Tai Chi and Qi Gong are two variants of an Asian martial art form developed four centuries back in China. However, to the wonders of modern medicine, this ancient martial arts were shown to be carrying within them the key to unlock many of the dilemmas faced by 21st century medicine: lifestyle diseases and terminal illnesses. Bruce McCorry’s Academy’s (Peabody, MA) own attempt to combine the martial arts of Tai Chi/Qi Gong with the effective technique of energy healing has shown amazing results for those who battle different kind of illnesses. If you are fighting a health concern and think that nothing can improve your life, may be your answer lies in this miracle combo initiated by the Bruce McCorry’s martial arts team.

Clinical Benefits of Tai Chi-Qi Gong: The Magic Martial Art of Modern Medicine
Modern clinical research into Tai Chi/Qi Gong has discovered a number of clinical contexts where the martial arts can offer great help. General medical work on martial arts pointed out how they can broadly help with health, fitness and stress-relief, which holds true in the case of Tai Chi and Qi Gong as well. In addition, one group of researchers who examined Tai Chi/Qi Gong in particular as alternate healing systems pointed out that regular training in Tai Chi/Qi Gong can be structurally developed into martial art therapies that can help patients of Parkinsonism and bone-related conditions of osteoarthritis and osteoporosis. This meant that the arts of Tai Chi and Qi Gong can help seniors with physical and nerve-related ailments in more than one ways.

The breakthrough in the therapeutic research on these martial arts came with a study carried out by Fudan University, which argued that the arts of Tai Chi and Qi Gong are specifically useful for patients who battle terminal illnesses like cancer. It was found that these arts can help to deal with depression, stress, tiredness, pain and irregular sleep cycles all at once, which meant that many of the side-effects of treatment could be eased with the help of Tai Chi. Finally, Linda Carson’s project for the University of Calgary showed that the arts of Tai Chi and Qi Gong can bring about physical improvement in conditions like cancer by helping to alter cellular structure. These studies raised Tai Chi/Qi Gong into the supreme health martial arts of 21st century.

Unlocking the Miracle Combo: What Energy Healing Can Do With Tai Chi
An intriguing question that Bruce McCorry’s Academy took up was how Tai Chi’s clinical properties can be used to the maximum advantage of learners. The answer lied in energy healing, a rare art that helps to direct internal energy through meditative and physical movements in many ways. Given that the Chi/Qi in Tai Chi/Qi Gong stands for the vital life energy, Bruce McCorry’s Academy of Martial Arts now offers lessons in Tai Chi and consultancy in energy healing simultaneously. As proved by the example of many students who took the two together, it was found that the coupling of Tai Chi/Qi Gong and energy healing can prove life-altering because they cater to the mind and body of the learners alike.
For those who want to improve their health in general, and for those who want an effective aid in their battle against diseases including cancer, the miracle combo of Tai Chi and energy healing at Bruce McCorry’s can prove life-changing.

It is not that uncommon for us to feel stressed at times in life and then not take it seriously. However, with the end of the year drawing near, 2017 looks like an alarming year for Americans in terms of stress. Studies and reports in the past one year has shown that:
  • In the past fifteen months leading up to November 2017, the overall stress level among Americans showed an increase for the first time in the past decade (Coping With Change, American Psychological Association)
  •  An average of 75% of adult Americans experience stress that ranges between moderate and high levels (American Psychological Association)
  • Number of those who experience job and work stress in America has touched the mark of 80% (American Institute of Stress)
  • One-fifth of children in the US feel stressed, but only 3% of parents are aware of what their child goes through (Stress in America Survey)
  • It seems that stress has finally evolved into one of the major health issues for Americans. This demands both attention and action.


The Anti-Stress Mantra for Adults and Kids: Martial Arts to the Help
The question of stress needs to be addressed because if left unattended, it can lead to serious consequences. This could begin with trivial symptoms like physical aches and elevated blood pressure, but stress carries the threat of evolving into complex conditions like toxic stress that can be lethal to one’s health and life.

