John Kim

7th Degree Black Belt

Master John Kim began his Taekwondo training in 1973 at the Fort Bragg Army Base in North Carolina. He earned his Black belt in 1982 and has been teaching Taekwondo since 1983. He earned his undergraduate degree from Auburn University in Montgomery, Alabama in 1992. That same year he moved to Daphne, Alabama to pursue his Master’s degree in Sports Management from the U.S. Sports Academy and to establish the first location of United States Taekwondo. Master Kim works daily to research, monitor, and improve instructor curriculum and classroom design so that all United States Taekwondo locations deliver the finest quality instruction available anywhere. He has made this a personal quest in order to improve the martial arts in general but more importantly to develop the next generation of martial artist to reach for higher levels both physically and mentally.

Personal Fact: Master Kim enjoys traditional weapons training and regularly conducts seminars and courses as well as actively competing even to this day!
