Taekwondo America (TA) is the national organization Hilliard Taekwondo Academy is associated with. TA has member schools across the United States. All TA schools, like Hilliard Taekwondo Academy, are not owned by TA, are not "franchises" and will reflect each school owner's unique personality and teaching style. While each school is required to follow the standards set by TA as a minimum for Belt Rank Testing (forms, one-steps, sparing and board breaking) and Instructor promotions, each school may include additional requirements to their program.
