| Sharps Taekwondo |
| We have been open for over 15 years and teach taekwondo along with hapkido, grappling, weapons, and other martial arts. With over 28 years of martial arts experience we are dedicated to teaching excellence. Our dojang is located inside the Hickory Point Mall next to Kohls in Forsyth, Il. People from all over central Illinois come to train and learn martial arts in a clean and safe environment. Discipline and respect are top priority at our school. Our program helps with building confidence and teaching self-defense that works. Our rank system is one that teaches you how to set goals and attain them. You will earn your rank, not just buy a belt, and thus feel better about it. We welcome everyone to come and watch and see what Sharp's Taekwondo & Hapkido has to offer. |
