K-Zone Taekwondo

K-​Zone and Master Kim have been very good for our 14-​year-​old son. Master Kim (in his early 30’s, I’d suspect) is wonderful with kids through teens, teaching self-​respect, respect of others — especially parents — discipline, and confidence. Of course, the students proceed through the belts as merited. The essential aspect of this place is Master Kim’s rapport with children. They like him. They think he’s funny while respecting him and wanted to succeed. It’s fun, and it’s hard work, physically and mentally.
I’ve seen a few kids start out goofing on it and being physically weak as well as inattentive. In a short time, they become stronger, more courageous, and serious, following the rituals (like bowing and shouting «yes, sir!») with great earnestness. It’s a pleasure to see and a fine place. There are several adults and teens, too, and they work just as hard and are treated according to their maturity and skill, but one might expect that.
They have just started a kind of after-​school program where they pick up the child at an area school and bring them to the studio to do homework or do some training. That’s a very interesting idea, and I would trust them in that way but won’t use that service myself.

Learning Taekwondo at K-​Zone has been a rewarding experience for my son and daughter. They have received personalized instruction from Master Kim that is patient, nurturing, firm, and fun. The kids take pride in their art. When people see them perform, the gasp in awe because they look like they have been doing taekwondo for years, when it’s only been 9 months. I would highly recommend K-​Zone to anyone seeking quality instruction/​fitness for themselves or their kids
