My kiddo recently joined Body Mind Systems and I have to say, it has exceeded my expectations in every way. From the moment we walked through the doors, we were greeted with warmth and friendliness that made us feel right at home. The instructors are not only knowledgeable but also genuinely care about every student, fostering a welcoming environment that encourages growth and confidence. The small class sizes play a significant role in the overall experience. With fewer students in each class, the instructors can provide personalized attention, ensuring that everyone receives the guidance they need to improve. This intimate setting fosters a sense of community and allows for more focused training. Overall, I highly recommend Body Mind Systems to anyone interested in martial arts. With its welcoming atmosphere, excellent schedule, and small class sizes, it's the perfect place to train, meet new friends, and build confidence.

I appreciate that the techniques I am learning in this class are practical. The instructors welcome questions and demonstrate how techniques can be applied in real life. As a health care worker, I need effective self-defense tactics. In addition, the stretching and warm-up at the start of class has definitely improved my mobility. I feel more flexible and fit. Lastly, as someone who works and goes to school, Body Mind System has multiple options for midday and evening classes to accommodate my busy schedule. For anyone who wants to be physically fit, learn practical self-defense, and who wants encouragement and positivity in their lives, I would highly suggest Body Mind Systems.

The instructors here will push you to be the best possible person. It will be challenging, and exhausting, and sweaty, and the greatest thing you've done.

We have had a wonderful experience at Body Mind Systems! From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed by a warm and supportive atmosphere. My daughter has truly thrived in this environment. The instructors are incredibly encouraging, always lifting her spirits even when she makes mistakes. It’s heartwarming to see how they foster a culture of kindness among the kids, where everyone supports one another rather than making fun. What I appreciate most is the individual attention each child receives. The instructors take the time to work closely with each student, helping them develop their skills at their own pace. This personalized approach not only builds confidence but also ensures that every child feels valued and understood. I can confidently say that this studio has been a fantastic place for my daughter to learn and grow, both in martial arts and in her self-esteem. I highly recommend this karate studio to any parent looking for a positive and encouraging environment for their child!

A Year of Growth and Confidence at Body Mind Systems! My daughter started training at Body Mind Systems just over a year ago, and I couldn’t be more impressed with her progress. She’s now 8.5 years old and about to reach Level 4—a testament to the incredible instruction and supportive environment created by National Instructor John, Instructor Greg, and Instructor Sa-Fa. From day one, they have instilled discipline, focus, and confidence in her while keeping the learning process engaging and fun. Their attention to technique, encouragement, and ability to bring out the best in each student is truly remarkable. It’s inspiring to watch her develop both physically and mentally, gaining not just martial arts skills but also resilience and respect—qualities that extend far beyond the dojo. I highly recommend Body Mind Systems to any parent looking for a place where their child can grow in skill, confidence, and character. Huge gratitude to the instructors for their dedication and guidance!

The Body Mind Systems martial art schools in Wheatridge and Littleton, Colorado are the real deal! National Instructor John Hanley, whose own personal dojo in Littleton is part of a national network of schools, brings over 25 years of dedicated personal training and teaching to every minute of instruction. Under his and his instructor's guidance you will receive not only a continuous flow of knowledge but also their expert eye on understanding where you are personally on your martial journey. Having now trained at these schools for over a year and having trained off and on for over 30 years myself in multiple martial arts, being privileged to work with some very amazing masters, I can personally attest to the expertise and care you will receive from the family of masters and instructors at these schools. Whether you are seven or seventy all who train there will receive the attention they need to excel and accomplish becoming a martial artist. Where there's a will there's a way!

I've been training at Body Mind Systems for about 6 months & it's been a huge boost to my physical and mental health. Every instructor I've worked with is great, and I appreciate that they explain why they teach each form / technique. If you're looking for a good martial arts school, you should contact Body Mind Systems for a free trial lesson!

