My children began training at Body Mind Systems in 2002 and continue today. The training focusses on development of respect, patience, determination, awareness, confidence and self esteem. The expectations in the classroom are clear, simple and consistent. The children are taught these qualities at age appropriate levels in a manner that is positive - never harsh, critical or belittling. Respect is shown to the students and in turn, student exhibit respect to the instructors, fellow students and their parents at all times when in the school. My children attend this school because I attempt to parent my children in a like-minded manner--the instructors support my parenting efforts and I, in turn, support the what is being taught in the classroom. The lessons are challenging, and the changes in my children have been amazing. Their training has positively affected other aspects of their lives, such as schoolwork and sports. My son began training as a child and has continued through high school, recently testing for his adult black belt-after earning it as a Junior student.
The most striking thing about the children that continue to train for any length of time at this school, is that their manner sets them apart from those who do not train. This is not a school for children that want to learn to "kick and punch" . It is a school for parents who want their children to grow mentally and physically. And this school also teaches Martial Arts.
Pros: Quality, consistent training
