Martial Arts Lessons at Lakewood Taekwondo Institute

Located right behind Starbucks sits an unassuming martial arts school in a shopping center on Alameda Parkway. If you watch, you’ll see a wide range of people come in and out of that front door. A mother with her 4 year old son dressed in a tiny white uniform, a family wearing different colored belts but all wearing the same uniform, or even just a man with a duffle bag of sparring gear holding the door open for a friend. Each and every one of them are there for a reason, to learn Taekwondo at the Lakewood Taekwondo Institute.

This is the site of headquarter campuses for Moo Sul Kwan Taekwondo in the Denver area (part of the Colorado Taekwondo Institute). Founded in 1991, the outstanding staff of black belt instructors at this school are able and eager to teach people of all ages and abilities. Classes during the week are divided by age but all students are taught the same principles of respect, confidence, integrity, perseverance, focus and indomitable spirit.

Stepping inside you’ll be treated to the sight of world class teaching in effect as students and teachers sweat their way through a work out that trains every part of the body. The class will flow from a warm-up of jumping jacks, to a series of stretches, to our basics routine that covers strikes, blocks and kicks. The rest of the class ranges from poomse (patterned movement) to self-defense techniques. The classes are positive and fun, whether you’re looking for an focus the energy for your toddler or want to get in shape and be healthy yourself.

But if all Lakewood martial arts lessons give these benefits, why chose the Colorado Taekwondo Institute? As with anything else, the quality makes a huge difference. You want to find the best school possible for you or your children to attend in order to maximize your results and to get the most from the program. Here are four reasons why the CTI is the best school in the Lakewood area for children's and adult martial arts:

• Educated Instructors -  We don't hire any outside instructors; each instructor is "home-grown" from white belt and developed into one of our educated instructors. This allows us to provide the very-best in quality instruction. Each black belt instructor has years of martial arts instruction and also instructor development.
• Structured, Dynamic Classes - each class taught is set in a structured environment. Students are led by the instructor through a routine of exercise, basic and advanced Taekwondo techniques. With this structure, students are learning discipline and focus. They aren't running around being wild, they are developing themselves mentally.
• Safe Learning Environment - Each of our campuses is designed with the best quality of instruction in mind. We build our own custom suspension workout floors and have quiet workout areas so students can focus on their learning and not become distracted with outside influences.
• Staff that Cares - All of our teachers put students first, teaching to help our students foster their passion for martial arts in the same way that they learned. Our school isn't a "belt factory" designed to get as many students in the door as possible and promote them in a money-making scheme. Every instructor here cares about their students and wants to encourage and help them develop all of the wonderful things that martial arts have to offer.  Our students come first.  The instructors work to encourage and lead them into being the best student they can be.