My son has been doing the youth program at Body Mind Systems for almost 2 years. He absolutely loves it. This program teaches discipline, focus, as well as self defense strategies and so much more! National instructor John is so patient and kind, and gives each student plenty of one on one attention. We plan to keep doing this for the long run!

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!

We started our two kids at Body Mind Systems in 2023 and they have loved it! The kids are always excited to go and are motivated to work hard. National Instructor John works so well with the kids, keeps them focused, and works on skill attainment while still having plenty of fun. It has been nice to also connect with other families. Thank you Body Mind Systems!

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.

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.

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!

My 5 year old boy loves the classes here so much that he wouldn’t want to miss any! And he has improved a lot physically and more important mentally, learning the benefits from a focused mind. I joined the class myself after watching him for a while, and it’s the best decision I have made for the year!! National Instructor John and Instructor Brandon are both SO good at what they are doing, and the people who we train together here are also great and helpful. Strongly recommend to those who has the intention but not yet find the ideal place to start.

My two sons have been training with Body Mind Systems for a few months now and they absolutely love it! Instructor Brandon is great. He makes each class fun while taking the time to make sure each child is learning the techniques properly. Both of my children have shown growth in focus and confidence since starting their training. Highly recommend!

Our teenaged daughter started taking classes at Body Mind Systems this summer and she loves it, because it is fun, engaging, positive, and she always has a goal to work toward. My wife and I also love it for all of those reasons, but we also appreciate that it is reasonably priced, the instructors are down to Earth, and they have not asked us to sign a contract.

My 11 yr old son has been attending Body Mind Systems in Littleton since Fall of 2019. Since starting with Instructor Brandon and National Instructor John he has gained so much confidence, independence and respect for himself and others. Instructor Brandon is great at making the classes fun for the kids while teaching them valuable lessons they can use at home, school and later in when they enter the work force. If you’re looking for a fun, affordable way to get the kids off the electronics Body Mind Systems is the way to go.

We can't say enough good things about Body Mind Systems in Littleton.

My family has been training at the Littleton Body Mind Systems studio since August 2019. My kids are 6 and 8 and they attend classes 3-4 times a week, without complaint. My husband and I train in the adult program as well. In the past 10 months, my family has experienced tremendous growth of character - participating in this program has eased anxiety, increased confidence, brought about discipline and positive attitudes. What has impressed me more than our personal growth, is the compassion and generosity of the Body Mind Systems community. During the past several months, as we have all dealt with the unknown COVID-19 has presented, the Instructors at Body Mind Systems have launched online courses to keep everyone training. Moreover, they have offered courses to help navigate stress and held community zoom meetings to allow for connection we all are missing. I can't say enough about the Instructors and their dedication to the community and each individual who trains.

Body Mind Systems has been great for our family. Our 2 kids, 5 and 8 started out this past summer. After watching them grow and have a great time, my wife and I thought it would be a good way to do something as a family and learn some new skills along the way. We have become obsessed with going. I'm getting back in shape and growing in many other areas in life. National Instructor John and Instructor Brandon are helping us become more mindful of our actions and gain greater awareness of our surrounding. I really like that they don't just focus on one martial art but many, and they teach not only the forms but how to apply them in self defense and in life. I look forward to continuing our journey at Body Mind Systems.

As an adult I had lost my ability to balance and I was starting to experience knee problems, after a year most of the pain in my knee was gone and I noticed I am now confident with my balance. The other students at the littleton school.are very supportive of each other in their advancement in Tai Chi and Kung Fu.

My daughters and I have been training here for about three months, and all three of us are loving it. First, the instructors could not be better with the kids. They’re patient and provide a level of attention that shows they genuinely care about the students, and they also make it really fun while teaching them legit skills and training. I can’t say how pleased I am to see my daughters’ confidence growing in such meaningful ways. And ditto for me in the adult class. The head instructor took the time to assess my goals, strengths and weaknesses, and he’s given me personalized stretches and strengthening exercises in addition to the regular training. I still have a lot to learn, but I’ve already seen noticeable improvements in my flexibility, strength, and general well-being. Then the training inspires me to eat and sleep better, and I’m realizing that it’s become the lynchpin in a shift toward improving both physical and mental fitness and wellness. It’s almost like there’s something to the name Body Mind Systems. Thank you!

