Welcome to Taekwondo!

We have been teaching Taekwondo in Erin, Tennessee since 2007.  Both Mrs. Olivia Rosado and Mrs. Lila Gunson started Taekwondo in 1998 and quickly obtained their black belts, before becoming certified instructors.  They began their training under Tony Lewis and then continued with Robert Trent for several years until they opened Taekwondo Academy of Erin in October 2007.
Taekwondo Academy of Erin is a member club-school of the Choong Sil Taekwondo Federation (Founded and Directed by GrandMaster Robert Hardin, 9th Dan Black Belt). The CTF certifies your rank promotions nationally, as well as provides you several tournament opportunities throughout the year.  At tournaments, you can test your skills against students of a similar age and rank from other schools and make new friends (which become like family!)
In 2015, 2016, 2017, and again in 2018, we were honored as the Choong Sil Taekwondo Federation's Small Club of the Year, which recognized our students' hard work, participation in CTF events, as well as promotion of students through color ranks and black belts.

We are passionate about Taekwondo and its many benefits for people of all ages.
