Why is our Novi Martial Arts School called Akula Taekwondo?
Owner, Founder and Head Instructor, Joseph Tegler, has Ukrainian heritage and loves fishing, snorkeling, and water-skiing–pretty much everything on and in the water. When choosing a name for his school, he gave a nod to his Ukrainian heritage and to his love of the sea. Sharks are amazing animals: strong, smart, fast, and brave. Plus, Akula is a cool name.
Learn the Martial Art that’s in the Olympics and at Major Universities
Our martial arts school follows the World Taekwondo (WT) system – the biggest martial arts system in the world. Further, instructors draw on their training in Karate, Jiu Jitsu, Tang Soo Do, and Hapkido to offer a well-rounded curriculum.

Benefits of Taekwondo Classes
Our martial arts students are committed to Taekwondo training. That’s because they see the positive effects of martial arts practice on their lives. Many of our kids and teens aim to achieve Black Belts (or gain higher degrees of Black Belt). We wholeheartedly support their endeavours.
Taekwondo training is an ideal, whole-body method for improving mental, emotional, and physical health. This martial arts discipline creates bodies and spirits that thrive, even in tough times.
Kids and teens get super-fit through martial arts training in our studio. Taekwondo (Korean Karate) is a great total body workout. Students see improvements in stamina, muscle tone, flexibility, balance, and strength.
By learning martial arts skills and improving physical conditioning, Taekwondo (Korean Karate) practitioners become more comfortable in all situations. Good self-esteem is useful in dangerous situations, as well as when doing tasks that take us beyond our comfort zones. Our students SHINE because they build self-confidence, boost self-esteem, and develop positive relationships in classes.
From the first day of Wixom Taekwondo class, students are challenged to think as well as act. Learning forms and movements reinforces working memory. That’s why scientific studies count the martial art of Taekwondo among effective therapies for ADD and ADHD.
Taekwondo (Korean Karate) emphasizes self-discipline and self-control as a core component of its teachings. Self-leadership and the ability to deal with others in a mature way is the result.
Kicking, punching, and screaming are a great stress release for all ages. (Read more about how Taekwondo is great training for tough times here.)
Honesty, courtesy, integrity, perseverance, and excellence are curriculum areas of focus. These qualities help kids and teens become great leaders and good human beings.
