My daughter really loves going to class. She looks forward to it every week. Not only is she learning Tae Kwon Do, she is also learning great values and most importantly to be respectful. I’ve noticed she is more confident and happier.

I have been a member here for 5 years with my daughter and son. It has been a great experience as a parent to be able to journey with my kids from white belts to 1st degree black belts, on our way to become 2nd degree black belts. This school fosters community and respect for one another. The school goal is to teach the children how to become leaders. They were able to keep classes going during the pandemic which has been great for keeping us active.

My daughter's been going to W. Kim for the past six years and has thoroughly enjoyed going to a variety of classes. Not only has it been a great physical activity for her, but she has also opened up and grown out of her shell with the welcoming environment she was surrounded by. Extremely sweet and understanding staff, highly recommend.

My son has been attending W. Kim since he was 3 years old. They are the absolute best group of instructors who truly care about their students. He is 2 belts away from a black belt now and is so excited about all he has accomplished!

Simply amazing experience with W Kim TKD. Their superb staff is always courteous and highly experienced to teach all the way from beginners to advanced levels. My daughter and I, have both enjoyed learning here for the past 6 years. It's hard to believe how much we have progressed & still look forward to our weekly sessions, to continue developing further. It's a pleasure to learn from the instructors. The W Kim TKD programs are designed for everyone (at all age groups) and offers a safe, and inviting environment for enjoyment and learning.

W Kim TKD has been a great experience for our family of six. We have attended this school since September of 2010. As a leadership school, the Masters and instructors help the students apply the positive aspects of martial arts to their …

My son, daughter and I have been part of W Kim TKD for the past 5 years. It has been an amazing experience. Growing leaders, positive reinforcement, physically challenging, building discipline - these are some of the ways I would describe W Kim. But more importantly, it is a family atmosphere with great camaraderie among the students and instructors (especially some of us older ones!) - I can't say enough good things about our experiences with W Kim, it has and continues to be a great place for my kids (and me) to develop lifelong skills and memories. And selfishly, I can't think of many team/group activities these days where I get an opportunity to be an active participant with them - that has really been an added bonus.

My daughter started with W. Kim at the Palatine YMCA when she was very young because it was one of many awesome classes available for children at the time. Master James was the instructor and it was wonderful to watch him teach the little …
