Jae Hun Kim Taekwon-do Institute

This school is incredibly special and has played a pivotal role in my life. It has given me strength, confidence, fitness, and community in a way other activities and studios have not and I am so grateful that I decided to come here and continue my martial arts training. Mr. Kim is an amazing mentor and has truly built such a special system here that is legitimate and trains you to learn the true art of Taekwondo.

A growth-positive environment with no toxicity. You will only grow in this school. Classes are about as straight forward as it gets and instead of 1000s of push-ups and other off topic things that almost all other places push on their students, this school just does Taekwondo. Straight to the point so you can focus on all the right stuff. And you also get to train with the most nurturing and supportive teachers in martial arts ever! This legendary school is a must do at least once in a lifetime. Don't deprive yourself of the amazing experience that is Jae H. Kim Taekwondo!

This dojang reignited my love for martial arts after a past injury left me hesitant to return. It helped me rebuild trust, strength, and confidence. Grandmaster Kim is an incredible teacher — patient, passionate, and deeply committed to his students. You can feel how much care and heart he puts into every class. Though I’m moving away before earning my black belt, I’m so grateful for the time I had here. This school truly empowered me, and I hope to return to taekwondo someday with this foundation.

Every instructor is phenomenal, with adults and children. It is a gift that for more than 50 years, students in Boston have daily access to Grandmaster Kim. I was a student when I was 15, and then returned to the school three decades later to help with recovery following leg surgery. In the months that followed, I was amazed and thankful for the transformation that took place. My balance, strength, & flexibility have come a long way. I’ve also lost a few lbs. But most importantly, I’m learning about history, culture, and movement techniques from expert, perceptive, kind teachers. Forms, sparring, foundation — it’s well done here and all skill levels are welcome. I recommend this school to anyone looking for some positive change in their routine.

My son has ADHD and been attending since July. I have seen so much improvement in his self confidence, body awareness, auditory processing and impulse control. Everyone is kind and supportive and the teachers do a great job providing firm but loving instruction to the students. We love Jae Hun Kim Taekwon-do Institute!
