We have REOPENED in-person classes with SAFETY protocols, and online classes are available. YB World instructors, leadership, and office team make all the difference. My son has gained confidence, respect for others. He is supported every step of the way by Mrs. Kim and her wonderful office managers, and by caring Master instructors who understand him, encourage him, and push him to be his best.
We love YB World! My children have been students for three years now and have thrived there! They have gained so much self confidence and maturity. The instructors are all multiple level black belts. Grandmaster Kim is an 8th Degree Black Belt! This school is the real deal! We love how invested YB World is in our children as a whole.

My son has been going to YB World for just about 3 years now and it’s been an amazing experience for him.
It’s built up his confidence and has driven him to pursue other interests and sports.
His ability to work with others has also developed and he is much more rounded young man.
He also loves Mrs. Kim and the way she is so kind and wonderful with everyone, a great role model.
Jack is now working on his second degree black belt and loves every minute of it.

This is the most amazing experience I have had. I would highly recommend this to the first person I lay my eyes on. The instructors, masters, are fun and respectful to all students. I myself learned a lot from them. They are literally the reason why i’m a black belt. In any of my belt test, you name it, I have never failed. This Tae Kwon do does not just help teach you defense, but helps teach you to increase your value of life. I would strongly recommend this place to all teens and adults as well. Not just for kids since I built my leadership skills and better my focus for my schoolwork. Thank

We saw a big change in our kid since we started going to YB world at hope street. Became more social, confident and an extrovert. The staff is amazing right from Mrs. Kim's friendly attention and consideration for every member and the professionalism and individual attention that Master Carlos and Master CJ gives to every kid. Small focused classes and individual roadmap for every kid is the reason you will see each kid growing at their pace in a very open friendly and collaborative environment. Strongly recommend it for every kid.

My family has enjoyed being part of the YBworld family. Our two kids started back in 2016 and in the beginning we thought joining would be like many other sports but it has been much more. The YBwold teachers and staff are of the best of the best in welcoming you into there family and at the same time providing a professional structure which has allowed our kids to grow and be more confident. One of the best things i can say is that my kids always want to go. My kids have met life long friends in this program and the kids are a great bunch. I could go on and on but i am going to stop now.

I am so thankful to be part of the YB World Martial Arts Taekwondo Academy on Hope Street. The instructors are second to none. They provide a nice balance of structure and care. As a student in the adult class, I truly appreciate the instruction at each of my early belts that I have been part of, truly looking forward to eventually reaching a Black Belt. My son started in the Family Class as a 2-year-old, now as a 3-year-old in Little Dragons and truly loves it. He (and his parents) feels that it is his second family. Mrs. Kim, who runs the Hope Street location welcome us with open arms. She is

I have two children that just passed their blackbelt test at the YB World Academy. We have lived in three different states, and transferred to four schools due to relocation - this is by far the absolute best decision we have made for both their martial arts training as well as their personal growth. Since enrolling, my children have started to excel in their school efforts (both now on high honor roll) as well as their dedication and commitment to all activities. To watch them grow as a direct reflection of their focus and training has been amazing. The Grand Master Kim , Mrs. Kim, and their team

Grand Master Kim and Mrs Kim have built a lovely community of learners (including the students' families). We have been to 4 dojos over the past 10 years, from Sydney to New York and now Stamford. We have visited countless others in the area. It is like choosing a college - there are many pieces of the puzzle that must come together for you to know you are in the right place - and YB on Hope Street had everything we were looking for. We have a black belt teen and a early belt grade schooler who are both very happy here. We look forward to many years with the Kim's and their awesome staff!

I wish I could give more than 5 stars. I have 2 kids in classes and both are now black belts. It has given both of them incredible confidence. My 12 year old is now teaching and a part of the leadership program and would come 7 days a week if he could. He is learning patience and how to be a role model. As a parent I highly recommend Taekwando. This is a safe and incredibly supportive environment for the kids where they are always encouraged by the masters and fellow students to try their best. Best activity I have gotten them involved in. I love my YB family!

This is a great place for kids interested in martial arts. The instructors Masters CJ and Carlos are patient with the kids and spends time emphasizing the importance of all aspects of martial arts including respect and teamwork. The instructions are good and the kids get an excellent workout. Mrs. Kim is a particularly warm individual who learns about the kids and their families, taking in their needs and desires. She will work with you to help design schedules that fix your needs. Master Kim is an eighth degree black belt, I believe, so you can eventually achieve a very high belt level. All in
