From the reviews

My 9 year old daughter has been attending the CTI Littleton Campus for a little over a year. I can't say enough good things about CTI. The community is amazing. The teachers are supportive.

★★★★★ — Rachel, Jan 2025

The teachers are great and work so well with my two boys. They enjoy and want to return which says much. It feels like a nice big extended family. I would recommend this to all my friends! Thank you CTI!! Update: 5-14-2021 I now have my three kids going here.

★★★★★ — Michelle, May 2021

Perfect for all ages. My 2 boys have been in for a few years now and it has been wonderful to see them grow. Every instructor cares about the students and have a passion for what they do.

★★★★★ — Clayton, Feb 2022

My three year old son joined the school almost six months ago and he absolutely loves it! As a parent, I love his instructor and the structure of the classes. I was a little worried about him starting at his age, but his instructor is absolutely incredible and patient with his age group.

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.

Taekwondo is a martial art and a contact sport. Ease in, listen to your instructors, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
