About Lead By Example Tae Kwon Do

The Lead by Example Tae Kwon Do studios are family owned and operated. LBE Fair Oaks and South Run are owned by 5th Dan Master Tommy Lightfoot and 4th Dan Master Janet Lightfoot. LBE Great Falls is owned by Mr. Andrew Bellino and his wife, Mrs. Earlena Bellino.

We believe in offering a postiive environment where students can progress in their martial arts careers by not only meeting the goals of the Curriculum, but by setting and achieving their own goals. Lead by Example is not only the name of our studio, but it's also the philosophy that we believe in, where students are encouraged to set a good example in the studio, at home, at school and in life.

What we offer

Our Fair Oaks and South Run studios offers a large, open workout area where students have ample room for pre-class stretching and preparation and our workout floor is lined with padded mats. Heavy bags, body shields, and hand targets are provided for students to work with, as well as a stretch rail for warming up and balance training.

For parents who wish to wait while their children are taking class, we also provide a comfortable waiting area where you can watch the class in progress. WI-FI Internet access is also available for FREE. There is also a kids play area with TV, books, and activities for children who are not taking class, or who have finished and need to wait.

Our Great Falls studio also offers an open, fresh and clean workout area that is also padded with mats. Equipment and a stretch rail is also provided for students for training purposes. Parents are welcome to stay and watch the class in progress and there is also FREE WI-FI Internet access available.

Tae Kwon Do

Our goal is to increase the physical and mental strength of each student. This will create confidence in all aspects of life and produce future leaders. This is achieved through traditional Tae Kwon Do, modern teaching methods and an emphasis on the 7 qualities of a champion.
