Welcome to Young S. Kim's Family Martial Arts Center. It is our pleasure to help you find the benefits of Martial Arts training in your life. Unlike the movie-based stereotype, Martial Arts does not revolve around fighting, but is a discipline and a way of life. It enables people of all ages to reach their full potential, both physically and mentaly. At our center, we teach two Korean styles of Martial Arts, Taekwondo and Hapkido, in an organized curriculum and with a caring, enthusiastic attitude. Our center is headed by Grandmaster Young S. Kim, a 9th degree black belt in Taekwondo and Hapkido with over 60 years of teaching experience. Classes are taught personally by Grandmaster Young S. Kim and a staff of trained instructors in a safe and fun environment. The lessons are designed to not only keep you fit, but also to emphasize discipline, respect, teamwork and attitude. Our teaching methods in self-defense are not geared for attack, but for the development of self-control and confidence to improve the "inner" self. We invite you to join us in the journey towards black belt excellence.

We are passionate about helping people find their full potential, including health, fitness, self-defense, happiness, peace, and/or whatever that may entail. We do that by using Martial Arts movements and techniques. Our upbringing, education, beliefs, and values have armed us to deal with everyday life but has done nothing to answer our most fundamental needs for physical, emotional, mental and spiritual health and growth. Through our guidance, we help people find their full potential so they can find in themselves everything that was, is, and will be needed in their lives. We have been blessed with endless abundance and expansion, but unfortunately, because of education and beliefs, we have built so many walls that prevent us from reaching our full potential. Through this journey, we guide our students so they learn finally how to be all they can be and how to live full, whole lives.

Training in the Martial Arts is a fun and effective way to stay fit and develop discipline, self-confidence and perseverance. Our professional instructors work with children and adults of all ages to teach fighting and self-defense techniques, and to develop character in the students. All classes are taught personally by Grandmaster Young S. Kim and a staff of qualified instructors in a safe and fun environment. Martial Arts are an excellent aerobic exercise and a great way to get fit. In addition, we teach the history, philosophy, traditions and values of the Martial Arts so students get the full flavor of what real Martial Arts are. In some cases, advanced students who are not black belts can begin assisting the head instructor and teaching beginner students. All our instructors can also communicate clearly and are comfortable and confident teaching large groups. We invite you to come and see our classes and join us in a journey that may change your life forever!
