Main School Instructor: Master Aaron Kim - 7th DAN Black Belt

Providing world class Taekwondo instruction to Minnesota since 1971…

In 1971, Grand Master IL KEUN KIM founded Kim's Taekwondo Center to provide the Twin Cities with traditional Taekwondo training. Our instructors, led by Grandmaster Kim himself, are all highly qualified and experienced, having guided thousands of students on their Taekwondo journey.

At Kim's Taekwondo, we believe in promoting physical fitness, self-defense skills, and mental discipline through the practice of traditional Taekwondo. Our focus is on instilling the fundamental qualities of clear thinking, concentration, focus, obedience, humility, and community in our students.

We are committed to providing an environment where students of all ages can discover, develop, and use their personal strengths. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced martial artist, we would love to support you on your journey. Join us at Kim's Taekwondo Center and experience the benefits of traditional Taekwondo training with a community that is dedicated to your success.

What is Taekwondo?

Taekwondo is a Korean martial art and the national sport of South Korea. It is the world’s most popular martial art in terms of the number of practitioners. Its popularity has resulted in the varied development of martial art into several domains: as with many other arts, it combines combat techniques, self-defense, sport, exercise, meditation and philosophy. Taekwondo is also used by the South Korean military as part of its training.
