Melanie Badesch 5th Grade Teacher TaeKwonDo is a great discipline for children. It encompasses athletics, academics, and behavior. They (the children) learn to use the tenets - courtesy, integrity, perseverance, indomitable spirit, and self-control.


Dirk Marshall Student, Smoky Hill High School I have been with J.W. Kim's Tae Kwon Do for over nine years, and I am currently a third degree black belt. My years in Tae Kwon Do have not only improved my coordination and athletic ability...
...but taught me patience and perseverance. It has also greatly helped me with my role as a leader, and I am now able to pass on the skills that I have acquired to new Tae Kwon Do students. I would highly recommend Master Kim's Tae Kwon Do school to students of all ages and abilities, as it is a great opportunity to learn martial arts in a fun and supportive environment.

Megan Woods 5th Grade Teacher I have been taking TaeKwonDo classes at J.W. Kim's school for a year and a half now and it has been one of the best decisions I have made. Not only do the physical accomplishments...
... build strength and confidence, but the TaeKwonDo tenets that we study (courtesy, integrity, perseverance, indomitable spirit, and self-control) start to become a way of life. As an elementary school teacher in the community, I also get to watch some of my students as they take TaeKwonDo classes and progress through their belts. What these students learn about respect, commitment, and focus transfer perfectly to the classroom. The entire community at J.W. Kim's is truly a community that respects and supports each other, and they make it a fun, energizing experience to come to week after week.

Nina Barber Middle School Foreign Language Teacher I can hardly remember a time in our life when we didn't hang out at JW Kim! My son, Joe, started studying Tae Kwon Do when he was 4 or 5 years old. He has studied with many beloved teachers...
...at JW Kim: Master Matt, Master Antonio, Master Kim, Master Shaw, Master Sue, and Master Mike... Each instructor with his or her own style, has impacted my son in a positive way. Besides these outstanding teachers, my son has been positively influenced by STORM members who have assisted these teachers over the years. These young men and women embody the philosophy and tenets of tae kwon do. They are such wonderful examples of success: involved in school, academics, various sports and activities. They respect themselves, their bodies, their communities and their dojang. You couldn't ask for a better role model for your child! While my son attended classes over the years, I spent many afternoons reading, knitting, and grading papers in the JW Kim lobby. One day, the idea came to me that kicking something might feel good at the end of a work day. One kick and one kiehap (yell) was all it took. I was hooked. Even though I am exhausted after teaching in DPS all day, coming to the adult class in the evenings helps me deal with the stress of teaching and parenting. I can't recommend the adult classes enough: a mental and a physical challenge, a great way to improve your strength and balance. I won't tell you it's easy. As a parent, there are many hours of training involved as your child progresses through the ranks, so you can anticipate many hours in the lobby reading, studying, knitting, and waiting. As an adult student of tae kwon do, the challenges are sometimes huge, but never impossible. My son and I have made life-long friends through our classes. We both like to help out at the dojang and work with the lower belts and practice with the senior belts. The dojang has become such a part of our routine and our lives, that I can't imagine NOT hanging out there!
