Grandmaster In Mook Kim started teaching Taekwondo to soldiers
in the Korean and US Armies in 1957. In 1960 GM Kim left the Army and
started teaching private lessons to students who would go on to become
Grand National Champions. Then in 1968 GM Kim started teaching to all
who wanted to learn the Martial Art of Taekwondo, starting what would
become Kim's Academy of Taekwondo.
Why should this be important to you as a student, or perspective student:
Because there are many schools, that while they have good intentions,
do not have the training skills that have been honed over almost 50
years of experience. A martial art is not just learning how to perform
certain physical moves but also learning the philosophy that drove
people to develop those moves.
Kim's Academy of Taekwondo School
To celebrate the 35th anniversary of the opening of Kim's Academy in 2005
a new school was opened in San Antonio, Texas. This facility was constructed
with one goal in mind, build a school that would enhance our ability
to teach and our students to learn Taekwondo. The new facility
helps foster our students learning experience by providing:
Large Taekwondo Workout Floor
Nautilus Weight Room
Stretching equipment
Men's and Women's locker rooms with showers
Viewing area for parents or others to watch classes and special events
We would like for you to come visit us, if you are really adventurous take
a free beginners class (held Tuesdays and Thursdays, were workout clothes
you will be kicking and punching). We feel we provide the best facility
and environment in San Antonio for learning Taekwondo and we would
like the opportunity to prove it to you.
We are located at 4447 Thousand Oaks in San Antonio, Texas
