I think everyone who comes here arrives seeking fancy moves and physical exercise. You’ll get that, but you’ll also start a fascinating journey into a deep lineage that will offer you medicine, teach you willpower, and help you discover positive aspects to yourself you may never have expected to find. I have suffered chronic low-back pain for my entire adult life, and 10 months into joining I am happy to say my pain flare-ups have become almost totally nonexistent. Along with that, I’ve learned to carry myself with a much stronger sense of purpose and confidence, AND I have a bunch of awesome new kung fu buddies to boot! Oh yeah, and a lot of fancy moves. The only thing I lost was 18 pounds!

This is such a cool, awesome community of people learning together. I joined Body Mind just to try something new and different and it has become a huge asset in my life. Learning the forms is so rewarding and it has influenced all aspects of my life for the better.

My 7 year old loves this place. All the Instructors are patient and work well with the kids. They bring a fun, welcoming environment and know how to keep the kids engaged and focused. Class sizes are perfect for my son's age group. Highly recommended for anyone looking to join.

My son started with BMS in 2021 and then my daughter in 2024. We love the instructors, the activities and definitely the discipline that comes with martial arts. We've also met some great families along the way. John, George, Kaden and Paul have really been great with our two kids and make each class rewarding. The class sizes are just big (or small) enough for the instructors to have one on one time with students as needed. The facility is also not overwhelming and at times, a good place to get some work done. I would highly recommend BMS!

I cant say enough about this school and its Instructors but here's a summary. My son began classes here when he was 14 after getting into fights at school. Regional Instructor George (and the other instructors) was able to redirect that energy into something positive. My son is now 16 and he has attained his first degree black belt, has taken advanced training classes as well as received an Assistant Instructor position. If you bring your kids, he's their Instructor now! He's amazing and has grown into a helpful, respectful and dedicated young man. My son has put in all the work and practice to get to where he is. Im so grateful This school and its instructors are dedicated to providing an optional path in life for young men like him. They push their students (of all ages) to be the best they can be. In addition, I also started taking classes a year after my son. I am now a 4th section and working towards my black belt degree as well. Going through this experience with my son has been an amazing bonding experience. I know I was strong mentally and physically before starting these classes, but I had no idea how much stronger I could be. I thank all the instructors for the time they put into helping the people who want to help themselves be their best at any age. P.S. These classes are designed to help strengthen you mentally, emotionally, spiritually and physically. You have to want it though.

My daughter (5) joined their children's classes and we couldn't be happier-- she would go everyday if she could. Instructor John and instructor George do an incredible job keeping the kids engaged and their attention focused

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.

I rarely feel compelled enough to write google reviews but in this case it's a must. Both my two boys and myself attend Body Mind Systems and have been for several months now. The depth of knowledge of the many martial art styles and systems is truly impressive. The instructors are extremely talented individuals who have exceeded my expectations for both myself and my children. The School/locations are very well taken care of and safe and I have no issues leaving my children for a class. Having a decade of martial art experience prior to my time at Body Mind, I'm confident when I say that these guys are among the best. I refer people to to Body Mind frequently and recommend them with zero reservation.

This is an ideal learning and training facility for Tai Chi and martial arts. Very professional. Classes for kids and adults, including seniors! Very welcoming and friendly. I’ve been training there for over a year and have greatly improved my balance and flexibility as well as learning tai chi skills.

Body Mind Systems has been life changing so far. I am excited to go to classes, and learn from Regional Instructor George as he genuinely cares about your progress. The people there are welcoming and friendly to newcomers. Although the classes are challenging everything you do here has a purpose down the road. I am very happy and very excited to continue my path with Body Mind Systems!

The environment at Body Mind Systems is calming and unique. My daughter has been training for three years now, and I have seen a tremendous improvement in her self-confidence and mental well-being. As a parent, I feel more assured knowing that she is learning valuable life skills and watching her improve in technique is rewarding for us both! I also decided to dedicate time to training almost two years ago, and the benefits are remarkable! I have felt an improvement in my endurance, confidence, concentration, strength, and overall well-being! It is incredible how I feel after each class, and I love it! The instructors are the best and truly impressive! Their engagement and dedication to each student are genuine as they share their talent and knowledge in their teachings. I am pleased that we started our journey with this school and would absolutely recommend Body Mind Systems to anyone!!!

