Westminster Martial Arts

There are currently six Colorado Taekwondo Institute (CTI) campuses, including the Westminster Campus, serving students in Arvada, Westminster, Leyden, Candelas, Broomfield, and more. Located on 88th Ave, the Colorado Taekwondo Institute Westminster martial arts school is nestled right on the border of Arvada and Westminster. You can find the campus in the southeast corner of the Lake Plaza Shopping Center. Some nearby amenities for students and their families to enjoy are I Heart Sushi, Applauze Salon, Sano’s Italian Kitchen, and Sideways Sports Lounge.  

The CTI Westminster martial arts school teaches Moo Sul Kwan taekwondo, a Korean martial art similar to karate or kung fu. Students at the CTI Westminster campus receive a martial arts education focused on self-defense and good exercise habits. They also receive consistent teachings around the tenets of taekwondo: courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self-control, and indomitable spirit. These tenets are at the core of our taekwondo curriculum, and students are encouraged to develop these characteristics in class and in their monthly homework and written tests for their next belt. 

Potential students of all ages can find a high-quality martial arts class at the CTI Westminster campus. Our preschool martial arts students focus primarily on energy release, motor skills, and listening skills in the Tigers class. At the end of every class, the Tigers talk with their instructor about self-control and how to treat others with respect. Tigers learn ‘self-control before self-defense,’ which teaches them when to use the kicks and punches they’ve learned in class. 

Students aged five to twelve can enjoy CTI Westminster’s fun kids’ martial arts classes. The Juniors focus on physical fitness, building self-confidence, and respecting themselves and others. The kids’ martial arts classes also teach students strong leadership skills as they work towards achieving each belt and, ultimately, their black belt. The CTI Westminster Juniors will also benefit from improved study skills as they take their written exams for their next belt. 

Teen martial arts classes at the CTI Westminster campus are a great opportunity for young adults to develop lifelong skills and healthy habits. Teen taekwondo students learn extremely valuable skills in discipline, goal setting, and leadership that they can take with them into adulthood. Teenagers also benefit from increasing physical fitness, building self-confidence, and improving focus. 

Adult martial arts students can benefit greatly from taking taekwondo classes at CTI Westminster. For the adult CTI Westminster student, a strong focus on goal-oriented action is used to help students learn how to stick with an exercise regime. Adult taekwondo students can learn new physical fitness skills, focus, and self-defense in a fun group exercise environment dedicated to supporting new students in reaching their fitness goals. 

The Westminster martial arts school hosts all of these classes in a 4,500 sq ft facility with three spacious workout areas. Each classroom has a custom-built suspension floor to reduce any stress on the body during each workout. The school also has two changing rooms, a water bottle filling station, and a spacious lobby. Each classroom has a viewing area for friends and family to watch their students. 

There are six highly qualified black belt instructors at the Colorado Taekwondo Institute Westminster campus. The head instructor is Grandmaster Erik Albrechtson, certified by the American Martial Arts Sports and Education Association as a 7th-degree black belt, who has 33 years of Moo Sul Kwan Taekwondo experience. Grandmaster Albrechtson founded the CTI Westminster campus in 2004.
