Specialized Training
Poomsae and Sparring Classes
Our Competition Team athletes receive focused instruction in both Poomsae and Sparring to strengthen their skills and prepare for high-level performance.

Together, these classes give our athletes the foundation they need to succeed in tournaments and grow as martial artists.

Poomsae focuses on the art of forms, combining accuracy, control, and power. Athletes refine stances, strikes, and sequences to showcase both technical mastery and mental focus. Training in Poomsae builds discipline and sharpens skills that are essential for success in competition.
Train with Purpose
Sharpen Your Edge in Sparring
Sparring develops agility, timing, and strategy in a dynamic setting. Athletes practice offensive and defensive techniques, learning how to adapt and respond in real time. Through this training, students gain confidence, improve conditioning, and prepare to compete at their best.

“I have been taking my five-year-old son to this club for six months now, and recently I brought my 10-year-old daughter to this club. Attentive, positive trainers quickly found a common language with my children. Thanks to the demanding trainers, my son has become more disciplined. The children are happy to go to training.”

“My son loves coming to Lions Taekwondo Academy, he enjoys the classes, loves the teachers and staff. Being a beginner and crying a few times at first made me doubt him being ready as he is only 3 years old but the teachers put effort into making him feel comfortable and were very patient with him. Now he goes with a big smile and it's very fun! I highly recommend it!”
