From the reviews
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.
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.
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.
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.
New to taekwondo? Start at Body Mind Systems Martial Arts Center
Body Mind Systems Martial Arts Center comes up as a beginner-friendly school — noted on their own site. If you've never trained or set foot in a dojang, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and instructors scale the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable schools build fundamentals (stances, blocks, kicks, and basic forms) for weeks, sparring eases in gradually and with gear on, and instructors keep it controlled and safe. Third, all ages and all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most schools are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first taekwondo class at Body Mind Systems Martial Arts Center
Nervous about walking into a taekwondo school for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good instructors expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic stances, blocks, and kicks with a partner or on pads — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: loose athletic wear you can move in (or a dobok if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the floor. What to bring: water and a positive attitude — many schools lend a loaner dobok for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll get your own dobok and belt, and sparring gear (mouthguard, headgear, and guards) once you begin sparring. Sparring eases in gradually, once your fundamentals and forms are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the instructor. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
