About Us
Our Instructors
All classes at Rodgers’ TaeKwonDo Academy are
taught by ITA Certified Instructors. These individuals have dedicated
their lives to the ITA method and have trained for a number of years
as a martial artist and an educator. Our instructors are expected to
continue to train, providing a much needed insight into teaching.
Consistent and continuous training will make the Instructor more
creative, realistic and effective.
Our instructors know how to teach and motivate
students of all ages and abilities using the ITA curriculum. This
type of instructor certification is unique to our organization and
insures the ongoing quality of our classes.
