Kim's Martial Arts focuses on teaching traditional Tae
Kwon Do, Karate Hapkido and Self Defense through a complete
mind and body exercise. Grandmaster Kim has taught
students from Franklin Lakes, Glen Rock, Ridgewood,
Wyckoff and the surrouding Bergen County area since
1979. By promoting a family atmosphere and focusing
on nutrition, healthy lifestyle habits and a
positive attitude, students grow physically, mentally and
spiritually.
We differ from most schools in that Grandmaster
Kim personally oversees all classes. He is one of the
few original Grandmasters that still teaches today.
Kim's Martial Arts is family run and operated and all of our
instructors and Masters have trained with Grandmaster Kim,
some as long as 32 years! Kim's Martial Arts has
only one location as Grandmaster Kim believes that
students maximize benefits when they learn directly from him
and his trained instructors.

We specialize in teaching traditional Tae Kwon Do
techniques. The curriculum includes an array of blocks,
punches, and kicks that will create a stronger and more
flexible practitioner. A Tae Kwon Do practitioner also enjoys
other benefits such as weight loss, stress reduction, and the
overall vitality that is a result of consistent exercise. All
these benefits are augmented by learning practical
self-defense skills that will give the practitioner confidence
in his or herself during any given
situation.

Our curriculum also includes self-defense concepts from
the Korean art known as Hap Ki Do. Through the many joint
locks, takedowns, escape, and pressure point techniques, we
offer a versatile system of personal protection. By
incorporating Tae Kwon Do and Hap Ki Do concepts, the
practitioner can learn various ranges of self-defense during a
challenging and rigorous session.

No martial arts curriculum could be complete without
meditation practice. Meditation allows the practitioner to
enter a calm, relaxed state prior to a class. After a rigorous
workout, meditation allows the practitioner a "cool down"
period before they return to the pressures of daily life.
Meditation integrates and promotes a mind-body connection that
affords the practitioner a clear and focused energy during
daily routines.

Through breaking practice, the practitioner can focus
their energies to constantly test themselves. Breaking wood or
stone requires the utmost concentration and power that
characterizes traditional martial arts. Breaking practice
allows the student to test his or her strength and
progress.
