My children, ages 9 and 7, (both girls ) have been attending the Body Mind System Martial Arts School in Woburn, MA for one year. This has been a very positive experience for all of us. The reason I choose this school, many other schools are closer to where I live, was the fact that I was impressed by the level of respect, concentration, and the degree of self confidence the children were demonstrating in class -- even at young ages.
The classes are divided into specific age groups which allows for new information and skills to be passed in a fun and age appropriate manner. The small class size also enables the instructors to focus on the individual strengths and weaknesses of each student.
The children learn to be respectful of their instructors, and the other students which I believe translates into self-respect. Classes are challenging keeping with the traditional Martial Arts history but fun and engaging for children. The focus always remains on enhancing their mental as well as physical development.
The instructors are dedicated and hard working individuals who really love what they do and are exceptional with children. I would highly recommend this Martial Arts School for children and adults.
Pros: Good environment for children
