I used to train in Karate off and on since I was a teenager. Unfortunately it shut down due to Covid and my instructors health decline. My husband unexpectedly found this place for me.The experience has been Amazing. When I first started with Head Instructor Alex, I was very shy and unsure of what I’m used to. He’d make us laugh with his sarcastic jokes .Now with National Instructor George,he’s just as funny. When it’s time to get down to business,the instruction is very direct. He helps those who have trouble with repetitive repetition. When life happens I usually have a friend message me on FB and let me know how class is going. It’s always good to hear from them. There’s even been a time that NI George has contacted me to see how I was doing . All in all, this is my home a way from home. 🙂
I cannot recommend Body Mind Systems enough! My daughter has been attending for over a year, and it has been an incredible journey for her. I love that there’s a little of all types of martial arts so I know she is having a great foundation. The instructors are outstanding—supportive, knowledgeable, and truly dedicated to the students' growth. Some of my favorite instructors hands down. I've witnessed a remarkable boost in her confidence and skills, and she looks forward to every class with excitement. The flexibility in scheduling is a huge plus, and the fun community-oriented events they organize make the experience even more enjoyable. This class has become a significant and positive part of her life! I highly recommend for anyone interested in martial arts!!
I've never left a Google review for ANYTHING, but I want other parents to find the Castle Hills Body Mind Systems for their kids.My daughter (second grader) started about a month ago, and she LOVES it. She is gaining confidence, feeling like she is part of a team (even though they are training individually), and gets excited about each class. We can only make it once a week, but there are multiple available classes a week for her age group, and the more you go to, the more quickly your kid will advance. But once is week is what we can manage, and it is still worth it.She started with absolutely no prior knowledge, and she's already doing multiple types of kicks, falls, and even breaking these plastic plates they have. They do deep breathing, basic calisthenics, lots of taking time to show respect, and lots of practice. They also play age-appropriate and team-building games, which she loves. The uniforms come included with the very affordable cost. My daughter cherishes her belt. I was worried she would be the only girl, but it's a mix of genders, and that's awesome.But really it is Instructor Alex Vu who is the heart of the program. He jokes with the kiddos, keeps them on their toes, and teaches them.This is our family's first time trying martial arts, and my daughter's first time doing an extracurricular activity outside of school, and it is proving to be an excellent experience for her. I highly and wholeheartedly recommend Body Mind Systems with Instructor Alex.
We were blown away by head instructor Alex when we first stopped by to inquire about lessons for our son. Alex has a unique way of balancing seriousness with silliness to keep the kids’ attentions. There is genuine excitement for martial arts days and my son is often showing me the moves he has learned, practices around the house, and is building self-confidence by already leveling up after 2 short months so that he is no longer a basic white belt. With convenient class times and an “in the neighborhood location” I highly recommend Body Mind Systems. You or your children will get a good workout while learning some valuable and cool skills from an awesome instructor.
I joined a little over a month ago, and this being my first martial arts training ever I wasn't sure what to expect. Head Instructor Alex has been an excellent and very, very patient teacher to my clumsy self. He explains how the movements and poses work together in a way that makes sense, even to a beginner. I have a brain that is constantly firing in my everyday life, so I appreciate that his class is one of the few places where I'm able to slow my mind down and concentrate completely at the task at hand (which usually involves not falling on my face, but I digress). If you have any interest in martial arts not just for the physical workout but also the mental awakening, I highly recommend that you start training with H.I. Alex.
My Wife and I have enjoyed learning from Head-Instructor Alex for a month now at the new San Antonio/Castle Hills location. We both have been involved in Martial Arts for several years, and H.I. Alex is one of the best instructors (of several good ones we have had), and is not only very expert in Martial Arts, but is also an excellent (and very patient) teacher. (I'm a retired Public High School teacher, and could have used his approaches with my students!) I have a few old injuries, and the training is tailored to adapt to this. I've also discovered new muscles I didn't know that I had, and have greatly improved my flexibility and attitude!
