    Shim's TKD is not just a place for exercise, training and discipline.....it's a 2nd home…read more I have been going there for years, since the old location. The Master's are perfect at what they do. They truly care about you and they have become family. They are so good with kids it makes your heart melt. They have great equipment to get the job done and you will never leave a class feeling unsatisfied. Trust me, you can barely walk sometimes! You will be wobbling the next day! If you are looking for a great dojo, for all ages.... Even if you don't live in the area - it is well worth it. You won't be disappointed!

    If you want to join this Martial Arts class, you will notice Master Shim will force you to pay for…read moreatleast 3 months. There is no monthly option. Actually he will convince you to pay for a year. And there is a SOLID reason behind it! UNLESS you have a super athletic body and have been doing gymnastics for years, YOU WILL INCUR AN INJURY IN THIS CLASS!! And then Master Shim WILL NOT REFUND YOUR MONEY but will try to CONVINCE you to continue the class even after incurring an injury. I incurred a leg injury while doing this class since there is no prep. training and you will be thrown into class which can be mild or severe depending on the "mood" of the trainer, who is the son of Master Shim. My knee injury was so severe in Shim's class, I had to be treated by Bone & Knee institute and furthermore had to consult with a medical doctor who put me into a rehab and strictly prohibited me to continue Shim's training. I was affected for a whole month with my work and travel plans adversely affected. So I approached Master Shim with a doctor note and showed my injury and asked politely for a partial refund, ONLY for unused time since he received 3months advance ( remember Master Shim always charges you for 3 months and even try to convince you for 1 yr advance payment). First he gave me a lot of BS, saying that I should be a "man" and continue this class even I was in Rehab for a month. I left that day but approached him a few days later and told him that I will never be able to continue this class, so please refund my unused time only (which was 2/3rd). Master Shim told me to come after a month since he was "tight" on money to provide me any refund. So I waited one month and went back to him again. Master Shim started to act upset with me and said that he talked to his son, who is the actual owner of this Martial Arts operation (Which is a lie, Master Shim is the real owner), and that his son has advised Master Shim to only refund me $100 (instead of $350). I was quite shocked but knowing that something is better than nothing at that point, asked him to refund only $100. He again asked me to come back again (4th time) and made an appointment with me at 5pm the next day. When I went at 5pm the next day, he was nowhere to be found. I left disappointed but came back around 6:30pm (5th time) and he was still nowhere to be found. I asked his son where he was, and Master Shim was apparently hiding in the backroom instead of in his front office, as he always is. By this time I was convinced that Master Shim is a CROOK. But I waited patiently outside his office as he said he will write me a check. After a couple of minutes, he brought out an empty checkbook showing me he ran out of checks and that I should come again tomorrow. I have had enough with this sleazeball named Master SHIM by this time. I simply told him firmly that I will contact an attorney and take him to court for running an operation which causes injuries to people. I also informed him that I will contact Attorney General's office and Better Business Bureau about his dishonest business practices. But that time his son came outside and was witnessing the conversation who inculcated some sense to his dad to just refund the money instead of jerking a customer around. Master Shim still refused to provide a refund, which he had promised!! At that point his son pulled out his cell phone and offered me a refund of only $100, when they actually owed me around $350. The moral of the story here is that Master Shim runs a business which is causing major injuries to people and there is a reason why they ask for 3 months or years worth of advance upfront. Unless you are an athlete or a gymnastics person or know Martial arts already, you WILL INCUR AN INJURY HERE. And guess What? You will receive a goodbye from this operation if you ask for any refund. Actually they will encourage to bring your injured self back again, and continue to get injured because there is no money back. JOIN THIS SHIM'S TRAINING AT YOUR OWN RISK!!

The many varied activities thorough workouts aimed at building strength and effective techniques of self defense teach both physical and mental discipline. Every class involves interactive discussion of specific aspects of real life scenarios with examples of how best to handle these situations successfully--at home, at school, etc. Taekwondo is so much more than martial arts. Teaching always involves demonstration of movements, not verbal description only. The ongoing praise of individuals (amazingly known by their names) and of the entire group and also correction of any moves done incorrectly. This program focuses on building success, strong self esteem and physical growth. It's amazing! Come and observe it for yourself. My 11year old grandson loves this program!

He is both supportive and challenging, a great teacher. The fees are very reasonable for the amount of instruction time he offers - he wants to see as much of his students as they can commit, it's a flat monthly fee. It seems like his students have lots of opportunities to attend competitions if they choose.

However the school is very welcoming and Master Kim works with students of all ages to help us reach our goals. I now have my black belt. During my time here I have improved my fitness, flexibility and focus. There are other schools in the area but they really can't compare in quality to Summit. Master Kim makes sure all his students can perform techniques properly before passing us on to the next belt. This is run like a school not a business that just lets you pay for your belt. You earn it here. The classes are reasonably priced and always instructed by the Master himself. I would recommend this school to students of all ages, kids and adults, who want to learn from the best in a high quality setting. Also, the facility is newly remodeled, large space with plenty of seats and a viewing area for parents to observe their kids in class.

    I wrote my last review of W Kim Taekwondo in September 2023. I had stopped going to their classes…read moreseveral years before due to a job relocation and some injuries (unrelated to taekwondo). Shortly after I wrote that review, I started to go to their classes again. The school has grown tremendously over the years. I have to believe their growth is due to the quality of the instruction and the strong family feel when you are a part of their community. At 65 years old, taekwondo doesn't come as easily as it used to. But, the instructors are patient, they understand your limitations and work with you on a more customized training plan. I really appreciate that. I've been back as a student for a year and a few months. It feels great to be back. The growth they have seen has led them to open other locations - again, this is due to the caliber of their staff and how welcome they make you feel. I feel myself improving every time I go - several times a week. The patience of the instructors has made it a pleasure to relearn what I'd forgotten over the years. I wrote in my last review that they added a low intensity class. I still attend that but, with practice, I'm going to higher intensity classes again. I highly recommend W Kim Taekwondo for anyone who is interested in learning the sport, both adults and children.

    Highly recommend. My son never wants to miss single class. Available for rescheduling class if you…read moremiss one.
