Novi & Wixom Youth Martial Arts: Built for Children Ages 6+
Akula Taekwondo is Novi and Wixom’s dedicated training ground for kids, tweens, and teenagers. We don’t run adult fitness classes—our entire focus is on guiding young people through childhood, middle school, and high school with unshakeable self-confidence, athletic coordination, and character.
What Parents Value Most
-
Uncompromising Discipline & Focus: High-repetition drills translate directly into stronger classroom attention spans and everyday listening habits at home.
-
Proactive Bullying Defense: We give children and teens the physical self-defense skills, voice, and upright posture needed to deter peer intimidation.
-
Positive Peer Culture: Your child trains surrounded by motivated role models, mentors, and coaches who reinforce family values and accountability.
What Kids & Teens Experience on the Mat
-
High-Octane Athletic Conditioning: Build speed, agility, flexibility, and real-world martial arts technique in an energizing environment.
-
A Screen-Free Mental Reset: Middle and high school come with heavy academic and social pressure. Taekwondo provides a productive physical outlet to burn off stress and clear the mind.
-
Earned Achievement: Belt ranks are never handed out; they are earned through sweat, dedication, and grit—proving to students that they are capable of achieving anything they work for.

We are extremely grateful for the existence of this school. Our son attends classes with pleasure. And we enthusiastically observe his achievements. Mr. Tegler teaches him not only the basics of taekwondo, but also to be patient and confident to go to the goal. Ideal place for children of all ages
Akula Taekwondo is a great place to learn respect, discipline, honor, humility and to focus. Master Tegler is a kind and patient teacher while building self-confidence, character, and skill in students through mental and physical discipline. His students respect and look up to him. My grandson has gained so much confidence in the 10 months he has been attending. His personality was very shy and insecure, but now he has grown into a very self confident 6 year old. We are so proud of the hard work he has put in (wanting to go everyday!) We look forward to seeing him continue to grow mentally and physically over the years time come.
Akula is an amazing school with passionate leadership. The instructors are amazing role models for young children. Professional and safe through these hard times. 10/10
We love Akula Taekwondo!! We have been going consistently over the past few months and I have a seen a positive change in my child. Akula has taught my son discipline, focus, respect, and of course Taekwondo! All of the instructors have been fantastic in their teachings and the look on my son’s face when he receives a stripe or new belt is priceless! I highly recommend Akula Taekwondo as a great extracurricular activity for any child!
Instructor Joseph is one of the most enthusiastic instructors I have met so far. He is doing a great job. Go Akula
Our son loves Akula! He looks forward to every practice. Joseph is great teaching the kids and balances basics, technique, discipline and fun. Natalia is so helpful and friendly as are all the students and instructors. They treat us like family. We love it here!
We’re very happy we found this Akula taekwondo class! Mr. Tegler runs the sessions in a great way — they start with fun physical activities and everything is well organized. The kids are respectful and well disciplined during class, which we really appreciate as parents. Most importantly, our son loves going and always looks forward to it.
My Son and my Daughter have been attending the classes at Akula from last One year, they hardly missed a class and they don’t want to miss any. Akula has classes for all age groups and especially the younger ones are so excited and happy to be in the class. Mr. Tegler is an excellent instructor and is very humble; all kids love him and respect him. I Highly Recommend!
