Mr. Mitchell bring the best out of his students, taught them to believe, respect, kindness, be humble, bring confidence to a 8 yrs old shy girl to a champion, and never stop learning. Plus help train on other sports using Taekwondo endurance and foot work. Thank you Sir! Vi
We are new to LTA and very impressed with both the facility as well as Mr. Mitchell and his staff. The facility is spacious, comfortable, & clean plus it is very well equipped. Mr. Mitchell is a very kind, passionate, & dedicated instructor who goes well above & beyond for his student's.
LTA likes a family to us. The classes for both kids and adults. My daughter and I joined it together and loved it since day one. We have learned not only the best Taekwondo, we also have gained friendship, builded up strong confidence and more responsibility for kids. Strongly recommend it to everyone.
New to taekwondo? Start at Lincoln Taekwondo Academy
Lincoln Taekwondo Academy comes up as a beginner-friendly school — noted on their own site. 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 Lincoln 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.
