We started our daughter at Tiger Kim's Academy nearly a year ago. She was very shy and had terrible separation anxiety. We asked her if she was interested in trying out a class and she said she was, however when we got there she refused to participate. After watching the class having a lot of fun she insisted that she wanted to return. We returned but she continued to refuse to participate - the staff was incredibly patient with her, I just decided to sign my daughter up and continue to encourage her to participate and with their incredible patience and continuous encouragement she finally relented. She is now nearing completion of her yellow belt at the age of 5, ,The instruction is great and there are helpers in the class that assist the instructor in helping those kiddos that may be struggling or that are new. It is also nice because the kids must practice at home so it pushes the parents to really take an active role in learning the moves and helping your kid see that they have to work hard beyond the time they are actually in the class. The environment is very structured and the focus is on helping kids learn to follow instruction, work towards a goal, and self control. They focus on different life values such as self control, respect, honestly, integrity, and honor. The instructor always asks the kids how their day is going and allows some time to just talk with them casually before class begins. We've had nothing but a great experience at Tiger Kim's Academy and just think every one here is fantastic. Thank you Grand Master, Master Kim for helping our little one gain a strong sense of self confidence!! read more

The neighborhood is horrible and it seems like the owners are gangsters because of how they do their sales. They pressure you into contracts that are impossible to break. Read the contract thoroughly because it has a lot of very sketchy parts. They make you think there are only 1 and 2 year contracts but when I filed a complaint with the BBB, they told the BBB that they DO have monthly contracts. They lie and cheat and never answer your calls when you have inquiries. I wanted to cancel my contract within the 3 day period but they avoided me very well. I was stuck with a two year contract for no reason whatsoever. Master Kim lies all the time and when you ask him something he makes you feel ignorant and talks to you like you are his servant. Everyone there is scared of him, specially the instructors!!! When I got hurt, the instructor begged me not to tell Master Kim. It is not a good environment and it is NOT worth your money. Also, look at the number of complaints at the BBB; there are 9 "closed" complaints. The only reason my complaint was classified as closed was because the BBB could no longer help me. The next step would've been to take them to court. I wish I had enough money to take them to court so they can pay for all the anguish they put me through. read more

I've been thoroughly impressed with this Tiger Kim's Academy, over the years. Celebrating 49 years of excellence, it truly embodies tradition, discipline, and community. The instructors are highly skilled, dedicated, and genuinely care about each student's growth, both physically and mentally. One of the things I admire most is how the school encourages students to challenge themselves through testing, and it's inspiring to see many achieve new belts and milestones. The environment is supportive yet disciplined, fostering confidence and resilience in all ages. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced martial artist, this school offers top-notch training that promotes personal development, respect, and lifelong skills. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to learn martial arts in a positive and encouraging setting! read more

Tiger Kim has a large training facility. There is two dojons. For being a long time member at this gym I have to mention something no one has said about this place before and that is testing. When you test at the gym it becomes an event/small party. It's a pot luck and I think it's great that every one gets to interact. I really enjoy the environment and the fact that there is no conflict. All the students seem to respect each other as well as the staff. It's a nice place to train. If you have a question on a form or how to do a move you just have to ask one of the instructors before or after class and they will help you. They also offer private classes. I have yet to have one because I don't feel the need since I learn everything in class but it's a nice option if you need extra help that takes more than 10 minutes. read more

I saw Tiger Kim's Taekwondo demonstration at the Dragonboat festival at Sloane's Lake last year and had to give it a try. The demo was amazing. They were breaking bricks and boards, performing flying kicks, and using weapons! Master Kim is very helpful and welcoming and he takes the time to make you feel comfortable before your first class. My nerves went away once I suited up and I plan on extending my trial into a regular membership. I love the community feel of the studio, you really feel like you're part of a close-knit group. I hope to continue my training until I reach a black belt and beyond! Also, the location and class times make it very accessible. read more

We LOVE Tiger Kim`s. My children have been practicing here for over 1 year now and I continue to be amazed at what they learn. The integrity and skill of the teachers is evident when the Tiger Kim`s team routinely wins tournaments with clean patterns and quick feet. My kids have gained a huge sense of self esteem and inner strength by practicing at Tiger Kim`s, not only because they learn how to use their bodies, but because they learn how good it feels to work hard. They have a really fun time at practice and feel a sense of community from this academy. If you are looking for a fun place for your kids to learn Taekwondo, this is it! read more

My son has been coming here for 2 years now. Master Kim is really good. He knows when to push the kids harder and also when to take it easier on them. He encourages the kids to respect their parents and to be good in school. He has a great balance in knowing when to be strict and when to have patience. He has classes with small kids all the way to adults. My husband is a black belt in karate but had not been active in over 15 years. After seeing our son in taekwondo he decided to join him. Also ladies we have had moms join as well because of the workout you get in the class, I'm taking the Women's self defense class ones a month read more

After the 2 Weeks unlimited classes, I asked my nearly 8 year old nephew to commit for just 3 months at two lessons per week and then decide whether he'd like to continue. I couldn't be more pleased with the instruction, values, and attention he's received so far. Master Kim has a fun, patient, and consistent teaching style. They also plan events to build friendships and community like their "Kick-a- thon, H-Party, and the most recent Ranking Test which included a bbq, volleyball and other fun activities for the kids (piñata). I see his strength building and his confidence growing. Thank you Tiger Kim's Academy! read more

My grandson comes here. He loves it. I noticed that his confidence has gone up and my daughter has told me that he listens more. He also plays piano and when I took him to his lesson his instructor said he has a lot of discipline. My grandson (age 6) constantly talks about his instructors and how they're always teaching him new forms. It brings joy to see how much he has grown since he started. I myself grew up doing martial arts and I am happy that my daughter put my grandson in this academy. At times parking can be a problem but other than that this place is great. read more

We were looking for something for my son to get into this summer. His cousins participate in Taekwondo, so he wanted to give it a try as well. He really enjoys it. The instructors are really great. The mixed classes are awesome, too. There are people of all ages and all belt colors in class. So, not only is he learning from the instructors, he's also learning by watching the other students. The lessons he is learning about hard work and dedication are really important to us, too. I highly recommend this place. read more

I usually don't bother to go to yelp or any where really to rate a place. However, I love to train here so much that I will give the yelp world my two cents. This place is great. It has everything I need to succeed. The best part is the time the classes are at. You're not stuck to always show up to a certain time class. I like that because at times due to traffic I wont always make it on time and I hate to miss my warm up. I know I can always get the class after. read more

I am a Han Mu Do student from Baton Rouge Louisiana. I was in Denver for a few days for work and reached out to GM Kim about training at this school. They welcomed me into their school, and treated me like family. I learned an incredible amount in only two days. This is a very good school, with extremely qualified teachers. Among the schools i have visited and trained at, Tiger Kim's stands out. Shin Sun! read more
