We are committed to continually enhancing our programs to address exercise, technique, safety tips and a realistic approach to self-defense situations. We "Build Confidence Through Achievement" and provide an environment conducive to positive relationships, fostering self-discipline and self-confidence and self-respect.
Our Little Leaders program was designed specifically for children ages 4 & 5 years old. In Little Leaders class, we use TaeKwonDo as the applicator for teaching pre-skills and life-lessons. Lessons like listening and concentration, sharing and co-operation in group environments, following directions, and finally, mom's way dad's way teacher's way right away are a few examples of the life lessons included.
Was doing Martial Arts your idea or your child's? We are here to deliver to both of you! Parents love the lessons in respect and leadership as well as the great exercise that their children get in our classes. Parents also like the positive changes in attitude and effort that occurs from consistent training.

My son has been attending the academy for over a year and we have been beyond impressed. First off, Mr. Lewis is a talent teacher. He works not only on the physical traits needed to become a black belt, but also on become a well-rounded person who demonstrates the tenants of taekwondo. He fosters a great sense of community and the students encourage each other. Secondly, he has been greatly understanding of family health issues and working with our family to allow our son to continue in his classes.

Both my son and daughter have been taking classes since they were 5. My son is now 10 and my daughter 6. My son has earned his black belt. We started the classes to help my son harness his excess energy and learn some self discipline. He’s learned the value of perseverance and the lessons he has learned in the class go beyond the dojo. My daughter has grown in confidence and it’s the one activity that she has consistently stayed with.

My daughter has been studying here for years, Greg Lewis is not only a remarkable teacher, he has gone over and above as a friend to help us with different situations.
My daughter respects him and her peers, he has been a critical part of teaching her more than just martial arts & I’m grateful for that.
If you're looking for a superb place for your child to learn martial arts, life long leadership & many other excellent characteristics... look no further.

My son has loved his experience at Cincinnati Taekwondo Academy with Mr. Lewis. It is a great learning environment for all athletic ability where the students feel safe to make mistakes and move forward. We also love the diverse set of families that attend. The curriculum is a good balance of individual effort, rewards and new skills. I noticed a comment about the length of some of lectures, - sometimes they are long but learning to sit and listen with respect is a life skill that is hard and more important than ever. I think the balance of movement and listening is there across the different cycles

Mr Lewis has taught both of my daughters Tae Kwon Do and they are currently second degree black belts. My dad used to take them to class and he (and us!!) was always impressed by how much Mrs Lewis talked and taught about life. Martial arts has such potential to build great character, perseverance, and determination - I watched my girls grow in remarkable ways thanks to their training!

My son has been at Cincinnati Taekwondo Academy since he was 4 years old and we absolutely love it. He is now 7 and has a huge amount of confidence Mr. Lewis is not only an amazing instructor but someone who has taught my son some very important life lessons. I would highly recommend your son or daughter taking his class.
