Oswego has grown fast, and so has the number of Oswego families training at World Class Tae Kwon Do. From Oswego, Route 34 (Ogden Avenue) or Route 30 east to Route 59 puts you at our door in about 15 minutes, a shorter trip than many families make for travel sports.
Our Oswego students attend Oswego Community Unit School District 308 schools, from the elementary schools to Oswego High School and Oswego East, and we plan class times so kids can get here after the bus and still be home for dinner.
Getting here from Oswego
From downtown Oswego and the Route 34 corridor, take Route 34 east through Montgomery, then Route 30 or Montgomery Road east to Route 59 and head north. From the subdivisions along Wolf's Crossing and Route 30 on Oswego's east side, Route 30 east to Route 59 is a straight run. We are on Route 59 in Aurora's Fox Valley area, just south of Fox Valley Mall, with parking on site.

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.”
