A preconceived notion regarding martial arts for children is that it is not much more than a co-curricular pastime. However, the wide-ranging benefits of martial arts can transform all facets of your child’s life and make sure that he/she has a successful life in the future. Enrolling your child for martial art lessons could be that one decisive step that could make all the difference.

Why Make the Choice: Martial Arts and its Benefits for Children
·         Martial arts help children to do better in studies. It is not a myth that martial arts make kids sharper. The mind-and-body training that a martial art learner undergoes improves memory and helps kids to perceive and analyze things quickly. A quick, sharp mind will definitely help them to get better grades.
  •  Martial arts aid children in sports. It can make children fit, athletic, agile and coordinated – each of which is a great asset for those who want to do well not in sports, and in other physically demanding activities such as athletics, dance and so on.
  •  Martial arts boost health and fitness. For children, this means that they will be protected from lifestyle diseases like obesity, diabetes, cholesterol, hypertension and potential cardiac risk from quite early in their lives. Martial art learners rarely tend to be overweight or prone to illnesses in future life.
  •  Martial arts is a great self-defense. It teaches children to be physically strong and courageous, and equips them with useful self-defense modes. Kids who learn martial art are more likely to defend themselves in situations of bullying, assault, or a crime perpetrated against them. Martial arts also teach them to stay away from other concerns of school and teen life, such as peer pressure, drug abuse and risky behavior.
  •  Martial arts help with stress-relief. No one can manage their turbulent emotions like stress, anxiety, worry and fear like martial arts learners. All of these affect kids even more than they affect adults. Therefore children who are early martial art learners grow up to be more emotionally balanced, mature and capable to face challenges than others.
  •  Martial arts can instill values in children. A martial art is not just about moves and meditation – it is also about an inherited value system that forms its core. Learning an art also causes children to imbibe the values respected in its doctrines, like mutual respect, cooperation, goodness, and kindness.


Martial Art for Kids at Bruce McCorry’s Academy
Given that why a child should be enrolled for martial arts is no more a question, it is time to choose the right place.

Parenting a preschooler is quite a stressful task. There might have been times in your life when you panicked seeing your four-year old violently kicking the pillow or punching the air, or even rushing at siblings in mock-fight. There might have been times when you worried he/she was not starting to talk or walk in time. Before you jump to conclusions about your child’s growth, it is important to know that each preschooler is in a precarious phase: on one hand they are a bundle of unbridled energy, on the other, they are vulnerable to social pressures as well. 

The only way to direct this energy in a constructive manner and to ensure positive physical and social development is by enrolling them in a constructive course like martial arts. What your child needs is a productive and efficient preschool martial art program, and the Little Ninjas Preschool Martial Art Program at Bruce McCorry’s Academy is a great choice.

  • The Little Ninjas Program has a sensitively designed format that blends martial arts with fun activities, games and exercises which young kids would love to take part in.
  • The key attraction of the course is its extremely successful 8-point formula, which works to cultivate eight key skills that are important for a child’s growth and development at this age. These eight skills include teamwork, balance, discipline, coordination, memory, fitness, control and focus. They are intended for the physical, mental and emotional growth of your child and prepare them for the academic, social and personal life that awaits them in future.
  • The program further aims at perfectly developing the abilities that children might need sooner or later in their life. These include social abilities such as communication and confidence, linguistic ones such as fluent speech and comprehension, and physical abilities such as flexibility and motor coordination. The vibrant campus and the exposure it offers help in cultivating these abilities.


The Little Ninjas course provides martial arts in an impeccably safe environment, where experienced instructors and adults monitor conditions all the time, and where special equipment and measures ensure safety and comfort of the children.

Many of wish that we could learn to sustain our interest in the tasks that come in our way—whether it be learning something new, a workout program, studying for school, or making ourselves go to work every day. Lack of motivation sums up that inexplicable feeling of not wanting to do something, or not being able to sustain our interest in something that is expected of us. Not surprisingly, motivation has become a buzzword among behavioral psychologists, as they point to a larger trend where more and more people are unable to be motivated. This is true in the case of martial training as well. Martial art could be that magic program that gives you every benefit from health and fitness to stress-relief and self-defense, but what if we are tempted to give up rather than go on?

