From the reviews
We joined 9 months ago and our girls are absolutely loving it! The staff is super friendly, and having Master Lee as an instructor is such an honor! I highly recommend this family-oriented academy!
Han Lee’s Taekwondo Academy is outstanding! During the Open Colorado Cup Tournament we hosted, I had the opportunity to watch their students and coaches perform, and I was truly impressed. Their students showed incredible strength, focus, and skill — a direct result of the high-quality training they receive.
We have signed our daughter up for many different activities over the years and it wasn’t until she tried Tae Kwon Do that she truly showed an interest in what she was doing. She loves her instructors and looks forward to attending classes 3-4 times per week.
My son started with HLTA as a Little Dragon when he was just 5½ years old. We wanted him involved in something meaningful, and Tae Kwon Do seemed like the perfect way to help build life skills and confidence.
New to taekwondo? Start at Han Lee's Taekwondo Academy
Han Lee's Taekwondo Academy 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 Han Lee's Taekwondo Academy
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.
