Building Discipline and Confidence in Kids
Most of our students start between the ages of 4 and 8. Parents tell us the biggest change isn’t the kicks — it’s focus, respect, and confidence at home and at school.

I am SO glad our friends recommended this center to us. I highly recommend coming here as well! Reasonable prices for the classes and I was informed about them before signing anything. Master Kim is a great teacher, he is caring and patient with students and wants them to be their best selves! If he notices they need help with doing an exercise or form correctly, he will help! My daughter is loving it here and is learning SO much from Master Kim. We are learning discipline, strength, self defense, and confidence !! If I have any questions, Master Kim is happy to answer them all. My daughter hasn’t really done anything active in the past so I’m glad we came to this place and she is enjoying it. I see the progress week by week with her. She even practices at home !! The place has x spots on the floor so you stay 6ft away and same goes for students. Everyone wears masks, sanitizes when going in and temperature checks. In my opinion it is safe and clean!

Master Kim does a great job motivating young children. My daughter is six years old and she can’t wait to go to her sessions every week. He knows everyone’s name and is excellent with discipline and self-defense techniques. Awesome dojo!

The Black Belt Journey
Taekwondo is a long road. We’re proud of every student who walks it — some for over a decade, and some who now bring their own children to train.

My 2 sons attended Master Jung Hwan Kim’s class for almost a year. On the first day of class, my eldest son (8 yrs old at the time) cried and didn’t want to participate. Within a few weeks, he did a 180 and was excited for every class. My younger son (6 yrs old at the time) loved it from day 1. Both boys loved to volunteer to demonstrate moves in front of the class and looked forward to moving from one belt onto the next. They also made quick friends with others in class. We would have continued classes all the way to Black Belt if we didn’t have to move out of the city. Master Kim even went the extra step to help reach out to a Tae Kwon Do center in the city we were moving to in order to help the boys have a smooth transition. We will miss everyone at US Tae Kwon Do Center.
