From the reviews
Grandmaster B.M. Kim's Tae Kwon Do extends from a martial-arts school into a place for students of all ages to learn, grow, and feel confident physically and mentally. No matter how hard the training is, I always feel happy when I am walking out. But much more than that, I feel supported.
I have been training with Grand Master Byung Min Kim for over 35 years. He is hands down the BEST Taekwondo Grand Master in the world. Why? because he LOVES his students and is passionate about teaching TAE KWON DO. Also, because he is always striving to improve personally, spirtiually, physically, and mentally.
Grandmaster B. M. Kim's Tae Kwon Do is a martial arts school that is truly devoted to teaching traditional Tae Kwon Do. My children love attending class. They are learning not only how to defend themselves against bullying, but how to stop bullying in the first place.
Grand Master Kim is a very honest hard working man. His mission for everyone to improve themselves is awesome. Best place to be.
New to taekwondo? Start at Grand Master B.M. Kim's Tae Kwon Do
Grand Master B.M. Kim's Tae Kwon Do comes up as a beginner-friendly school, going by their listing and students’ reviews. If you've never trained or set foot in a dojang, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and instructors scale the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable schools build fundamentals (stances, blocks, kicks, and basic forms) for weeks, sparring eases in gradually and with gear on, and instructors keep it controlled and safe. Third, all ages and all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most schools are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first taekwondo class at Grand Master B.M. Kim's Tae Kwon Do
Nervous about walking into a taekwondo school for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good instructors expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic stances, blocks, and kicks with a partner or on pads — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: loose athletic wear you can move in (or a dobok if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the floor. What to bring: water and a positive attitude — many schools lend a loaner dobok for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll get your own dobok and belt, and sparring gear (mouthguard, headgear, and guards) once you begin sparring. Sparring eases in gradually, once your fundamentals and forms are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the instructor. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
