Welcome to Body Mind Systems!
You have only one body and one mind. You can buy another car. You can buy another house. You can’t buy another body or mind and they need to last you your whole life. It is therefore common sense that taking care of your body and mind is the most important and valuable thing you can do to ensure you live a happy and fulfilling life.
Our training program incorporates external and internal martial arts styles that allow our students the opportunity to combine their knowledge and training into a powerful tool that results in mental, physical and spiritual fulfillment. We teach the following styles: Kong Su (Taekwondo / Karate), Kung Fu, Tai Chi, Yudo (Judo), Traditional Asian Weapons, Bagua Zhang and Samurai Sword. We also teach self defense skills against punches, kicks and common grabs along with situational awareness skills and fundamental self defense laws (what to do before, during and after an altercation).
An important component in our mission is to create a sense of community and peer support at our schools. When you step into one of our schools, you will immediately notice a positive and welcoming environment. We believe that we all learn from one another and grow together.

On September 29, 2022, at 54 years old, I made a commitment to change my life by becoming a Harmony Arts student at BMS. I walked into BMS with a physically weak body and an exhausted mind. I was not sure what to expect but I felt drawn to be there. As I struggled to learn to walk again without… severe pain, I found passionate and patient instructors, and nonjudgmental fellow students. I have gained strength, skills, and confidence.This summer, between June to September 2023, I jumped off a 20-foot high cliff into the water in Puerto Rico, hiked a mountain in NH, climbed up and then down 500 steep steps in Ninh Binh, Vietnam, and trekked 9 miles through slippery mud slopes in Ha Noi, Vietnam to visit remote tribal villages. “A journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step.” Thank you BMS for helping me to take that first step.read more

We have been so glad to be a part of Body Mind’s youth/kids classes for the last 3 years. My oldest has enjoyed his time training and growing his skill with friends and our youngest was thrilled to get to join his older brother this year. Practicing at Body Mind has given our kids more awareness of… their body, more confidence, and has grown their skills in centering and focusing their energy and concentration. The instructors always emphasize respect and care toward others. We are especially grateful for instructor Maggie, instructor Sal and instructor Preshad for their regular presence in our kids lives. Thank you all for making a warm place of welcome in our community in Stoneham.read more

My son has been attending Body Mind Systems in Littleton for about a year and it has been such a positive experience. I have seen him grow tremendously since starting here. It is warm and welcoming to new students and also a challenge that students can take pride in. Very reasonably priced and I… love instead of charging for new belts after belt tests they particularly dye the belt for you. Less wasteful and a pretty cool idea. I would definitely recommend this school!read more

BMS in Littleton has become a way of life for personal physical, emotional and spiritual growth for me. As a professional in my 60’s, I was looking for an “exercise” adjunct in my busy life. I have a neuromuscular muscle disease and I found the perfect accepting program to help me face my fears of… aging and now holistically am living my best life. National Instructor John has created a culture for training in the martial arts that is accepting and individualized to meet one’s goals. This type of martial arts program brings together all styles of external and internal teaching and practice training. Weapon training is a bonus.I give this program a 10/10 rating for someone looking for Martial Arts for themselves and/or their family.read more

From the moment our family stepped into Body Mind Systems nearly four years ago, we knew we had found a special place. The environment here is one of discipline and kindness, a combination that has not only been beneficial during lessons but has also positively impacted our home life. The… instructors at Body Mind Systems excel at nurturing both the physical and mental growth of their students, emphasizing the importance of being a well-rounded individual. This approach is exactly what we were looking for and has made a significant difference in our lives.One of the aspects we appreciate the most is how the instructors manage to intertwine martial arts training with valuable life lessons. The children are taught to handle various weapons, such as nunchucks, with respect and responsibility, reinforcing the idea that these skills are not for play. This teaches them the importance of discipline and control, lessons that they carry into their everyday lives.The progression through the levels at Body Mind Systems is rigorous and comprehensive. To advance, students must not only demonstrate their martial arts skills but also show personal growth and responsibility, including at home. The instructors work closely with parents to set goals for the students, such as completing chores, which must be achieved to progress. This collaboration ensures that the values taught in class are reinforced at home, creating a consistent message about the importance of hard work and responsibility.The small group sizes at Body Mind Systems allow for personalized attention, ensuring that each child’s needs are met. This individual focus helps keep the classes engaging and fun, fostering an environment where the kids are excited to learn and grow. Our experience with free classes at other martial arts schools pales in comparison to the quality and care we’ve found here.We wholeheartedly recommend Body Mind Systems to any family looking for a martial arts school that offers more than just physical training but a comprehensive approach to personal development. It is, without doubt, our favorite.read more

I have been training at body mind system for three months now and I have to say enrolling in the program has been one of the best decisions I’ve made in my life even though it’s been only a few months. My discipline has improved. I’m increasing my willpower cause I’m pushing myself to do the hard… things I wouldn’t typically do. I’ve also learned to be more mindful with the training and learned how to use my breath to get through the hard stuff. And also I’m using my mind to control my body instead of letting my body control my mind because I learned in body mind system that the mind has to be stronger than the body because the mind holds more will power and that’s what helps you to be successful.Im building strength, flexibility, and agility as well as Increase in awareness, patience, brain power and remaining present through training. My motivation not only with the training but also in my personal life and my personal goals have increased not to mention the instructors are very helpful and supportive with whatever endeavor I’m working on.But yeah I love it. Looking back from when I began to now, Body mind system is has helped me break alot of my bad habits and I’m extremely grateful.read more

I was hit by an IED in Afgahnistan in 2010. The blast broke both of my legs whcih left me with some physical deformities. The training I have recieved at Body Mind Systems has dramatically improved the function of my affected limbs. Not to mention, the blend of traditional Chinese and Korean… martial arts is extremely fascinating! My 5 year old daughter is having an absolute blast in her classes too. She is slightly neuro divergent but I have seen great improvement in her body awareness/ control since she began training about a month ago. Regional Instructor George is highly skilled in his art, and just as skilled in his ability to teach adults and children alike. I highly recommend Body Mind Systems to anyone looking to improve their lives through martial arts.read more

My middle son was diagnosed with ADHD and his teacher suggested karate or some sort of martial arts to help him learn to focus and self regulate and I immediately reached out to Body Mind Systems. Years ago when my oldest son was in school near the studio on Platte Canyon and Bowles Instructor John… was always involved in giving back to the community and helping the kids in that area. So my middle son started there years later and has loved it! He has more confidence, he is more mindful and it’s a tool for us to use to motivate him to make good choices in and out of this class. Watching the class myself they have exceeded my expectations by teaching my son self defense, how to get out of an abductors grasp, who can be considered a stranger and who they can seek out for help. Instructor Brandon makes it fun and this class burns some energy out that my son has built up during the school day. The price is affordable and worth every penny in my book. Watching my son set a goal of progressing towards his black belt and then seeing him fulfill it is just the best and I can’t wait to see where Body Mind Systems helps him go on life!read more
