I have been going here for a couple of years and I love it. I was initially set to do a trial class on my own but I brought my fiance with me and he took to it as well. Having a chance to learn martial arts skills not only on my own but with my partner has not only improved both of our fitness and discipline, but it has made our connection better as well. If you are looking for a good martial arts school to go to, you should definitely go here!

Great experience! Just as advertised! My balance, physical strength and situational awareness all improved as a consequence of training with Body Mind Systems

I’ve been attending classes for half a year now and this place is awesome. I’ve gotten so much stronger. Not to mention time in class takes me away from my problems and calms my anxiety. The instructors are attentive to your specific goals and will push you past what you think you are able to do. Everyone is also super nice!! Highly recommend:)

My two daughters started training over a year ago and have had so much fun attending the classes! They've gained confidence and strength, and are always telling me about what they learned once they come back. Though it is a rigorous workout, it's always lighthearted. They look forward to the classes and go several times a week. Instructor Alex, in particular, is a very fun teacher. Instructors Alicia and John are also great and very kind people! My daughters have made many friends in the class. They feel safe and respected at the school and we've recommended it to other parents.

My two children have been taking lessons here for a few months and absolutely love their classes and instructors. I was wary at first that their enthusiasm would fade but they look forward to each class and is one of the few times they will actually hurry out the door because they don't want to miss a minute of class. They've learned to cooperate more with each other since classes have started and my older one has been more patient with the younger one in teaching him the new moves they've learned. It's been very easy to communicate with the instructors and we love the sense of community between the members.

The children's karate program has been so beneficial for my son, teaching him self-discipline, building strength and learning the fundamentals of karate. He looks forward to the classes and likes all of the instructors. Once he started attending classes again in-person, his school teacher commented on how much better behaved he was - to which he credited his time at karate. Great program and I'd recommend it to any parent this is looking for an outlet for their high energy children.

I think there are perceived images of martial arts that tend to shy parents away from enrolling their kids. My son has been training here for about 4 years; we have learned to not only appreciate the physical component, but also the values that I find other sports and activities don't emphasize: discipline, respect, confidence and focus. The Body Mind Systems team is great with kids (Instructor Alex is awesome!), bringing a teaching style that blends having fun with the right dose of strictness.

I've been training here for over a year and I could not be happier. The instructors are highly knowledgeable, and it is quite clear from watching them move, and hold positions, that they are all well-trained, and also care about each student's individual growth. The training ultimately helps harmonize the mind and body, and has increased my joint strength and my balance, among other benefits. I intend to train here for years to come.
Edit - August 2021 - In addition to what I wrote above (which is still valid two years later), my two oldest children attend the children's and junior's programs at BMS. These are excellent programs for kids that I strongly recommend. In addition to the exercise and self defense skills expected from a martial arts class, there is a strong emphasis on building confidence and handling difficult situations, both of which are important for developing minds. The instructors are disciplined, patient, and fun, and the kids always leave with a smile on their face.

The training helped me build strength and confidence. The structure and ritual of the class made the challenging training easier. The lessons were highly personalized and the instructors were able to train many people of different levels and athletic abilities together. I would highly recommend training with BMS in West Roxbury.

I've been training for 3 1/2 years at Body Mind Systems, West Roxbury, I just turned 52 yrs old and feel more fit mentally and physically than I did decades ago. I was overweight, sick, and with nagging back pain for many years. Its all gone, Im pain free and thriving. My mind is clear and can take on any challenge. Ive opened my own hospitality procurement business a year and a half ago and its going strong. I train with my son as well, the journey has further solidified our already strong bond ten fold. Blackbelt martial arts training, coupled with strong leadership skills, rolled into 8 foundational martial arts. Come in today to change your life, and the lives of those around you. Remember, "Do what you've always done, and you'll get what you always got".
