The classes are only 30 minutes long, but they know exactly how to work you out for maximum results. When I got pregnant, and could no longer keep up in the classes, they worked out with me individually, and worked around my schedule; and they did not charge me for classes while I was on maternity leave. They treated me like I was family, and not just a client. I have recently started taking Tae Kwon Do here as well, and I am loving it! The classes are physically challenging and mentally stimulating. Rockford Academy is a great place to work out both your body and your mind.

While after 6 years, my daughter has moved onto Cheerleading full-time, Ha's training served as a good basis to build up other skills. I, on the other hand, continue to go today (9+ years later). Originally it was a great way to de-stress from my day and learn some new skills. As time has gone on, I have found (and continue to find) it helps me to grow both physically and mentally. The Grand Master and his instructors want to focus on personal growth and becoming a better person as a result of the training. Having talked to people whom have gone to other gyms, what stands out about Ha's TKD (unlike other gyms) they are not just trying to 'push' you through the process to get a black belt as quickly as possible. They are more focused on character and skills development. They like to ensure you learn the skills to take you to the next (belt) level prior to going to that level. You promote to the next belt when both you and the instructors are confident with your skills. When I think about the amount of growth in skills, flexibility, strength, focus over the years, I am amazed why I did not start sooner! Thanks Master Ha!!

Buyer beware of a place that pushes past accolades, or their father's past accolades. We had experience with a different ATA organization before we moved here, and I wish we had sought out ATA again. Instead, we found a place close to home and the difference is night and day. ATA focuses on character development, real skills, encouraging kids and preventing bullying. The other place focused on money. If you have any doubts, please just try ATA West. We actually got started here through a Groupon, and I am so glad we did. My 7 year old came home tonight asking me what he could do to learn more about self-discipline. He has committed to caring for our dog and running nightly clean-ups-encouraging the whole family to do this. He wants to show us that he can take initiative and do these things without being reminded. I have no doubt he will follow through. This is why I love the ATA program. It is holistic and truly helps your child develop virtues that serve them for a life time.

This child centered training makes learning Taekwondo a great experience for children of all ages. Our son decided on his own to perform a Taekwondo routine for his school talent show.

The Key's gave up their evening in order to help our son achieve his personal best. The two years of training under Master Key paid off. Not only did our son break all of his boards, but he won first place at the talent show! We will never forget that night.
