From the reviews
We absolutely love Kim’s Taekwondo. My daughter attends their after-school program, and it has been such a positive experience for our family. Not only do they teach excellent taekwondo skills, but they truly focus on building discipline, respect, confidence, and strong values in the kids.
We highly recommend Kim's TKD - Master Kevin is absolutely wonderful with the students. The children have a lot of respect for him and vice versa. He is patient yet strict, and the children know exactly what is expected of them. They have fun while learning TKD and while learning respect and self control.
Kim’s Tae Kwon Do and Afterschool program provides excellent traditional instruction in Korean Martial arts as well as behavior and character development. They help to instill core values such as respect for others and self control. They provide a caring and safe environment.
My son loves to go to Tae Kwondo here. The teachers and employees are very nice. During the 2 years he did attend the after school program his Tae Kwondo skills improved tremendously.
New to taekwondo? Start at Kim’s Tae Kwon Do & After School program / Summer Camp
Kim’s Tae Kwon Do & After School program / Summer Camp comes up as a beginner-friendly school — noted on their own site. 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 Kim’s Tae Kwon Do & After School program / Summer Camp
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.
