WHO ARE WE?
Grand Master Kim’s Taekwondo
is a group founded in 1988 by an incredible martial arts grandmaster, named Nam Souk Kim. Over the years he inspired the growth of an old fashioned notion, that exercise and diet are the keys to health and happiness. We are successful entrepreneurs, world-class athletes, computer programmers, HVAC experts, square dancers, mothers and fathers, students and teachers, leaders in our communities.
We are fit. We are family.
