My son who is 6 years old has been attending the pee-wee Martial Art classes at Body Mind Systems in Arlington Center three times a week for the past 8 months. I originally wanted him to make new friends, get some exercise and hoped that he would learn better how to focus, listen and follow orders while having fun at it. When he first started, instructor Charles saw right away that my son was having problems listening, teasing others, talking too much and not always participating. In so little time and with great professionalism, instructor Charles has transformed my child's attitude tremendously. He has teaching techniques that suit every child and pays great attention to all children in his class. Instructor Charles has wonderful ways to work with children that are so beneficial to them, as to develop their own self esteem, to comprehend their own bodies, to interact with others and to better be physically coordinated. Although the classes have regular warm up session, Charles always find new ideas to varying his teachings while using his imagination, sometimes with the use of toys so that the children can have fun and enjoy themselves while learning, without ever getting bored. My son is now better focused, respects his peers and is better able to follow instructions without constant reminders. He looks forward to every class and I can only express how happy and thankful I am to instructor Charles and his colleagues for providing this wonderful environment. This is a place I highly recommend!
