My kids have been taking classes with Kim's Academy through our community center for a year and a half. I love how kind and patient their instructor is (Alicia Looney you rock!) We have been to the main school for testing and to take the Saturday family class before the pandemic. Master Kim is AMAZING! You can tell he loves the kids. Overall this is a great school/community to be a part of.

I was super out of shape when I started, but this place is great for people of all levels. I'm thrilled with the progress I've made, which I attribute to the patience and encouragement of the amazing instructors. My son attends classes as well and we both love Grandmaster Kim and Mason!!
