KTC is an amazing taekwondo center! Master Kim and everyone that works there are super friendly. They are amazing with children and keep them engaged during class. They also establish a sense of belonging, discipline and respect among the students. It has been great for both my son(age 4) and daughter(age 6) to help build confidence and learn control of the body and mind. I definitely recommend this studio!

We absolutely love sending our children here! The staff is lovely, professional and does an excellent job keeping the kids engaged, encouraging them to try hard while keeping it fun. The pricing is reasonable and there are several schedule options for in-person or virtual. We had our daughter’s 4th birthday party here this January, and the staff made it SO EASY. Would highly recommend for lessons and/or a kids party!

What a fabulous experience!!! We celebrated our son's (7 yr old) birthday party at Kim's Taekwondo Center. Everyone (birthday boy, kids, we, my family, parents) had a great time.
Right from our first contact to set up a date, this place was extremely responsive and professional.
Mr and Mrs Kim are an amazing one-two punch (pun intended). Mr Kim was amazing with the kids in general and especially with Taekwondo. It wasn't just about punching or kicking but also about focus and respect towards country, parents, teachers and others. Everyone had so much fun.
Special thanks to Mrs. Kim. She is a

I can't say enough good things about Kim's Taekwondo. My 9yo started there nearly two years ago and watching her learn and grow has been amazing. Master Kim and Master Preston are awesome, kind and motivating but also firm. There is a true focus on perfection and a deep learning and love of TKD vs. just 'handing out belts'. I recommend Kim's to anyone who has a child (or for themselves!) interested in martial arts. Seriously, just the absolute best and family owned and run!!

Kim's Taekwondo Center is a fantastic family-run studio that is great for all ages and experience levels! Master Kim and Master Preston are extremely encouraging and kind. They're especially great with children and are also very adept at adjusting to different personalities. My son has been coming here for about a year and I've seen him grow so much in confidence, strength, and flexibility. I joined him when classes went online during the pandemic and we've had a blast learning and practicing together!

Not Just For Kids!
Both of my kids are students at Kim's Taekwondo Center. Both of them have thrived in class. Nothing is given, everything is earned.
I decided to join after watching the kids take class, and it's one of the best things I could have done for myself. Master Kim challenges me. He pushes me to my limits, then taps me forward just a little bit more. I'm stronger, healthier, faster, and lighter for it. There are all-adult classes, or I can take classes alongside my kids.
I have highly recommended this dojang to anyone who has an interest in Taekwondo in the past, and continue to

Master Kim is an amazing instructor!!! He goes over and beyond to encourage children to do their best as well as have fun learning and growing. He challenges his students mentally and physically, teaches valuable self-defense skills, and, instills a solid set of principles that provide a strong foundation. My son learned so much from him in a short amount a time. He is passionate about the sport and it shows! This is what makes this school stand out among the rest. I highly reccommend this family-owned business. You will not be disappointed!!!

Kim's Taekwondo Center is such an an amazing studio. Master Kim's personality is why more and more people kids and adult are coming to this studio. He is so engaging and kind to all his students. My two kids (age 3 and 5) is learning so much physically and mentally. The kids bring home such good attitudes and so excited to attend class!
I would highly suggest this school for giving children an outlet to burn off energy and to be all around just better human beings. I would give this school 10 stars if I could.

Awesome family owned and run Taekwondo studio. Master Kim is great with all ages and personalities. 2 of my kids tend to be on the shy/anxious side and Master Kim has done wonders with helping them open up and build confidence. We love that he teaches traditional Korean Taekwondo not only as a sport but also a philosophy. They teach and model discipline, self control, respect, perseverance, integrity. The wife and teenage son are also amazing, keeping the place running and helping teach classes. They treat everyone like family and are great with kids. 100% recommend!!!

I cannot say enough good things about Master Kim. He is such an incredible teacher -- firm yet loving, fun yet knowing his craft so well. Every single kid responds to him, from shy kids, to overly energetic… kids to kids on the spectrum. He is something super impressive, like an 8th degree black belt, a legit Korean master, this is definitely not one of the chain studios. You walk through the doors and are treated like family, you can tell that it is a family-run studio. All of the assistant teachers are great, from the visiting masters from Korea (many from the national team!) to Master
