Train Taekwondo: Fitness, Confidence, Community

TVMA Academy

TVMA Academy is a Kukkiwon-certified Taekwondo school serving the Algonquin and Lake in the Hills community. Led by Master Eric Ford, a Kukkiwon Certified International Master, Poom/Dan Examiner, and Self-Defense Instructor, our academy blends the tradition of Taekwondo with innovative training programs designed for students of all ages. At TVMA, we believe martial arts is more than kicks and punches, it’s a pathway to confidence, discipline, and leadership. Our programs include children’s classes that build focus and respect, teen and adult martial arts for fitness and stress relief, competitive sparring development, and specialized offerings and seminars. Beyond the mats, TVMA Academy is a community hub. We partner with local schools, sponsor events, and provide outreach programs that emphasize character, mental toughness, and healthy living. Whether your goal is self-defense, fitness, competition, or personal growth, TVMA Academy provides a supportive environment where every student can thrive. Join us on the journey, where tradition meets innovation, and every belt earned represents dedication, growth, and achievement.

<h3>Forfeited Treasures &amp; Second-Chances</h3>
The auction showcases a spectacular, highly anticipated lineup of fine jewelry, luxury watches, and historic coinage that has unexpectedly returned to the public eye. Due to administrative forfeitures, uncollected lots, and unpaid balances from previous events, these high-end assets are being offered once more, presenting an unprecedented second chance for collectors to acquire premium goods. Among the standout jewelry offerings are breathtaking 14K white gold natural emerald earrings and an elegant 1.15 carat Old European cut diamond solitaire ring that sparkles with every color of the spectrum. Watch enthusiasts will marvel at horological masterpieces like a stunning 1940s 14K gold Rolex Explorer, a vintage 1960s Rolex Datejust, and an exquisite 18K gold Angelus Chronodato chronograph. For the coin collector, the numismatic category is equally thrilling, highlighted by a legendary, key-date 1889-CC Carson City Morgan Silver Dollar, beautifully toned Indian Head cents, and rare vintage tokens. This exceptional curation perfectly reflects our identity: Auctioneers of antiques. Collectors of cool. Veterans of vintage.
