The Dangers of Bullying: The Dirty Details that Everyone Must Know

The Nightmare of Bullying: Dangers, Consequences and Solutions
Written by Bruce McCorry's Martial Arts Academy
(Peabody, Massachusetts)



Recent research in educational psychology has proved that a healthy and peaceful emotional life in the school years is an important factor that determines the kind of human being that your child will grow up into. The sad reality is that such a peaceful childhood is not something that most children get to enjoy these days. The greatest threat to a peaceful school life in the 21st century is nothing other than the nightmare of bullying. As long as bullying continues to be an inescapable reality of our classrooms, we all need to fight a battle to ensure emotionally peaceful and rich school life for our children.


The Dangers of Bullying: The Dirty Details that Everyone Must Know

Even today, there are adults who are not much bothered about bullying because they believe that it would not impact their kids beyond their school years. But this is wrong. It is important to take a look at the dirty details of bullying and bust many such adult myths. Here are some of them:


  • Bullying is not a temporary problem that a child will get over after the school years. Its negative impacts could last a lifetime. There are people who suffer from lack of confidence, shyness and depression through their lives because they encountered or engaged with bullying in childhood.
  • Bullying could result in consequences that demand professional help. The aftereffects of bullying could be anything from lack of enthusiasm and loss of confidence to depression. It is a major factor that results in teen suicide attempts. Sometimes it is important to get medical or psychiatric help if your kid is being bullied or is a bully.
  • Unlike what many people believe, bullying harms the bully as much as the victim. Therefore the usual adult approach in which we support the victim and punish the bully should be discouraged. Both the victim and the bully should be given help that can assist them from within.
  • Bullying is not restricted to classrooms. We often think that children are not under the threat of bullying when they are out of schools. But every unsupervised space where children get together presents the chance of bullying. This could be anywhere, anytime: the transport to and from the school, afterschool hours, parties, parks, sleepovers. Bullying could happen even within one's home, among siblings or cousins and let's not forget to mention CYBER-BULLYING, where the bullying take it to even further levels, ONLINE!.



A Right Solution: Martial Arts to Fight Bullying

Only a solution that which addresses all of these concerns can ideally prevent bullying. Martial arts could be such a solution. Martial arts prepares the victim physically and mentally to stand up for themselves and others. This is the only way to prevent bullying that might happen at any unsupervised space or circumstance. In professional martial arts programs for kids like the ones offered by Bruce McCorry's Academy, the syllabus specifically focuses on self-defense to help kids to combat bullying. Here, martial arts helps to fight against bullying in two ways: it makes a potential victim more confident, whereas it helps to temper a potential bully by directing his/her energy to positive pursuits.  Martial arts training is the only way you can make sure that your child lives a stress-free childhood, free of the threat of bullying.

The Proven Facts on Martial Arts and Autistic People

National Autistim Month - The Proven Facts on Martial Arts and Autistic People
written by: Bruce McCorry's Martial Arts
www.brucemccorrys.com



Autism has become a word that we encounter intermittently in our lives. April is a significant month for those who are diagnosed with autism and for those who engage with people in the autistic spectrum because for the past 25 years, April is being observed as the National Autism Awareness Month under the auspices of Autism Society. April 2 also marks the United Nations’ Autism Day. The Autism Month and the Autism Day exhorts to cultivate an attitude that is positively active, accepting and inclusive toward the cause of autism. 

 Exploring Solutions of the 21st Century: Autism and Martial Arts
Our clinical, neurological and psychological understanding of the causes and behavioral symptoms of autism has come a long way. As we have arrived at the 2017 Autism Awareness Month, it is high time we discussed new and out-of-the-box ways of engaging with autism. Our explorations on the basis of the latest research point toward the possibility of martial arts as a likely new solution for improving the lives of people diagnosed with autism.

 What follows is a brief account of the proven facts on autism and martial arts, based on the latest research in science and medicine drawn from the last decade:

  •  By 2014, a few cutting edge studies carried out by the University of Wisconsin-Lacrosse discovered a clear advantage for autistic martial art learners in dealing with the physical and social symptoms of autism. 
  • · These discoveries prompted many martial artists diagnosed under the autistic spectrum to come forward and disclose their positive experiences with martial while living with autism. One such article which gained a huge response was the one written by Jonathan Victory, a martial artist with Asperger’s for the online magazine As I Am.
  • · Two years later in 2016, the paper produced by F. Bahrami (Isfahan University, Iran) argued the importance of Karate in improving communication abilities in autistic children
  • · Journal of Exercise Rehabilitation published 2016 study by Y. Kim et al which proved the positive impact of Taekwondo on the physical coordination and balance in autistic kids
  • · In 2017, E. Paul Zehr, writing for Psychology Today, explored the numerous ways in which patterned training in martial arts helps to resolve repetitive behavior in people with ASD (Autistic Spectrum Disorder)
  •  Perhaps autism might not have yet found a once-and-forever cure in martial arts or any other solution for that matter, but these new explorations conducted post 2010 surely indicate how martial arts is getting acknowledged in medical circles as a proven activity that can greatly improve the quality of life of those in the autistic spectrum.

 Martial Arts Lessons for Persons with Autism
According to modern research, the neurological impact of martial arts is shown to improve three major aspects for those with autism: physical aspects like balance and motor coordination, the abilities to decipher social cues and communicate, and thirdly the behavioral symptoms of autism like patterned activities. A successful martial arts program for people with autism should be able to tap these three major benefits that martial art has to offer. Bruce McCorry’s Academy (Peabody, MA) runs an effective martial art course for people with autism focusing on these focal points. The special needs program draws upon the research in martial arts, psychology, neurology and medicine to provide an unparalleled experience that will change the life of people with autism. Suggesting the solution of martial arts to a person with autism could be the life-changing act that you may do this April.
