I've been at Body Mind Systems for over four months now. Prior to that, I identified myself as a…read moremodern 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.

If you're an adult, especially a female steer clear of this "dojo". They will pressure you to do…read moretheir "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.

Upon dropping $3200 for a parent/child combo for the year, we hoped that the sticker shock would wear off after that investment. The instructors are incredible and remember every students name, making it a very personal experience! They help the children stay focused and truly make the sessions special for the kids. Can't say enough positive about the daily instructors and staff at Seos. After starting for about 2 weeks, my daughter and I were pulled into these "check up" sit downs in the side offices. These sessions quickly changed to The Masters Club and how our student needed to enroll in these extra classes and instruction. These 2-4 year contracts added another $240/month to tuition for our 6 year old student. These check ups happened 9 more times in the first 5 weeks of our beginnings at Seos. To recap, $3k/year plus another $240/month for the Masters club to for the next 2-4 years. We completed our year commitment and said our goodbyes. Good intentions, bad sales practices.

We took both of our girls, one a very shy and reluctant 6 year old and our youngest and most rambunctious almost 4 year old to begin their Taekwondo tutelage under Mr. Teran. Needless to say, our oldest has certainly come out of her shell and surprised us all. This school is not just any ordinary Taekwondo studio, this is more like family. Each and every child is acknowledged, respected and given the opportunity to be their best self. Not only does he care about their progress in Taekwondo but he also makes sure to check their academic progress in school and reinforce the importance of education and discipline. I can't say enough good things about this place but more than kind words, what my kids have learned speaks for itself.