Being Motivated and Never Giving Up – Some Tips for Martial Arts Motivation
Taking up martial arts is easy—you are convinced of its benefits, you are eager to experience something new, you are waiting for miracles to happen. But once you start, it is natural to think of giving up, out of laziness, the fear of not being good enough, or lack of interest. Here are some tips to help you take control of your motivation:
  • Find a Target: It is important to have a goal to keep you going. Remember why you started martial arts in the first place—was it for health, fitness, stress-relief, confidence? Consult your instructor, and draw up an actable plan to achieve your goal in a given period of time.
  • Choose an Engaging Program: While it is the best to be motivated from within, an inspirational program can actually motivate you, making martial arts interesting and pacing it in the right way. At Bruce McCorry’s Academy (Peabody, MA), for instance you get a wide range of choices to pick your favorite from, and professional instructors find a custom method and pace that will keep you interested and focused on your goal.
  • Be Aware of Growth: In a good martial art school, the instructors will let you know your progress from time to time and sustain your motivation. You can do this on your own by logging your achievements. Check in from time to time how your health profile has changed, how many pounds you have lost, how calmer or confident you feel. Be aware of the growth that is happening to you.
  • Be Present-Oriented: In martial arts, anticipating future failures could make you lose interest. Instead, stay focused on your current progress and leave worrying about future.

Being Motivated in the Martial Arts Way
In fact, the four-fold program outlined above, where you find a goal of your own, engage yourself in a program, track the growth and focus on present can be the formula for finding motivation in anything that you do. However, the greatness of martial arts is that once you start practicing it, it will keep you energized, focused and spirited to the point that you will start feeling intrinsically motivated to do the other things that you are supposed to do such as studies or work. Martial arts is that miracle program that can help you find motivation with all aspects of your life. Say yes to martial arts, and find that extra push that you need to get yourself going!

How to Use Karate to Help Children Overcome Stress, Anxiety & Fear

Even though some adults passed through childhood with less stress and worry, a vast majority of them assume that today's childhood is devoid of worries or problems. Nothing could be farther from the truth; the current generation of children are facing a wide range of stress, fear and anxiety factors. These pressures have been accelerated by today's pandemic and lifestyle changes and the ever increasing dangers that pop up on a daily basis. As parents, guardians or generally just adults, the key question is how to help kids cope with such complex problems. The answer is Karate. It's a great solution to help solve the problem of the ever present stress, anxiety and fear in our children.
The Four leading Causes of Anxiety and Fear in Kids
Irrespective of the cultural, economic or racial divide, there are several key factors that studies have shown that are leading causes of anxiety and fear in kids. These factors include the following;
Fear of criticism from the society: it does rank at the top of almost every kids list. Most kids define criticism as the fear of either being reprimanded by teachers, parents, siblings or even schoolmates and friends. Most kids end up having low self-esteem and are continuously apprehensive about future criticism.
Workload from school: examinations have become the alpha and the omega for school going kids, the school curriculum has grown in leaps and bounds. There are more subjects, projects, assignments and exams being offered. Parents, teachers and the society in general have become more demanding in terms of results and expectations; this translates into more anxiety for kids.
Peer pressure from friends: almost every kid wants to fit into a certain grouping. This desire may force kids to participate in certain activities that their parents or the kids themselves may not approve of. This leads to bouts of anxiety and apprehension as they fear either being caught or are acutely aware of the consequences of their behavior.
Escalated dangers: more than ever, kids are now faced with numerous dangers than what meets the eye. There are more instances of bullying, sexual assault and physical harm from both strangers and people known to them. Most kids are more apprehensive about venturing outside and interacting with strangers or sadly, even close family members.
How Karate reduces Stress and Anxiety
All over the world, people have come to realize the role of martial arts in keeping its practitioners stress free. Karate ranks quite high in this regard, especially for kids. It does this through several ways;
Karate boosts the self-confidence of kids as they feel more assured about themselves because they can defend themselves against bullies and other physical assault instances. Kids who learn karate tend to face challenges calmly. They have a lot of self belief.
Karate is also known to help reduce stress. Kids start facing life practically and stop worrying about small problems.
Children who practice karate tend to have high tolerance levels and learn the importance of respect. They can handle criticism better; they appreciate the need to get better in whatever they do.
The rigors and physical body movements practiced in karate helps kids to actively keep their minds well occupied from the movements they learn.
Karate is also known to help build character and personality amongst kids. They find it relatively easy to say no to something they are not comfortable about. They are not easily swayed by peer pressure or affected by classroom stress.
