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.
