Martial Arts for Parents and Children

Why All Parents and their Children Should be Enrolled in Martial Arts



Martial arts is perhaps a sport around which the most number of myths have built on over years. Perhaps that is why many adults, especially parents, tend to hold often contradictory beliefs about martial arts. Some consider it a downright children’s sport in which adults have no role to play, while some call it too dangerous and destructive to send their children into. The reality is that both are myths which need to be busted, and we need to rethink martial arts for parents and children in potentially productive ways.


Martial Arts: Why Parents Should Say Yes to It
A word to all those parents who staunchly believe that martial art is a child’s affair: there is much in it for adults in general and parents in particular. Adults who learn martial arts have found in it a lifelong companion that would keep them healthy, fit, confident, strong and stress-free. This is particularly true for parents. Parents have much to gain from learning martial arts. It helps them to obtain the physical vibrancy and freedom from everyday worries – exactly what they need to make the most of the time they spend with their children. It teaches them the presence of mind to deal with everyday parenting situations. Best of all, martial arts can transform you to an ideal role model for your child – physically fit and emotionally poised mothers and fathers whom your kids can look up to.

Children and the Benefits of Martial Arts
If you think that martial arts are too dangerous or physically demanding for your child to take up, that too is a myth which has to be busted. In good schools, martial arts can be chosen in customized ways where the instructor will teach exactly what your child needs and he/she can take. It teaches not the vices of fighting or conflict, but the values of mutual courtesy, respect and trust. It teaches kids to work with others and take failures without crying over them. Additionally, martial arts can activate certain areas of the brain of children and give them intellectual skills that will help them to shine in academics. It is also a booster of athletic, kinetic and physical abilities of your champion.

Bruce McCorry’s Martial Arts Academy, a martial arts school that stays ahead of time, has come up with effective martial art lessons for parents and children.

Self Defense Classes for All Ages at Bruce McCorry's Martial Arts

Self Defense Classes for All Ages at Bruce McCorry's Martial Arts Academy


It isn't today or yesterday that feminists of our country started talking about a rape culture that is in growth. A term once used to describe the fearful ways in which violence against women was normalized in a society has taken appalling dimensions in our contemporary reality. We have grown into what can be called an assault culture, where not just rape, but all kinds of violence and assault are on the rise and are legitimized. Without belittling the women's question, it is evident that children, teens, seniors and all other disadvantaged sections of the society are not free from the clutches of assault.

Self Defense: A Motto for Our Times?
According to Worldwide Sexual Assault Stats, one-third of American women have experienced sexual abuse at least once. Bureau of Justice Statistics give a more gender-neutral insight. It pitches the number of men and women annually raped in our colleges at above 65000. Childhelp.org places the number of child maltreatments between 4 to 7 every day. It was just five years back that Center for Disease Control maintained that around 4800 teenagers were victims of homicide.

The brief statistics above sketches a time when social spaces are getting riskier every day, and not many people have time for others. In such an age, the importance of self defense is more than what can be gauged. Because, everyone from the school going child to the senior in the safety of his/her home is in need of the art of defending themselves.

Martial Arts: The All-rounder Self Defense for the Entire Family
One self defense that can be easily picked up and effectively used by everyone in the family is martial arts. It is one of the most pliant of all self defense techniques that can adapt itself to the capabilities and aptitudes of those who learn them.

Martial arts builds physical strength, quick reflex response and confidence in its learners. Martial arts teaches you how to overpower assaulters and defend yourself in a professional and safe way. In the unofficial experiences and testimonials collected by martial arts experts, there is a considerable reduction in the number of abuse among women who have learnt martial arts. It teaches children and teenagers to fight back bullying and hazing. It also works for you by calming your agitated mind and giving you a calm composure in the face of emergencies.

Please contact us promptly to guarantee seats.
(978) 535-7878

We proudly offer Transportation from the Schools to the Academy.

16 years ago, Sandra Feldman, the former president of American Federation of Teachers pointed out that our education system needs to create more learning time for those kids who are actually in need of it. What she pointed to was the inadequacy of school education to meet the needs of children, or to provide enough time for their overall development. As an answer, the last two decades have witnessed the emergence of thousands of extended learning programs that let children learn at their own pace skills which are ignored by school curriculums. The most popular of these courses are after school programs, thanks to their convenient time slot and their many advantages.

