From the reviews
Traditional taekwondo and hapkido instruction by a 9th Dan Grandmaster from Korea, Master Kim. A wonderful training and cultural experience for young and old alike. Highly recommend.
Great martial arts classes in Taekwondo ,Hapkido ,weapons . Taught by Grandmaster Kim.
My daughter has been a student of Master Kim's for over a year and half now. We make it a point to drive 40 minutes to see him multiple times a week because what he offers at his school is NOT found anywhere else. First off his expertise is unmatchable.
Your first taekwondo class at Kim's Martial Arts (UMI)
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.
