From the reviews
I absolutely love my experience with the Colorado Taekwondo Institute. Since I joined, I have experienced so many positive health benefits. Being an adult, I love being in class with other adults and having other adults with the same experience and level. I have gotten better flexibility and overall fitness.
I’ve been attending Taekwondo classes with Colorado Taekwondo Institute for 15 years now and I can confidently say this is a wonderful location for martial arts training. There truly aren’t enough words to describe how good of an experience I’ve had with the CTI.
CTI is an incredible organization for all ages. The Taekwondo here truly benefits the body and the mental health, and has lasting affects on those who practice it.
I originally started with the Colorado Taekwondo institute back in 1990, at the age of 11 years old. And I made many great memories and met some life long friends. Unfortunately, I ended up moving away back in 1994. However, thanks to modern technology, I’m now able to continue my taekwondo journey, 30 years later.
New to taekwondo? Start at Colorado Taekwondo Institute
Colorado Taekwondo Institute comes up as a beginner-friendly school, going by their listing and students’ reviews. If you've never trained or set foot in a dojang, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and instructors scale the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable schools build fundamentals (stances, blocks, kicks, and basic forms) for weeks, sparring eases in gradually and with gear on, and instructors keep it controlled and safe. Third, all ages and all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most schools are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first taekwondo class at Colorado Taekwondo Institute
Nervous about walking into a taekwondo school 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 warm-up, then drilling basic stances, blocks, and kicks with a partner or on pads — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: loose athletic wear you can move in (or a dobok if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the floor. What to bring: water and a positive attitude — many schools lend a loaner dobok for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll get your own dobok and belt, and sparring gear (mouthguard, headgear, and guards) once you begin sparring. Sparring eases in gradually, once your fundamentals and forms are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the instructor. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
