I am very proud and honored to have trained and recieved my black belt from one of the worlds best instructors! I started for the exercise and to learn a great way of self defense but what I learned was soo much more. Master Kim tought me that Tae Kwon Do is not just about learning moves, sparring, competing, and forms ect. but is a way of life!