Bruce McCorry’s After School Martial Arts: Extended Learning with a Difference
The hunt for an after school program that really makes a difference has led many parents to Bruce McCorry’s Academy. After School Martial Arts Program (AMP) was born out of the conviction that martial art, when taught at the afterschool hours, has many added benefits for the children. Here are some of the highlights of the Bruce McCorry’s course that makes it the perfect after school program for your child:

* AMP has the unique fusion of physically vibrant martial arts and mentally refreshing activities. It energizes your child after a tiring school day and helps to refresh his/her brain and body.


* AMP is a daily compensation for the lack of physical activities. Children who practice daily martial art develop enhanced immunity level and a strong, fit, healthy body. 

* There are many values ingrained to the structure of a course like AMP. Discipline, self-restraint, cooperation, friendship and trust are some of them. It is a holistic program for character formation.

* Confidence and courage are two core values of this course. AMP gives children the courage to present themselves before a crowd, defend their opinions, and stand up for their beliefs. 

* Unsurprisingly, AMP has helped kids to resist a number of challenges in their everyday lives such as peer pressure, stress from school work and bullying. It will also teach them how to face challenging situations in the years to come.

* Children at the AMP develop social skills as the Academy provides a socially alive campus where children can interact with their instructors, senior students, same-aged peers and younger children.

* Ultimately, afterschool martial arts help children to shine in all walks of their life. It is particularly beneficial for a better performance in academics, sports and athletics.

Martial Arts and More: Bruce McCorry’s AMP for Success
While most after school programs confine themselves to a single field, Bruce McCorry’s AMP is different. Martial art sessions are definitely the life of the program, however, it also blends in activities, exercises for personality development, lessons for self-improvement and playtime. With added offers like transport facility, it is the safest and the most secure space for your child to spend his/her afterschool hours.


Designed by veteran educators, AMP is a first-grade skill development course that has recognition all over United States. There is no doubt that this is a much eligible alternative to standard afterschool daycare. Only at Bruce McCorry's, www,brucemccorrys.com

Martial Arts Summer Workshops


Bruce McCorry's Martial Arts Summer Workshops
written by: Bruce McCorry's Martial Arts



Summer is uncritically accepted as the best months in a child's year. After all, it is the time when they are free from the burden of school – a time that can be productively used for playtime, reading, crafts and activities that will develop their potential and creativity. 

The Productive and Happy Summer: Is it a Myth? The question to be asked is, is summer really as glorious as it appears to children? Just take a look at these stats:

* Parents doubt whether summer is a productive time at all (Duffett et al in 2004)

* Children's body mass index shoots up two times than normal during summer, indicating summer weight gain (Hippel et al in 2007) 

* Learning loss is a challenge during summer, as children forget what they learned and lose the skills to learn (Downey et al in 2004)

* Though summer reading is celebrated, the fact is that summer reading loss is so high and cumulative that it cannot be caught up even during fall (Bright Hub Education)

* Both weather hazards and instances of violence are reported more during summer (CDS)

What these stats eventually show is not that summer is inherently an unproductive time. Without doubts, these are the months when children have enough time to do as they please. It has the potential to be productive. But the way children make use of it, sitting idly before television and video games, they are actually ruining some of the best months of their lives.

Rewriting the Myth - Bruce McCorry's Martial Arts Summer Workshops
One way to reclaim the productivity of summer months is through martial arts. Most martial art schools provide summer martial arts in the form of summer workshops. One of the most sought-after examples in Massachusetts is the summer martial arts workshops at Bruce McCorry's, Peabody MA.

The summer program is a celebrated academy attended by hundreds of children every year, and it offers much more than just martial arts. A peek into the functioning of Bruce McCorry's Summer Workshops can answer the challenges posed above:

* At Bruce McCorry's Summer Workshops, regular sessions of enjoyable and effective martial arts provide kids with enough physical activity. This keeps off summer weight gain.

* Both martial art sessions and the activities at the summer workshops are aimed to sharpen the skills of quick thinking, decision making, calculation and reasoning. Martial arts sharpen the learning skills and prevent learning loss.

* As the testimonials of parents prove, the Bruce McCorry's Summer Workshops is one place where they can safely leave their children, as we give primary importance to safety. Parents can be assured that their children enjoy their summer months safely and productively.

* Reading sessions, arts , craft and playtime make the summer camp a productive and creative alternative for your child's idle home summer

The summer martial arts workshops at Bruce McCorry's Academy is the right blend of customized martial arts, playtime, activities, field trips, reading sessions, arts and crafts and much more. Children often certify how the months at Bruce McCorry's Summer Workshops have given them the most cherished experiences of life. You can be assured that your little one will emerge out the summer program as confident, healthy, bright and happy, with a positive view of life.
