★★★★★ — Blackstone, Mar 2022

We've been with Midwest Taekwondo for almost 3 years! We absolutely love the family environment, and the friends we've made. The instructors are amazing and are great with all ages and abilities. I think anyone looking to try TKD or just martial arts in general should definitely come check MTA out!

★★★★★ — Nicole, Mar 2022

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about this taekwondo school. Having teachers this invested in their students is a rarity. They also teach proper technique and are very invested in the taekwondo community, including running tournaments. There is also not a better value around.

★★★★★ — Carrie, Mar 2022

I have nothing negative about this group I can call a family. Not only are they amazing teachers of Tae Kwon Do but also character. I would recommend this Dojo to anyone wanting to learn self defense or a martial art.

New to taekwondo? Start at Midwest Taekwondo Academy

Midwest 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 Midwest 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.

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.
