I am a Han Mu Do student from Baton Rouge Louisiana. I was in Denver for a few days for work and reached out to GM Kim about training at this school. They welcomed me into their school, and treated me like family. I learned an incredible amount in only two days. This is a very good school, with extremely qualified teachers. Among the schools i have visited and trained at, Tiger Kim's stands out. Shin Sun!

Tiger Kim's is a stellar training facility. My daughter wanted to go by and just observe a class. She's 6. We got there and multiple kids of all ages gathered around her and said you should do it with us. We will help you get dressed and they did help. She had a most fabulous first class and is super excited everyday to go to the studio. She has different teachers everyday and the multi-generational classes are refreshing. The training and the discipline are exemplary.

My 8 year old is new to Tiger Kim's Academy and we are very happy with the communication, teachings and guidance. The staff is great too. My son is working on his yellow belt and is getting close. The teachers are patient and kind as well as giving the student time to understand the moves. Highly recommend Tiger Kim's!

My family attended classes here since before I was even born, I then trained here for many years. I now am the training manager for a local security company and apply the skills and discipline I learned from tiger Kim to train security guards to defend and protect themselves and others.
