North Aurora families reach World Class Tae Kwon Do by hopping on I-88 at Orchard Road, heading east to Route 59 and turning south. The whole trip is about 20 minutes, and it brings you to a school whose instructors and program are worth it.
Our North Aurora students attend West Aurora District 129 schools and Batavia District 101 schools, and many of their families first found us through a friend who trains here.
Getting here from North Aurora
Take Orchard Road to I-88 east, exit at Route 59 and head south. You will pass the Fox Valley Mall area and New York Street; we are on the right about a mile south, on Route 59 in Aurora's Fox Valley area at the Naperville border. Surface streets via Indian Trail or New York Street east to Route 59 work too.

What parents say
“We highly recommend World Class Tae Kwon Do. The masters are the exact role models that a parent wants for their children. Teaching life skills far beyond a martial art. Skills such as goal setting, hard work, team work, self confidence, and dedication.”
“This school has made such a huge impact on both my grade school age son and high school age daughter's confidence, drive and respect for others. I can't say enough good about the instructors and the level of care they give to each and every one of their students! Highly recommended!”
“I cannot praise Master Eskew, Master P, and Miss Gates enough. The 3 of them are fantastic teachers, enthusiastic, and great with both kids and adults. The encouragement and attention they give is second to none. Highly recommend this school and these instructors.”
