I had an incredible experience at W Kim tae Kwon do. The instructors were highly skilled and passionate, creating a welcoming and motivating atmosphere. The classes were well-structured, focusing on both physical fitness and mastering techniques. I appreciated the emphasis on discipline, respect, and self-confidence. Whether you’re a beginner or an advanced student, this school is the perfect place to learn and grow in the art of Taekwondo.

I have been a member here for 5 years with my daughter and son. It has been a great experience as a parent to be able to journey with my kids from white belts to 1st degree black belts, on our way to become 2nd degree black belts. This school fosters community and respect for one another. The school goal is to teach the children how to become leaders. They were able to keep classes going during the pandemic which has been great for keeping us active.

It’s been several years since I worked out at W Kim’s. I had several injuries that put me out. I’m not getting any younger. I’d been concerned about redamaging myself and stayed away, always wanting to start again.

I do stop by occasionally. Recently, I learned they were starting a low-impact class on Saturday mornings. This was designed primarily for older Black Belts wanting to start again. The class started two weeks ago, and I’ve attended both classes and will continue to do so.

The Kims have always been like family to us. My family started with them in 1994. Over the years, Tae Kwon Do, and Hap Ki Do had been my passions for a long time. I worked long and hard to reach a second degree black belt. The only reason I didn’t continue initially was that job hours increased, including travel and relocation. We have been back in the area for about 17 years, and I tried to go back several times. Then, a torn rotator cuff and two fused toes. I thought that was the end of my martial arts days.

Now, I have a chance, and I thank the Kims for coming up with a great idea for a new class.

Extraordinary everlasting experience since our first attendance: professional, creative, positive and patient coaches, clean environment. The entire vision focused on becoming better human through hard work, discipline, goal setting. The clear home rules are awesome reminders to perform at your possible best each day. Our boys (8,6,4 y/o) look forward to each session! Very welcoming atmosphere during the training and the events outside the school!

W Kim is the best! Our son has learned not only physical skills of Tae Kwon Do but also grown to be more resilient, mentally strong, and respectful by working with the great instructors. Highly recommend for any kid or adult at any age!

I love the attitude of W Kim and the supportiveness they show the students while still challenging them. The teachers are wonderful and my child is loving their classes.