This school has been life changing for my body, mind and spirit ! Highly knowledgeable instructors with many many years of experience.

I've been attending for about a month now. I'm 54 and was involved heavily in taekwondo as a teenager. I wanted to get back into martial arts as a more engaging form of exercise than simply hitting a gym, but I was very picky about what school I chose. I wasn't sure if I should simply find another taekwondo school (because I'm familiar with it) or venture into a new style. Body Mind Systems has been a great fit because it incorporates taekwondo along with kung fu and other styles which are very different. The workout is VERY rigorous and definitely addresses the whole body. Classes are small, so I receive plenty of attention from the instructor, George, who manages to be tough with humor and passion for his craft. One thing that sold me on this school is that it has classes specifically geared for adults where I can focus on my intensive training without having to worry about injuring little kids around me - something I found to be an issue when trying to get back into martial arts several years ago at another school.

Regional instructor George has been tremendous value to me as an individual. The physical, mental, and creative benefits I've gained thus far has been rewarding. It's become a part of my character and the lessons learned are deeper than what you initially expect. I'm eager to continue the journey and highly recommend exposing yourself to this martial arts center if you are the least bit curious.

***as an update, my son has been here for almost a year, and is learning to be more coordinated and disciplined. He has made new friends and really enjoys instructor George’s classes. I would recommend trying a class to anyone,adult or child.*** After looking for a local spot to send my 5 year old son for martial arts, we did a trial class at Body Mind systems in Wheat Ridge. My son was so excited spending time with the other kids and instructor George learning new skills and running and kicking his little heart out. Instructor George makes the entire experience fun, but offers excellent guidance and encourages discipline. We signed up for classes on the spot and my son couldn't be happier with his experience since then. I would recommend this place to anyone with young kids looking for a martial arts class which focuses on fun, respect, discipline and is not overly aggressive. They focus on each child individually and the group, which has helped my kiddo who is introverted in new situations. We noticed that they offer adult classes too, which in this setting would probably be a lot of fun. Happy to have found them!

Our son has been going to Mind Body Systems in Wheat Ridge for several months and is still just as engaged as the first lesson. Instructor George is very good with kids. He's patient with their progress, but doesn't hesitate to call kids out for misbehaving. Typically, he will remind kids who are being distracting to be respectful- usually in the form of push-ups :) The classes are pretty consistently structured with a mix of focused lessons and physical games. Overall, its a great place and doesn't require long-term commitments like many other schools.

Body Mind has been great for our family! Both of my sons and my husband take classes. It’s been a great way to keep them active and learning in the winter. I like that they are also learning safety techniques for situations like being approached by a stranger. Instructor George is a great guy and awesome with the kids! Highly recommend!

My 6 yo joined the class 3 month’s ago and we couldn’t be happier. I appreciate the gentle but respectful atmosphere George has created. In each class there is a good balance of basic fitness training, martial arts education, and goofy fun. Perfect for keeping my kiddo interested in returning week after week.

Body Mind Systems has been a great investment of my time and money. I was looking to improve my physical strength and agility as I age. I have seen improvement in both with the additional benefits of better focus, mental health and sleep. George and John (the instructors) both encourage and push you along the way while keeping the classes challenging and entertaining. I wish I would have found these guys years ago.

Instructor George is so patient and excellent with the kids. My daughter has attended his Dojo for two years now and absolutely loves it. We couldn't be happier as she has chosen to make the commitment to the program in many ways thanks to Instructor George's fun and consistent tutorship.

My son has been working with Body Mind for just over 2 years. George, John, and the other instructors have been incredibly patient and kind. At the same time, they have a masterful ability getting the kids to engage and learn Watching my son go from flailing about and rolling around on the floor to being able to perform the first movements of Long Fist has been amazing.

I started training at the age of 44 to help maintain my overall health. The physical aspects have really helped, I no longer have back pain and my overall strength and flexibility has increased tremendously. The increase in the mental aspect is what I didn’t expect. The attention to detail, metal focus, concentration, self-discipline and over mind health is just amazing. The classes are challenging, fun and very rewarding. I would recommend this to anyone looking to get in shape, improve the mental and physical wellbeing or who is looking for self-defense.

