ABOUT US
Midwest Academy of Taekwon-Do gives children and adults an opportunity to train in the martial art of TaeKwon-Do. The students will develop a better sense of self worth so critical in this day and age to try to keep our children safe and out of harms way. We build our program on respect and attitude.
​
MATKD's intention is to increase athleticism through our training and build outstanding individuals who believe in themselves and respect others. They will realize what is learned in the dojang (gym) can be used in their everyday lives.
CONFIDENCE
​Taekwon-Do empowers children and adults to believe in themselves by setting and achieving personal goals, mastering new skills, and learning to speak up—literally! From earning belts to performing in front of others, each step builds resilience and self-assurance. With a focus on individual progress and positive reinforcement, students grow more confident not just in class, but in life.
SELF-DEFENSE
Taekwon-Do teaches students more than just how to block or strike—it builds the awareness, discipline, and confidence they need to stay safe. Through structured training, students learn how to recognize danger, avoid conflict, and respond effectively if needed. It’s self-defense with a purpose: empowering students to stand tall, think clearly, and protect themselves responsibly—all in a fun, supportive environment
DISCIPLINE
In Taekwon-Do, discipline isn’t just taught—it’s lived. Students thrive in a structured environment where respect, focus, and perseverance are woven into every class. From bowing to instructors to setting goals for belt advancement, students learn the value of consistency, self-control, and hard work. These habits don’t stay on the mat—they carry into school, home, and beyond, helping them grow into responsible, confident individuals.
