By teaching combination of these arts produce a well rounded martial arts experience.

We also offer Children’s classes. We incorporate the CPC (Children’s Personal Conduct) Program into our everyday curriculum, with the expectation to have a lasting and profound impact on each and every student that attends our school.

Meet the Business Owner

GrandmasterHahn J.

Business Owner

I have been training in martial arts since I was eight years old. Through the years I have trained with five Grandmasters: Grandmaster Ahn Young Kim, In Soo Hwang, Ho Soo Hwang, Moo Soo Hwang, and Hyun Moon Kim.

Grandmaster Ahn Young Kim, head of the Chang Moo Kwon School in Seoul Korea. I learned at an early age that this is a very serious art.

Grandmaster Inn Soo Hwang, master of Judo he taught me to relax and enjoy the teaching process.

Grandmaster Ho Soo Hwang was a very physical and powerful Tae Kwon Do and Hapkido master. He made sure I knew the bottom line that this is the martial arts.

Grandmaster Moo Soo Hwang, master of Aikido, He taught me to embrace humanity and to be gentle with everyone.

Grandmaster Hyun Moon Kim, Sun Do master, awakened my spiritual side and taught me the wonders of life and the cosmos.

Thus this is my past that I shall pass on to you, our legacy has deep roots and it is profound.

Carry on…

Grandmaster Andrew Hahn

I don’t attend this school but my boyfriend does. I go in support of him and always enjoy myself watching the class. Everyone is super nice and very qualified at what they do. I would recommend this for small children and also adults interested in self defense.

Improve your mind and body. Protect yourself. Grow your inner strength.
I have been training at IMAC since June, and previously taken Tae Kwon Do about 14 years prior. Some of the techniques are formed in my memory, but the International Martial Arts Center is unique amongst organizations which teach the martial arts. Not only does IMAC unify different styles of martial arts and teach them in accordance with each student’s strengths, IMAC also provides a space where every student is given individual attention and taught respect, integrity, and humility through innovative practice and positive performance evaluations.
If I’m performing a technique in an ineffective way, one of the teachers, higher ranks, or Grand Master Hahn himself, will come over and show me how it is done correctly. With patience and sincere desire to help me improve. There is no individual competitive drive, just a unified effort for excellence!
At IMAC I have been learning Tae Kwon Do as the main art but incorporating techniques from other Asian arts, such as Hapkido and Chi (meditation), to develop a complete martial art system.
IMAC gives me confidence that I will be able to protect myself should I need to, the ability to get a great workout, and a place to clear my mind.

A great place to train, Grand Master Hahn is a great teacher abd the school teaches a very effective martial arts system that is very effective. The school is run in a safe and fun way. While it is a great tradional Tae Kwon Do school, the Hapkidi training is amazing.

I have been training at this school for over 2 years and it has been life changing. The sense of community at IMAC was apparent as soon as I walked through the door on my first day. Everyone who trains there is welcoming and open — and the respect for all is contagious. Grandmaster Hahn works with every student and he, along with all the black belt instructors, are some of the most inspirational teachers I have ever worked with. The curriculum is challenging (Taekwando and Hapkido) and the work-​outs definitely keep you fit and flexible. I highly recommend this school to anyone looking for an all-​around place to grow yourself (or begin your journey) as a martial artist.

I was looking for a sport that I wouldn’t be sick of after few months. I have a very short attention span and was really sick of going the gym. It was by chance that I found IMAC but I’ve been committed ever since that first class. The primary focus of the school is tae kwon do, but it also combines various other disciplines such as Hapkido and Sundo. The positive energy from Grandmaster Hahn permeates the dojang and encourages everyone to learn and practice the art at their peak. It’s not just a place to learn how to punch and kick (there is a lot of that too) It’s a place where you can learn a whole new way of living.

I have been training at IMAC for about five months and now that I’m moving away from the city, it will be one of the things I miss most. I took martial arts a little bit in high school but I was basically a beginner when I started here, and what a great place to train. The community there is superb: everyone is extremely helpful and supportive, you get an awesome workout, and Master Hahn is an amazing instructor. I only hope that once I move I’ll be able to find a place that measures up!

I consider this martial arts school to be one of the best because the atmosphere is very supportive and not overflowing with a brawn over brains mentality. I hope to be training here for as long as possible.
