. While modern cancer treatment like radiation and chemotherapy are widely used and effective in many instances, meditation and energy healing support and motivate the patient through the treatment period. While the former places its focus on concentration, mind focus and calming of mind, the latter places its emphasis on regulating and concentrating bodily energy in specific ways to help the healing process. Thus meditation and energy healing both physically aids cancer recovery and also imparts courage, positive mindset and willpower to the patient.
