Behind every legendary success, there is a life dedicated to hard
work, passion and dreams. When it comes to martial arts in Massachusetts, Bruce
McCorry’s Martial Arts Academy (Peabody) is a legendary success to think of.
Having begun as a small martial art venture in 1978, it succeeded in running
successfully for the past four decades and accomplished the goal of becoming
the number one martial art school in the area. The life behind this legendary
success is none other than Bruce McCorry, a noted name in modern martial arts.
Master Bruce McCorry: A Life Meant for Martial Arts
Born in Revere in Massachusetts, Bruce McCorry’s life was an ordinary
one until that day in 1967 when he was deeply struck by Bruce Lee in the Green
Hornet TV Series as a 13-year-old. It was a turning point in his life, showing
him the right path which would lead him to his career and passion later in
life.
His martial art journey had its inception when he joined the Mattson
Karate Academy to learn Uechi Ru, the first of the many arts that he would soon
master. Within five years, Master McCorry, who found his passion in martial art
moved on to new vistas, choosing to learn Kung Fu from P. Chan, the Grandmaster
and Taekwondo from Peter Chung Taekwondo Academy. By 1977, Master Bruce McCorry
knew that martial art was his calling in life.
A Dream Come True: Bruce McCorry’s Academy and the Success Journey
that Followed
Once Master McCorry knew that martial arts was all that he wanted to
do in life, his dreams began to take a concrete shape. He wished to impart the
arts he learned to as many newcomers as he can, and this led to the
establishment of Bruce McCorry’s Academy in 1978, when he was barely 24 years
old.
Being the young owner of a new martial art school didn’t tie him down.
Always driven by the passion to learn more, he earned the qualification to be
an instructor in both Kung Fu and Tai Chi by 1983 and toured all over Asia, the
cradle of ancient martial arts. This journey marked another turning point in
his life, as he won the acclaim of being part of the first Kung Fu troup from
America to perform in Shaolin Temple, the hub of modern Kung Fu.
Forty Years of Success: The Present of Bruce McCorry’s Academy
Master McCorry had the most productive years of his life to follow: he
trained in Taekwondo under none other than the Grandmaster, Jhoon Ree, and won
many acclaims including the title of 7th Dan in KukkiWon, entry to
the Martial Art Hall of Fame in 2002 and the honor of being Master Instructor
one year later.
All these years, the academy had steadily grown in efficiency and in
number of students enrolled each year. Today it has inclusive programs in
diverse martial arts aimed for preschoolers, school-going children, adults,
seniors and people with special needs. It has opened special wings for major
martial arts; has participated in unique programs like fundraisers and
awareness schemes and has introduced innovations of modern research like energy
healing. Today, Bruce McCorry’s Academy, which stays true to both the past and
future of martial arts, is the sought after destination for martial art lovers.