Our son had attended one other program in the past and decided to take a break from it. Then we found Body Mind Systems and we fell in love with it. It is a bit cheaper than other place and he can attend more classes. We like the way they run the classes and the way they test to move up in ranks. It has helped our son with focus, exercise, flexibility, home discipline. We really like the teachers and the owner! Highly recommend.

The training I received at Body Mind Systems has allowed me to push myself above and beyond what I ever thought I was capable of, made me better equipped to handle life’s challenges, and be able to defend myself. A very worthwhile experience!

Body mind systems came into my life at a pivotal point of self reflection, recognized depression and desperation to move beyond the place I felt mentally and physically stuck. From day one of attending their free self defence seminar, training became the recource that I needed to turn that page in my life; it has helped me obtain strength, determination and focus to take on life and all that comes with finding your way and higher potential in this world. Being a human and navigating all that we do is not an easy task, but when we can see how much more our bodies and minds are capable of, with the use of a discipline such as martial arts, other trival things in your day seem to become much less impacting and treated more like a challenge that is a pleasure to over come. Im deeply grateful for the community this training facility creates, and I know the physical tools and philosophies I've gained from Body Mind Systems will be a part of my lifes journey. And if nothing else, I have learned how to breathe, and that can help alot more than we may ever imagine, so thank you to National instructor John and Assistant instructor Brandon. Highly recommend, all are welcomed.

I originally came to Body Mind Systems looking for a workout and basic self-defense strategies. In a short period of time, after my introductory month, I couldn't believe how much my strength and flexibility improved! The classes at Body Mind Systems are much more than a work out, I'm learning skills that I can use in my everyday life, such as awareness and the importance of moving my body at all times. I love to hike and ride bikes, and with the training at Body Mind Systems, I quickly noticed I am faster and have more endurance during these fun activities. The instructors take great care to ensure the students avoid injury and the lessons always include an open and fun atmosphere! This is the best decision I have made for my overall health!

My son loves Body Mind Systems. He's been going there for about six months and loves it. The skills learned are applicable, and my son can't wait to show me when he gets home. We tried other karate places, but my son wasn't as interested as he is here. The instructors are great, and the extra family activities are an added bonus. I would (and do) recommend it to anyone.

I just wanted to say that Body Mind Systems is one of the best martial arts schools I have ever attended. I have been involved in the martial arts since I was a child, and this is hands down some of the best training I have ever received. National Instructor John is knowledgeable, skilled, direct in his teachings, and can simplify the most difficult training to make it accessible to anybody at any skill level regardless of physical ability. He is very attentive to guiding students in the correct postures and moves to not only improve mobility and strength, but to prevent injury. In the time I have been at the school, I have not only noticed positive physical changes, but mental ones as well. As I transition into my 40’s this is exactly the type of training my mind and body needs and National Instructor John helps me to adjust my training to my particular physical limitations. I would recommend this school to anybody looking to train their body and mind against the rigors of life.

My kids started here and then I joined them. I'd been digging around the metro area for a good mind and body workout, and this is it. It's not all MMA death punches (but totally available) nor is it put-you-to-sleep corpse pose, but a fairly strenuous albeit incredibly educational experience for both overall health and self defense. National Instructor John is highly trained and ridiculously dedicated. Not only to his students, but the community. He donated some of the proceeds of my boys' training to their elementary school. So, yes, 5 stars.

I have been taking one of my sons here for about a year. John is an amazing instructor with the kids. His patience is better than anyone I have ever encountered. My youngest has definitely grown since attending. He is doing better in school and better in social situations. We were so pleased with the outcome that we signed my older son up as well. He has been going for almost a month and just loves the classes. He looks forward to going and comes home still practicing his moves.
