Train Taekwondo: Fitness, Confidence, Community

TVMA Academy

TVMA Academy is a Kukkiwon-certified Taekwondo school serving the Algonquin and Lake in the Hills community. Led by Master Eric Ford, a Kukkiwon Certified International Master, Poom/Dan Examiner, and Self-Defense Instructor, our academy blends the tradition of Taekwondo with innovative training programs designed for students of all ages. At TVMA, we believe martial arts is more than kicks and punches, it’s a pathway to confidence, discipline, and leadership. Our programs include children’s classes that build focus and respect, teen and adult martial arts for fitness and stress relief, competitive sparring development, and specialized offerings and seminars. Beyond the mats, TVMA Academy is a community hub. We partner with local schools, sponsor events, and provide outreach programs that emphasize character, mental toughness, and healthy living. Whether your goal is self-defense, fitness, competition, or personal growth, TVMA Academy provides a supportive environment where every student can thrive. Join us on the journey, where tradition meets innovation, and every belt earned represents dedication, growth, and achievement.