You would be hard pressed to find a bwtter instructor then Regional Instructor George. He really puts his all into his students. He always makes sure we understand why we are doing what we are doing. If you need extra time to practice the door is usually open. Highly recommend! !

My 7 year old son has been attending Body Mind Systems for a few months now and loves it! Although it is a group setting, Instructor George does a great job of focusing on each students individual needs as well. The kids are always learning and entertained. I have been so impressed that I also recently started training here. The instruction is great and I can't believe how good I feel after each class! I am already feeling the changes in my strength, flexible and confidence! I highly recommend Body Mind Systems!!

My daughter (8) and son (6) have been attending Body Mind Systems with Instructor George for over a year now. They both enjoy the classes and have learned tremendously (currently 3rd section, working towards their black belt). Instructor George keeps the instruction fun and engaging. I myself have started with the adult training - a great balance of intensity and challenge. Highly recommend for both youth and adults

I've been at Body Mind Systems for over four months now. Prior to that, I identified myself as a modern day yogi who practiced for over eight years. I began questioning that once a chronic injury led to restricting my movement in everyday life. I felt that I was at the end of a road and had no idea how to heal myself. Even my doctor said that I would eventually require surgery and then would probably be looking at hip replacement by age 45. I was shocked. I knew a tai chi studio had recently opened just down the road, so I walked in the door and spoke with the owner John. He listened to me for over 30 minutes and recommend I try a free lesson. I then purchased a month and have been going 5X per week since. I am committed to my health and wellness. I now have more mobility in my hip and torso than I've seen in a few years. One thing I also noticed was that my will power was depleted prior to attending the school. Over time, my yoga practice didn't address my injury and it left me empty inside on many levels. Since practicing at Body Mind Systems I feel strength, not just physically, but in my capacity and drive as a human. I think this is the case because John and George have taken the time to know me as a person and push me to the edge of my capacities while keeping my hip and lower back in mind. There are no bells and whistles here. Only hard work to physically heal and grow, and mindfulness to learn to live more holistically. One a final note, John and George have both taken the time to sit down with me on a personal level on several occasions. They both have checked on my progress not only physically, but also in other areas of my life. This room, this school is one of the few places in this world that is invested in ME as a person. I highly recommend you stop on by. -Dan V.

Body Mind Systems is a great experience for improving the whole body. It goes way beyond a conventional gym or personal trainer to create lasting results for both the mind and body. The curriculum builds on basic conditioning to teach highlights from six different martial arts disciplines. The world class instructors and students contribute to a great atmosphere. This is a fun and challenging way to spend an evening.

My wife and I have been students now for four months and absolutety love it. We had very little experience with martial arts before starting and we've been able learn material from over 6 different styles. We always leave class feeling great. The instructors are seriously knowledgeable and are great teachers. If you're looking to start training, this is the place!

When I started training, I was just looking to learn some tai chi movements. I didn't realize that traditional martial arts training, as one end of the spectrum in Eastern medicine, has a whole therapeutic side that cannot be bought. My health is at least 10-15 years less than my actual age. As time went on, I realized that my confidence had grown. The confidence allowed me to communicate more clearly. Rather than working for some company, I've instead helped create two non-profit organizations and three companies. My professional world is surrounded by like-minded entrepreneurs who are accomplishing what they want in life. If you want an opportunity to profoundly affect your life in a way that few have ever heard of, you want to start your path at Body Mind Systems!

If you're an adult, especially a female steer clear of this "dojo". They will pressure you to do their "black belt course" after trying it out for a month. When I first started I paid $200 which I figured seemed ok as a monthly fee being that they want you to train 5 days a week. However I was quickly pulled aside during class to sign a contract for thousands of dollars. It was not presented as something to look at and bring back next week it felt very pressured and weird. Also the instructors don't know how to give constructive criticism. They are body shaming and make you feel stupid for asking any questions. If you want to spend $15000 for a black belt that you can earn in a couple years go for it but you will probably end up just injured and overly stressed and they will not refund your money either for medical issues.
