Dragon Martial Arts of Round Lake is hands down one of the best Taekwondo schools in the area! Their flexible schedule is a lifesaver for busy families, and the 1-hour classes provide more value compared to the usual 45-minute sessions found elsewhere.
The master does very well with all age groups. I am so satisfied with this place , I am so proud of my kids achievements so far.I highly recommend.
Coach Sergio is a Great Master/teacher for all children. He has great knowledge, experience, patience with the children. He takes his teaching very serious. He is also very respectful and kind individual. His knowledge in martial arts is extensive, from forms, sparring, kick boxing, nunchucks.

Your first taekwondo class at Dragon Martial Arts of Round Lake
Nervous about walking into a taekwondo school for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good instructors expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic stances, blocks, and kicks with a partner or on pads — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: loose athletic wear you can move in (or a dobok if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the floor. What to bring: water and a positive attitude — many schools lend a loaner dobok for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll get your own dobok and belt, and sparring gear (mouthguard, headgear, and guards) once you begin sparring. Sparring eases in gradually, once your fundamentals and forms are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the instructor. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
