Our goals at Great Lakes Global Taekwon-Do include making our students the best martial artists they can become by practicing the true traditional form of Taekwon-Do as laid down by its founder General Choi Hong Hi. By promoting and emphasizing it's ideals and tenets, courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self control, and indomitable spirit in each class, and in all areas of their lives. At Great Lakes Global Taekwon-Do we study the "ART" of Taekwon-Do. Although students progress from white belts to black belt, our emphasize is not on just achieving a particular rank but the learning and understanding the "art or do" of Taekwon-Do. Our certification is recognized Nationally and Internationally. Our school was started in 1997. Our main school is located in Sylvania, Ohio. Our school has produced world class athletes who have won gold medals and Jr. Overall titles, in world championships.
