My 15-year-old daughter started taking lessons about four months ago, we wanted her to be able to protect herself if she ever needed to, so this was our idea first, as it turns out she absolutely loves the class and loves learning from Master An’s and Master Matt, and looks forward to going every week. They are also instilling a great sense of confidence, discipline, and humbleness to her. I cannot say enough about Rockford academy taekwondo, would highly recommend it!

My daughter loves the little ninja program! She looks forward to it every week. She is very shy and not into team sports, so this is perfect for her. Master An and Mr Matt are friendly and very patient with the kids. Her confidence and self esteem has improved and she is more outgoing and social, thanks to Rockford Academy.

We were very pleased with our boys starting Tae-Kwon-Do. Master An and Mr. Matt are so patient with the children. They push them to do their best for each class. Master An gives them various skills to practice throughout the week. The boys have earned their first belt through practice and hard work. They were proud of themselves and are so confident in their ability to defend themselves. The boys look forward to attending class every week.

Master An and Master Matt are great teachers. My five year old loves training and learning at Rockford Academy. They not only strengthen and train the body, but also the heart and mind. They strive to instill valuable skills and values in your child. My son looks forward to each and every class, and so do I. He comes home with a feeling of accomplishment every single time. I highly recommend Master An and Rockford Academy. Thank you Master An! Kane loves it.
