The Importance of an After School Program: 

Try Success with Bruce McCorry's Academy!

For most parents, parenting is an experience worth loving and cherishing. But if there's something which makes it a daily struggle and affair of concern, it is the worries of the safety and success of your children. Because their safety and success is so very important to you, it is fundamental that you should know about the dilemma that is after school hours. 

The After School Dilemma: Why Parents Should Be Concerned
If you believe that the after school hours of your kids are not a matter of worry to you, you are still to know the facts. Several psychological studies and statistical data show why children should not be left all alone until parents return from their work. Children who spend hours alone in home could develop any number of problems from depression and habitual issues to electronic addiction and binge eating. Household accidents are also reported more during the after school hours.

The chances of kids spending their time in after school hangouts and streets are also not to be taken lightly. Street violence, bullying and assault attempts tend to touch the peak during these hours, and the less your child involves himself/herself with those the better. It is because of these reasons that child psychologists and education experts stress the need for an after school course.

The Other Side: the Constructive Use of After School Hours
Though every after school program can offer a safe sanctuary for your child in the after school hours, not every program can ensure the constructive use of those hours. That's where a landmark program like Bruce McCorry's AMP (After School Martial Arts Program) becomes different.

Being a course that has recognition at national level, the AMP effectively attempts to fit in martial arts and personality development into the after school hours. It does not burden your child with additional mental activity that can exhaust them after school, but it craftily puts together martial arts, activities, games, meditation and personality building, thus becoming a unique way to spend the time after school.

An after school program with a difference like the Bruce McCorry's AMP is worth trying out due to a number of factors. It awakens your children from the hours which they slog before television and video games and inspires them to do activities that are physically vibrant. There's nothing better to ensure a healthy and fit lifestyle to your child right from childhood. It is also shown that martial arts can be of use to the academic life of kids as it teaches them a wide variety of study skills, thinking skills and time management. AMP teaches kids how to be self-confident and speak up for themselves, values without which it is not possible to make way through a thoroughly extroverted culture like ours. The self-confidence, courage and defensive skills from AMP will help kids to deal with a wide variety of problems like bullying, stress and peer pressure.

Bruce McCorry's AMP is a popular program to which kids eagerly come every year. Along with the quality of the program, another factor which attracts young learners is the amiable atmosphere created by friendly and experienced instructors and encouraging peers and seniors. Because the safety your kids are the concern of the Academy as well, there are a number of additional facilities for those who want them. A highlight example is the transport from daily school to the academy at affordable rates. Bruce McCorry's After School Program is for all those who want to ensure the success and safety of their kids.

The Miracles of Tai Chi

Martial Arts as Therapy: The Miracles of Tai Chi

written by: Bruce McCorry's Martial Arts Academy

The Health Turn in the History of Tai Chi
When the martial art of Tai Chi was invented four centuries ago, no one would have expected it to work wonders with the kind of health issues that will plague a society that will live in the 21st century. This is exactly the wonder story that this martial art has to offer. This Chinese martial art, which was China's gift to the world, was born out of the heritages of Chen family in China. Nevertheless it achieved global success and took the world by storm with its amazing potential to be of help to modern medicine.

The Tai Chi Miracle: Working Wonders with Modern Medicine
It fell to the responsibility of a number of modern researchers who worked with the possibility of alternate healing programs for terminal and serious illnesses to unearth a face of Tai Chi that was yet not explored. This new research, at the break of 20th century argued that despite the numerous health, fitness and stress-relief qualities that are already attributed to Tai Chi, it has a strand within it which can be effectively manipulated to work with modern medicine. Once it was argued that Tai Chi could be a clinically effective form of martial art therapy, soon the research unearthed how it could benefit patients with Parkinson's disease, bone density issues, osteoarthritis and osteoporosis. 

Martial Arts Therapy - Tai Chi and the Possibilities of Cancer Healing
For a long time, it was generally agreed that martial arts like Tai Chi could help survivors of cancer by providing them with courage of mind, strength of will and stress relief. But apart from being an alternate healing technique that can aid clinical medicine, does Tai Chi have a power of its own?

In the efforts of Bruce McCorry's Academy (Peabody, MA) to walk with the times in martial art therapy research, it was exactly this gem of thought that we stumbled upon. Recent studies by Linda Carson, University of Calgary illustrated the possibility of Tai Chi methods bringing about changes in the cellular functioning of cancer patients, which means that it could be one possible way of battling cancer. MD Anderson Center for Cancer Research and the Fudan University (Shang Hai) conducted elongated studies on cancer survivors, which suggested that practicing Tai Chi, or Qi Gong as it was called by these researchers, could bring about notable changes in the physical and mental difficulties such as sleeplessness, depression, fatigue and stress.

Holding Hands with Research: Tai Chi as Therapy in the Bruce McCorry's Methods
Bruce McCorry's Academy, which will soon celebrate its golden jubilee, is one of the long-standing and foremost martial art schools in Massachusetts. One of the reasons for the success of Bruce McCorry's Academy is the way in which it has incorporated changes and blended the best of tradition with modern research in these past decades.

Under the same impulse, Tai Chi lessons in the academy now also focus on the therapeutic merit of this art form for those who need that extra touch of care and taught by Master Bruce McCorry himself. Bruce McCorry's Tai Chi lessons attempt to work with meditation, martial art therapy and regular body movements to explore the clinical benefits of Tai Chi. Its method that seeks to recapture the qi (or the vital life power in Chinese tradition) from the art of Qi Gong is already changing the lives of its learners. Those who will benefit from that additional touch of care in their success story against illnesses will definitely find something in this program that will be of use to them.
