We want our students to not only be confident in themselves, but to also be effective in making good choices, decisions, and being able to defend themselves.
While many schools focus on fun and games we believe that we can have fun while training without sacrificing precious class time on games.
Martial Arts in and of itself has been known to not only help but improve students lives that have trouble paying attention, staying focused, and learning. Traditional martial arts has been doing this for decades without smoke and mirrors and without the use of so called unaccredited “Child development courses”

Blackhawk Taekwondo is a student and family first traditional martial arts training school that is veteran owned and operated. We pride ourselves in putting our families, students, and the art of Taekwondo first and business second. With this philosophy you will find that there are no gimmicks, no fine print, no smoke and mirrors, just real Masters and Instructors with a passion to teach, learn, and grow the art of Taekwondo in our community.
We have over 40 years experience in Taekwondo, training and competing globally, and a training and study program that has been developed and passed down for generations. When you arrive at our school you will notice that the curriculum has not been watered down or bought from third party sources like some others, it is traditional and effective..
You will also find here that adults and children have separate class times for training. This is especially important for parents who need an hour to focus on themselves without any distractions. Adults will also learn to not only be more confident, but also get stronger, and let go of the stress that comes with being an adult. We believe that the stress you come in with should be left on the mat and not picked back up and carried with you when you leave. You will notice differences in training between the age groups because we create classes based on the need of the student. The need of a 10 year old is not the same need as an adult. We believe in balance between a healthy mind and body to go along with the ability to take control of a situation at a moments notice.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most frequent questions and answers about our martial arts Training programs
Bullies are rooted in insecurity and fear. But our Carpentersville kids martial arts classes grow confidence, focus, and respect. And our group training builds positive social skills and confidence. So long story short: No! Your child won’t become a bully, and there are no bullies in our classes either!
That is up to you! If you need some ‘me time’ — go grab a coffee and relax. Your child is in great hands. If you’d like to stay and observe, you’re welcome to do that as well, and make friends with the other parents. We’ve got a great community here in our Carpentersville martial arts school and can’t wait for you to become part of it.
No way! Some students have come to us that never exercised in their lives or do not workout often. Others have athlete-levels of fitness. That’s the beauty of martial arts and Taekwondo everyone starts at the same place. Although you’re in a group setting, you’re on your own personal journey. Some people advance faster than others. Every pace is okay. The key is to not compare yourself to others. There’s no ego here in our kids and adult martial arts classes. Just support and positivity.
There is no real answer for this! And we’d urge you to be cautious of any school that gives you one. The truth is, the path to black belt is a deeply personal and individual journey. Some folks have natural talent and practice hard every day. Other people need to spend more time building coordination and fitness.
It’s not about getting to black belt. It’s about you becoming a better version of yourself along the way. As you train, overcome obstacles, make friends, find support — you’ll become a stronger you, inside and out.

Some of our top students were unfit and uncoordinated at first. Now they’re performing techniques they never dreamed possible. The confidence they gained realizing what they were capable of is the biggest gift of the process.
