From the reviews
Had an amazing experience at Northlake Martial Arts Academy! The instructors are incredibly skilled, patient, and dedicated to helping students grow in both skill and confidence. The environment is welcoming, and the training is top-notch. A huge thank you to Mr.
Northlake ATA has done wonders for our son. the instructors are very good and personable. if you are on the fence come try and see it for yourself.
Amazing studio! Love the staff and instructors here, they truly care about every student that walks through the door. I have known the owners and had the privilege to train under them since I started at 4 years old, 24 years ago!
Great family friendly environment. Instructors are experienced and knowledgeable and they do a fantastic job with kids. We shopped around before we found Northlake ATA and I’m glad we found them.
New to taekwondo? Start at Northlake Martial Arts Academy
Northlake Martial Arts 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 Northlake Martial Arts 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.
