One of the best Taekwondo schools I have practiced at. Have been practicing TKD for about 15+ years and have seen a wide range of schools and teachers in various cities, and this is one of the best. Master K Kim is a very good teacher. He is very patient with his students and makes sure that students learn and progress at the right pace. He pays close attention to each and every student, and knows the developmental needs for each. When we moved to Cincinnati I specially sought out Master Kim so that I could enroll my 5yr old even though it meant driving 30 mins to get to class. He is that good! My son has been learning from him for the past 3yrs and loves it! I highly recommend this school and Master Kim. read more

Master K Kim's has been amazing for our 5/6 year old. He looks forward to it daily. It has helped him focus and show good discipline. He started in little tigers and now he is in the normal classes. They have plenty of class times throughout the week and we are able to take him up to 3 times a week. Master Kim is also always very helpful. read more

This place is just AMAZING! All the staffs are nice and friendly, and the place is sanitary and large. Master K. Kim is very energetic, friendly, and motivates the students to try their best and eager to teach students. He individually goes to them and tries to teach them step by step. By doing taekwondo you can also learn Korean culture& language and the life skills: focus, confidence, respect, consistency, goal-setting, leadership etc. It is a great place for kids to learn and have a self-defense skills. Also the class schedule is very flexible which you would mostly be able to come and join the class. There is a place for parents to sit and watch your child so it is really opened teaching class. I would definitely recommend this place to people who would like to increase confidence, better fitness, improve behavior, fun activity, and learn self defense. read more

Both my son and daughter have been at Master K. Kim's for nearly 3 years now and we have been very happy with the instruction they have received. Master Kim has been always provided great feedback as our kids have progressed in their skills. Even through any adversity that my kids have faced outside of Tae Kwon Do, Master Kim has always been understanding, accommodating, and encouraging. If you are looking into school with world class instruction look no further than Master K Kim and his skilled instructors. I would highly recommend Master K. Kim's World Class Tae Kwon Do school to anyone in the Cincinnati area. read more

Master KKim was the head instructor at my dojang in High Point NC, until he left to open his own school. I was looking for a traditional Korean TKD school, and when I saw how awesome he is working with kids - I signed my son up right away. We both will test for 2nd Dan soon, and I cherish the time spent with Master KKim. I have been around the world, and I feel he is the BEST teacher I've ever encountered. Brent A. read more

My daughter and I have been at Master KKim's tae KwonDo now for 5 months and I must say that it is fantastic. His class is indescribable. The respect and attention that he commands from a group of 6-10 year old kids is beyond what I could have thought possible. Each class, the children learn about self confidence, respect, and perseverance while getting great exercise and loving it. They have unbelievable facilities and fantastic Korean Master. Master KKim is a great leader and truly has been successful in fulfilling the vision of a top notch martial arts school in a great family friendly environment. Also, he has extensive experiences with coaching the Federation tae kwon do competitive team internationally for many years. I would strongly recommend Master KKim's Tae Kwon Do to anyone who wants to challenge themselves to reach their full potential mentally and physically as an individual or bring the whole family and enjoy the bond that learning martial arts together can create. The master care about all his students with love and respect. It is also good to learn Koren culture that is very different from American culture!! The core of Korean culture is based on family, respect, and responsibility. It's a wonderful place for a child to grow in every way learning how to respect parents and be responsibility in every way!!! read more

The master of this gym offered me a trial class to see how i liked it. He behaved very politely with me and gave me lots of positive feedback in my ability. It seemed as though this would be a good class to take, because I feel very bad when a person of authority like a teacher behaves rudely with me, and I take things personally, i am very sensitive. The other students there were extremely nice and supportive and I had fun training with them. In adult classes the age ranges from 12-40 years old so there is usually someone there your age. The workout is also very good. Though a few months in i found i was having a lot of health problems which was preventing me from doing well in class. The master seemed to view this as an excuse not to do well and whenever i explained to him what was wrong he cut me off and told me he would talk to me later. I was also sick one day and could not be there for the exams and he still charged us money ($40 dollars or so) for not being there. Although we argued with him he remained stubborn about us paying the fine. I believe this was extremely insensitive. He is nice with children though as long as they do good and especially nice to newcomers (though possibly an act to coax them into signing a contract with him). Know also that although the master may be nice to children he can be very harsh when they fail to not do as he says. Though some may view this harshness as something that builds up discipline in the student, it can be tough to handle for sensitive people like me. So be fully aware of how you can handle stress and criticism before you sign up. This master is very big on discipline and hard work and is not very flexible on it. If you can handle stress though, you have a lot to gain from his class and you will become stronger mentally and physically. read more
