From the reviews
My son and I have been training for about 7 months and this is real TRADICIONAL martial arts. Not only the physical training, but also the physical healing through the training is great! My knee pains are gone, my lower back pain almost gone too.
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.
When I started this training 6 months ago, I was looking for self-confidence and more concentration to improve my life. I was consulting with my therapist for a few years after my child's birth and the postpartum depression.
I joined the Martial Arts Program called Bagua on 3/25/22. The form Bagua strengthens from the inside out. This method uses foot work, circular, and spiraling movements for self defense and attack. In turn these motions help move Qi throughout the body, clearing blocked emotions and rejuvenating the energy system.

Your first tai chi class at Body Mind Systems, Swampscott
Nervous about walking into a tai chi class 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 gentle warm-up, then learning a few slow movements of the form, step by step — no pressure to get it perfect, and you can rest or sit whenever you need to. What to wear: loose, comfortable clothing you can move in, and flat, flexible shoes (some studios practice in socks or bare feet). What to bring: water, and that's about it — there's no equipment to buy. Arrive a few minutes early to say hello to the instructor and mention it's your first class. It comes together faster than you'd think — most people feel far more at ease by their second or third visit.
