Find the Right Class for Your Schedule.
Tell us who will be training and we will personally match the student with the appropriate current class options. Every class is taught by Grandmaster Anthony Iannone and Master Cristina Iannone—not teenagers or rotating outside instructors.
Training Built Around the Student’s Stage of Life.
Blackhawk does not place preschoolers, teenagers and adults into the same general class. Each program uses structure, language and expectations appropriate for that age group.
Little Hawks
Listening, coordination, balance, confidence and introductory TaeKwonDo skills in a developmentally appropriate class.
Kids & Teens
Traditional technique, discipline, concentration, confidence and steady progress through consistent effort.
Adults
Dedicated adult training focused on traditional technique, practical skills, conditioning, mobility and confidence.
Tell Us Who Will Be Training. We’ll Find the Best Current Options.

Real Google reviews provide a better picture of the instruction, atmosphere and experience families receive after choosing their class.
A Schedule Works Better When the School Works for Your Family.
Blackhawk provides more than 5,500 square feet of fully matted training space so students have room for fundamentals, forms and controlled partner training. A separate 2,000-square-foot parent lounge gives families a comfortable place to remain onsite without distracting the class.
Most importantly, the people responsible for Blackhawk’s standards are also present on the training floor. Grandmaster Anthony and Master Cristina lead the instruction themselves, observe progress firsthand and help every student develop within a consistent system.

What Families Should Know Before Their First Class.
How do I get the current class times?
Select the student’s age group and submit the schedule request form, or call or text Blackhawk at (224) 241-7708. We will personally provide the appropriate current class options and help choose the best first class.
Can my child attend an adult class or train with a sibling in another age group?
Students train in the program designed for their age. Preschoolers, school-age students, teens and adults have different developmental needs and training goals.
Who teaches the scheduled classes?
Your class is led directly by Grandmaster Anthony Iannone and Master Cristina Iannone. The owners remain responsible for regular instruction rather than turning classes over to teenage students or a changing group of outside instructors.
What should a trial student wear?
For the trial, choose a T-shirt with comfortable athletic pants that allow unrestricted movement. Please leave shorts, tank tops, yoga pants and leggings at home. Bring a water bottle and plan to arrive about 10 minutes before class.
Can parents stay during class?
Yes. A parent or guardian must remain onsite during a child’s trial class. Blackhawk’s separate parent lounge provides room to relax, talk and observe without interrupting instruction.
Can class times change?
Schedules may occasionally change for holidays, testing, special events or school operations. New trial students receive confirmation of their first class before attending.
