Martial Arts

Master Sung Sop An and his black belt staff from the Rockford Academy instruct all classes. The Rockford Academy is World Tae Kwon Do Federation licensed, which means that each student’s belt level will be recognized anywhere in the world.

The Freeport Park District does not require you to purchase any additional equipment to participate in martial art classes. However, if you would like to move up in the rank/belt system additional equipment, uniform, and testing fees will be determined by your instructor. Participation in competitions outside of the class will require additional registration and equipment fees.