Finding an anti-stress formula is not that easy, because it is hard to pinpoint the causes and nature of stress in each individual. It could be triggered from issues that are mental, personal, social, work-related or health-related. It sweeps over one’s body, mind and consciousness. An effective anti-stress formula should be able to address the particular nature and extent of stress faced by an individual and help him/her to fight it.

That is why martial art becomes a unique anti-stress mantra.
  •          Martial art movements help to ease tensed muscles in a soothing way.
  •          It can accentuate the release of brain hormones and thus help to relieve stress.
  •          The meditative quality of martial arts rhythmically ease your mind and release tension.
  •          Martial arts work by increasing the confidence and courage of the learner. This comes to help in dealing with most situations that provoke stress.
  •      Martial art improves general health and strength through physical movements and mind-healing techniques. Even patients who battle life-threatening diseases can use martial arts as an aid to relive stress and gain strength of mind.


The Bruce McCorry’s Method: A Unique Martial Art Formula to Battle Stress

Bruce McCorry’s Academy (Peabody, MA) has always kept pace with the most recent research in martial arts, and this has helped the academy to evolve unique lesson methods that can help you battle stress.

In this, the learners can learn to identify the cause of their stress and learn physical and mental techniques to qualitatively reduce stress.

It is time to recognize that ignoring stress can lead to serious mishaps and take action to defeat stress. Let martial arts be the way.

If you have ever watched martial arts or its representations in movies, it is hard to miss the practice of bowing that martial artists often do. Some learners who are new into martial arts often bow mechanically, without understanding the significance it has in martial arts or without knowing how such a simple act can help the person who does it. If you are a martial artist or want to be one, knowing the significance and benefits of bowing can help you to advance both in martial arts and life.

A Practice with a Past: The History of Bowing

Bowing is a customary way of acknowledging each other or showing mutual respect in many Eastern cultures. Its roots could be specifically Japanese, to the rules of manner and demeanor that developed in Japan under the influence of Confucian tradition. This traditional etiquette could have been present along with the various self-defense and military techniques from which early Asian martial arts took birth, thus one forming an integral part of another. In modern martial arts cultures, therefore you find the practitioners often bowing to the instructor, to each other, while entering and leaving the arena, before and after a particular practice session and so on. The exact nature and traditions of bowing change, depending upon the martial art under question and the tradition from which it hails.

Bowing Myths: What It Is Not

There are many myths surrounding bowing, which makes us feel alienated from the custom. Some of them need to be busted to understand the act of bowing:
  •       It is an Asian counterpart of a handshake or hug: This is a common myth. A bow is NOT just a counterpart of handshake or hug, which respectively indicate acquaintance and/or intimacy in Western cultures. The bow can connote these, but can also mean respect, gratitude, acknowledgement, humility and much more.

  •         Bowing is religious: This too is a myth. Bowing is a cultural and social expression and gesture. It is often adopted into religious contexts, but intrinsically it is not religious.

  •       Bowing connotes inferiority: It does not. It indicates your humility and recognition of another person’s worth, but it never connotes your inferiority because in all bowing situations, two persons bow to each other and not one to another.


Bowing: What It Is and How It Can Help

It is important to separate bowing from its myth and know it for what it is.
  •          It indicates respect/gratitude toward the person across you.
  •          It connotes your humbleness in front of the vast knowledge that everyone embodies.
  •          It connotes the spirit of positivity that is innate in competition.
  •          It indicates your integrity and sincerity as an artist.

At professional martial art schools like Bruce McCorry’s Academy, bowing forms a regular part of martial arts etiquette. It helps to create many values in learners, especially kids. Learners can clear their mind and focus their attention before a class through bowing. On a practical level, bowing helps to improve social skills, boosts respect for others, respect toward the work that you do, integrity toward duty, and gratitude for the blessings you have been given. By practicing bowing in martial art sessions, you can grow as a person dedicated to your own passions and humble to acknowledge another one’s knowledge.
