Why J.W. Kim Taekwondo?

When new students come to our school, a common and understandable question they may have is “what makes you different from other Taekwondo schools?”  Below are a few qualities that we believe set us apart.

Attention
We have one of the best student to instructor ratios you’ll find anywhere.  Our Little Dragon classes often have a 3 to 1 ratio and our children’s classes are often 5 to 1 or better.  By creating these great ratios we are able to provide our students with the attention they deserve.

Attitude
We work very hard here to promote a positive attitude and atmosphere.  We constantly challenge our students in a supportive environment teaching students that with some perseverance and a positive attitude, you can always accomplish more than you believe.

Experience
We have been in business for nearly 16 years.  No martial arts school knows the Greenwood Village, Cherry Hills Village, Highlands Ranch, and Castle Pines areas better.  We work consistently with various schools, health clubs, and organizations and we routinely support schools and charitable efforts in our community.

Instructors
All of our head instructors are well qualified.  They are all at least 2nd degree black belts and have been students for a minimum of 5 years.  Most of our head instructors are now 3rd or 4th degree black belts.  They have also spent several years in our STORM Team program which teaches young students to become leaders and instructors inside and outside of the dojang.

Private Lessons
We offer private lessons with any of our master instructors.  Private lessons are a great way to get ahead for belt testing, get caught up after a long vacation, or just work to perfect your techniques.  In addition, we give every student under 13 the opportunity to have one free private lesson with a STORM team member each month.

More Than Just Taekwondo
In addition to teaching Taekwondo, we also offer a variety of other events to our students.  Some of the events we have coordinated in the past include the following:

• Birthday parties
• Parents’ Night Out
• Community safety seminars
• Intra-school tournaments
• Community service projects

Not Just a Black Belt, a J.W. Kim Black Belt
Our students are exposed to one of the most expansive and comprehensive curriculums that we have seen at any school.  In addition, we have life skills discussions with all of our children at the beginning of each class.  Through their training we teach our students to embody and live the Tenets of Taekwondo (Courtesy, Integrity, Perseverance, Indomitable Spirit, and Self-Control).  In addition, all of our black belts are required to complete community service projects.  Students who are able to become role models in their community exemplify our expectations of a J.W. Kim Black Belt.
