Frequently Asked Questions

What age should my child start martial arts?

We recommend starting at age 5 at earliest.  The reason is this is the year they enter kindergarten where children start developing structure into their lives.  Every child's unique character may allow them to start may vary.  Come try free trial class and Grandmaster Kim can quickly assess if your child is ready.  
​

Is Taekwondo & Martial Arts safe for children?

Yes!  I find it is much safer than playing soccer from my experience.  The bio mechanics of taekwondo ensure physical movement of martial arts techniques create proper kicking & punching actions.
​

Will martial arts make my child more aggressive?

No it won't!!  On the contrary, taekwondo creates confidence and peace within their frame of mind.  The reason for this is that taekwondo is one of the few martial arts where moral and ethical culture is built into the system.  As a result, our Jong Kim Martial Arts kids are one of the most mature, thoughtful, and diligent kids within the surrey & delta school system and excel in all areas!
​

Can shy & introverted children do martial arts & taekwondo?

Absolutely!  When I was in grade 1 I was extremely shy and tentative.  However, taekwondo brought forth confidence and self assurance!  As I saw my physical moves improve, my confidence grew.  My taekwondo classmates were very respectful & kind environment to provide a safe haven to bring out the best in myself!  Grandmaster Kim makes kids feel welcome as he is extremely genuine and caring taekwondo instructor.
​

What should my child wear on his/her first class?

Great question!  Please wear comfortable jogging pants (no shorts) and a t-shirt.  Also bring a water bottle in case they sweat!  We will make their transition seamless and welcoming!  Our taekwondo kids are the friendliest bunch around!  I promise you this!!

Master Kim is an amazing instructor and member of the Surrey community, not only does he teach important fundamentals in martial arts in Newton, he also provides excellent support and discipline as well as motivation which was immensely important through my over 10 years as a student. My mom had also been a student under Master Kim and before I had even been born she had already decided it would be in my best interest to train under him and she absolutely made the correct choice! If you are considering learning martial arts or are looking to further your development as a person I truly believe learning from Master Kim is the absolute best place to start. Some of my most important lessons of being a kind and respecting person are directly from the years of teaching Master Kim put forth, not to mention classes are extremely fun and engaging for all levels of ability! Do yourself a favor and take a class I can say from experience you will not regret it!
