Testimonials from Our Parents for Children’s Class (Ages 6-12)
We joined Dr. Kim’s Taekwondo & Martial Arts family almost 7 years ago. Our daughter was 6 years old and ADHD. Over the years, Master Kim has helped to teach her control, self-discipline, respect, focus and confidence. Master Kim and his instructors have helped her to achieve 2nd degree black belt and is currently training her for 3rd Degree Black Belt. She is one of the Junior Instructors and enjoys assisting the lower belts to achieve the same goals she has. Master Kim affords every child the equal opportunity to achieve the maximum benefits he/she can possibly achieve. We have watched him train and support Down Syndrome children with exemplary success. During this trying time through the pandemic, we have watched Master Kim and his Instructors research and carry out the highest standards following all State and CDC Guidelines. We would highly recommend Master Kim’s World Taekwondo Academy for anyone who wants to enrich their lives and/or that of their children.

My daughter is Leah Greenlief, and our family moved to Lexington 4 years ago. She was very nervous about the move. She wanted to start Taekwondo classes. After our first visit to tour the facility she was ready to start classes that night. Dr. Kim was encouraging and a great motivator for her. She quickly began to make new friends and want to spend all of her time there. She began to compete in competitions in state and out of state. She has participated in the Summer program, after school program, and Demo team. She loves being there and the friends that she has made. I cannot thank Dr. Kim and staff for the environment that has been created for kids of all ages to truly learn valuable skills and lessons that they can not only use in Taekwondo, but in everyday life. I cannot praise everyone enough for not just providing classes for her to learn, but also providing a safe environment and a family feel to her experience. We are approaching our Black belt now and she is just getting started!!
Thank you for everything you do for the students and for families!!

I have really been impressed by Dr. Kim’s Taekwondo & Martial Arts. After 4 years studying under Dr. Kim, my daughter has grown not only as an athlete, but also as a better student and member of the community. Dr. Kim really seems to strive to make this the best Taekwondo academy in town, exploring not only Taekwondo, but South Korean culture and customs. Student instructors that team teach with Dr. Kim are top notch, also. The academy is clean and well taken care of. The cleaning standards have been impressive during Covid-19.

We are so delighted our son is under the instruction of Master Kim! His leadership in developing a spirit of discipline, self-control and desire for excellence is such a positive influence. All of this is done in a warm and friendly environment that is fostering respect for elders and peers. Thank you, Master Kim for his dedication to our kids!

Our son Dalton has been a student at Dr. Kim’s Taekwondo & Martial Arts for a little over two years. In that time, we have seen many positive changes take place with him. Dalton has many medical issues including congenital heart disease, growth hormone deficient that keeps him from growing, ADHD and anxiety. Due to his medical conditions and short stature, Dalton was picked on a lot and bullied so bad that he got to the point he didn’t want to leave the house. Dalton’s anxiety was through the roof and he was becoming depressed. He had even stopped socializing with his peers and friends. A friend recommended Dr. Kim’s Taekwondo & Martial Arts and said that it had done wonders for her son who went through similar situations.
Dalton took the free trial class and loved it. Before we left that evening, we had enrolled Dalton fulltime. Within a month of taking classes Dalton was already showing more confidence and was walking out of class holding his head high. He was talking about his accomplishments and had started talking to his friends again. Over the last two years Dalton has been enrolled fulltime in evening classes, he has participated in the summer camps and was also enrolled in the after-school program for two years. During this time Dalton has continued to grow in confidence, he had made new friends, he stands up for himself when picked on, his anxiety has decreased, his ADHD is more controlled and his grades in school have improved. His self-esteem is so much better that he participates in class and even does some demonstrations for his peers. His doctors and his teachers have all commented on the positive changes the see and say how much it has helped him.
Master Kim and his staff are exceptional at what they do. Master Kim has extensive knowledge that he passes on to his teachers and students. His teachers are former students who trained and learned from him and have earned 2nd and 3rd degree black belts. Many of his students go on to be black belts also. There have been a few times over the last two years where Dalton has gotten frustrated and wanted to quit but Master Kim and his teachers would work with him, encourage him and push him to keep trying and then praise him when he would succeed. The kids and families there are like a family, constantly encouraging each other and praising one another. There are many places in town to take Martial arts, and we tried a couple of them with our oldest son and none of them had the knowledge, skills, passion and compassion that Master Kim and his team has. The best thing we ever did was enroll our son here and we look forward to watching him grow and flourish under master Kim’s teachings. We highly recommend Dr. Kim’s Taekwondo & Martial Arts.
