K Kim Taekwondo

Love this studio. Master and instructors great with kids. Seen huge changes in my son.

The new changes with the studio are very upsetting. They have changed to a new «Warriors» program. We chose this studio because they were part of the World Federation of TKD. Accordingly, the belts earned would be recognized at any affiliated WTF studio. Now suddenly, everything has changed. The belt colors changed– some stripped belts completely disappeared! That along with the push to agree to commit to a three year program at $ 8,000+ in tuition and a yearly tuition increase of over $ 1000 plus $ 300 for registration is crazy!
Although, I did have concerns of this studio being a «Mc Dojo» (I never witnessed anyone not advancing despite how badly they messed up in testing.) My son enjoyed it and I saw a huge change in his attitude and respect towards other. For that I am grateful!
A final note… My son lost all interest in TKD as a result of these changes and doesn’t even want to try another studio. He questions the true value of the belts earned if they just change them at will.

My husband and I put our Nephew KD into K Kim Tae Kwon Do so he could learn discipline and learn to focus. KD has been in Tae Kwon Do for two months and what a change we have seen in him. What I Love about K Kim The Master Marlon and the instructors are very patient and they take the time to make sure that all the kids understand what is going on in class. Thank You K. Kim for doing an Awesome Job!

My two young boys signed up, then my teen and then I decided to give it a try. I enjoy the head instructors and consider them friends. I love it that they have teen instructors teaching during the kids classes. It gives the kids interactions with good teen role models. Once a month they have a casual day when students can bring friends and workout with the class. It gives the kids and adults a chance to meet the staff and instructors.

My daughter is 6 and really loves it here. The instructors keep it fun and they teach discipline and family values. I’ve seen tremendous results and I am glad I came here. The master is very kind and really good with the kids. The other instructors are as well.

Took my son who is 4 here. The trial is a pretty good deal. $ 99 for nine weeks plus a free uniform. My son was pretty stoked about the uniform.
I haven’t been to any other martial arts studio so I have nothing to compare this too. I did feel that the kids have fun while there. We were watching the older kids for a bit during their sparring session and the instructors seemed more mean than instilling discipline. For the little ones they aren’t mean, but do take to name calling. The instructor kept asking my son «are you a baby?» I dunno how effective that is. Probs not very. Since my son was beginning there was a lot of downtime for him. First they do some warm ups and kicks and stuff, then they teach all the students certain moves. And since he was at the lowest belt he only had to learn a few and sat down and watched the other kids. The higher belted kids would continue to learn their other moves. So he sat for maybe 15 – 20 minutes at times. They are so little that they don’t get the moves exactly right, which is why I think its annoying that they move them on to the next belt anyways, it’s almost as if it doesn’t mean anything. And they don’t try to teach them the proper technique. Once the kid looks like he kind of gets it, then they move on. Even if he doesn’t get it if he’s just facing the right way they move on.
I do like Master Kim. He was really great with the kids. Apparently he hardly teaches the little ones though because he has another instructor teaching them. But when he did teach that one time, oh man all the kids were going nutz!
I would have kept my son in there but for his age group the classes are at 2pm. Um. hello? I work until 4:30 and I work an hour away. Sucks big time that kids of working parents pretty much miss out. I had him in there for a short time because my mom was able to take him. But now she is no longer able, and its super expensive to go there past the trial period. So I’m not going to take off of work for half a day two times a week to pay them a lot of money to have my son sit for almost ¹⁄₃ of the time. But if I were a stay at home mom, I totally would continue.
