At Kim’s Taekwondo, we teach the non-contact Chang-Hon system developed by General Choi, Hong Hi of South Korea. This globally recognized style is known for its precision in blocking, striking, evasion, escape, and control techniques—and for elevating kicking to a high art.

Our Training Philosophy
“Better to carry one sharp knife than a hundred dull ones.”

From day one, our focus is on building rock-solid fundamentals. Every class is designed to sharpen skills through consistent, systematic training—turning technique into practical ability.
