My 7 and 5 years old kids have been going to Master Kim for few months now and they really enjoy coming to the classes. Master Kim and all other instructors makes it super fun and easy to learn. Their attention to details are amazing to make sure the kids are doing the moves correctly. I would definitely recommend them to anyone.

We signed up our 7 and 4 year old for the $30 2 week trial. And we went to our first class last night and I am just blown away with the instructors. Every single one of them were AMAZING with all the kids. My 7 year old is extremely shy and they broke him out of his shell so fast, it was incredible to see! It was a fairly larger class but there were at least 6-8 instructors and they were very great about personalized instructions and teaching in a fun but constructive way for all skill levels. My kids had never done Tae Kwon do before and all they want to do now is go back and learn more! You get a free uniform with signing up as well, plenty of seats for parents to watch the class and they really use the most of the whole 45 mins!

Best instructors ever who are always super attentive to each individual kid. I am so glad that we decided to enroll our daughter into their black belt program. Best decision ever and I highly recommend choosing to enroll your kids here. There are so many good lessons that are being taught on top of taekwondo!

Our 10 year old son has been attending Master Kim’s Tae Kwon Do for nearly 3 years and the experience has been amazing for him. From the moment he stepped in as a white belt, the instructors welcomed him with patience, encouragement, and a clear passion for teaching. Master Kim’s core values of community, growth and integrity have been emphasized every step along the way. Their training has helped our son increase his confidence, self discipline, respect, and perseverance. They are constantly encouraging him to grow and develop not just as a martial artist but as a person. Watching him progress from day 1 as a white belt and ultimately earning his black belt has been an incredible journey. The instructors and staff have always pushed him to do his best while celebrating every milestone along the way. This school has truly become like a second home, and we’re so grateful for the confidence, focus, and lifelong skills he’s gained here. Shout out to Mr. Landon, Mr. Arash and Master Ryker for always taking time to push him beyond what he thought he was capable of. Highly recommend to any family looking for a top-notch martial arts program!

Master Kim and his staff are fantastic! Every instructor there is at least a black belt and dedicated to this art and to Master Kim’s leadership. Our girls are not only learning how to kick and punch but more importantly, how to respect their parents, their Masters, their peers and themselves. Respect is not really taught anywhere else at this level in school or other sports related classes. They are also learning a different culture and language (Korean). Master Kim’s accent, at first I thought was a hindrance, is actually great for students to understand how to communicate with people from a different part of the world, another super valuable skill set for life. Lastly I love how attentive Master Kim is to our asks and suggestions. I hope our girls will continue this journey and I highly recommend you consider bringing your family here as well.
