When I started this training 6 months ago, I was looking for self-confidence and more concentration to improve my life. I was consulting with my therapist for a few years after my child's birth and the postpartum depression. At one point, she suggested trying Martial Arts and learning Self Defense techniques to gain more self-awareness. I took the advice and now I am really happy and proud of myself for doing that. Even in this not-very-long time of 6 months, I can see the amount of concentration and awareness I gained. Others see it too. My family is very happy with the changes they're seeing and feeling in my mood. I even am very better at controlling my anger now than ever before.I didn't talk about the physical aspects of the training as everyone else did.I also like to mention the high level of professionalism among the instructors and their respectful behavior with all their students. I really appreciate that.
My two kids have been training here for the last 6 years, and I joined 6 months ago. Such a great workout for both the body and the mind! I like learning in general for the dopamine response it gives me, and wow - this gives my brain such a challenge when learning new forms, and all while exercising me physically at the same time. Great effect on the children too. Instructor David (who works with children) is the talk of our house 🙂
There is Medicine in MovementWhen I started: I suffered from back pain for years and was having difficulty mentally focusing. The school trains you in traditional methods of movement and mindfulness. Since training for 3 years, my back has never felt better, my attention is steadfast and my family appreciates my mindful behavior.Many of their ancient methods (2600 yr old) have been recent modern medical discoveries. The instructors assist with modifications for physical limitations, making everyone welcome.The Body Mind System’s community encourage and support everyone’s goals to better themselves. Whether you are interested in self defense, strength/flexibility, mental focus, inner peace and/or spirituality, they can help you reach your goal.I highly recommend this school.
My son and I have been training for about 7 months and this is real TRADICIONAL martial arts. Not only the physical training, but also the physical healing through the training is great! My knee pains are gone, my lower back pain almost gone too. The respect and dedication for us to learn all the instructors have is admirable. I can't say enough good things and benefits I'm getting from the training, but to encourage you who are reading to stop by and try for yourself.
My son had been taking classes here since before he turned five. Three years later he still loves going and looks forward to each class. The instructors are engaged and positive roll models for the kids. Through his experiences here, my son has built confidence and kindness which translate beautifully to the larger world. My younger son is counting the days until he is old enough to start!
A great place to work out! Unlike many other gyms, if you miss many days they begin to remind you and ask when the next time is you will be able to go to class. Which is awesome, because there is now a much greater chance that you will actually keep exercising, at least semi-regularly, instead of just paying for a gym. And everyone knows that the best way to keep healthy is with regular exercise. Also, the exercises are fun, often challenging, and vary a lot, addressing very important areas like balance, flexibility, coordination, spatial awareness, memory, endurance, and strength (which without regular maintenance begin to go as one gets older, I see it all the time, as my job requires regular interaction with older people). This school seems to use martial arts as a vehicle to maintaining/improving health, I wish they would make the classes longer so that more time is spent on actually practicing self-defense techniques with the training partners (but that is definitely in there, too). I did notice a great improvement in my health over the time I took the class there. It's on the expensive end, but it is definitely worth it, with all the material that they manage to pack into every class, and the excellent quality of the instructors.Body Mind Systems has several schools, so there is a good chance there is another one near you, if this one is too far.
