About

Tae Kwon Do
Our Style

Kim’s Tae Kwon Do Federation is supervised by Grandmaster Hong Sik Kim, who ensures that high standards are maintained by all students and instructors. Grandmaster Kim was born in Kim Chun City, Korea. He has directly guided and inspired over 30,000 students since he began his career over 30 years ago.

 

Kim’s Tae Kwon Do schools practice traditional martial arts in a non-contact environment to avoid discrimination against any men, women or children who wish to study.  Through non-contact training, students learn to control themselves both mentally and physically without fear of injury.  Finally, and most importantly, all Kim’s Tae Kwon Do schools are dedicated to Progress, Peace and Love.

 

Tae Kwon Do is a Korean martial art that uses bare feet and hands as weapons.  The literal translation is “the art of kicking and punching.”  Commonly called “Korean Karate,” Tae Kwon Do is similar to karate in many ways; all Tae Kwon Do students learn punches, blocks and self-defense techniques, but kicks are the Tae Kwon Do trademark. 

 

The five most important lessons to be learned in Tae Kwon Do are Courtesy, Integrity, Perseverance, Self-Control, and Indomitable Spirit.  If students practice these five tenets, they will become good role models and will always set an example for others to follow.  In addition, they will exemplify the true philosophy of Tae Kwon Do: to become an honorable human being with perfect character and physical condition.

 

Classes are held at Tony Williams Dance Center in Jamaica Plain.
