Meet the Grandmasters: A Legacy of Martial Arts Excellence
Grandmaster Jong Chan Kim: A Global Taekwondo Pioneer
|
Our founder, Grandmaster Jong Chan Kim, is a world-renowned pioneer who helped shape modern Taekwondo. He was a founding member and one of the first 9th Dan Black Belts in Taekwondo history. After his skills captured the attention of Taekwondo founder General Choi Hong Hi in 1955, Grandmaster Kim became a key member of the World Demonstration Team, traveling the globe to spread the art. His vast experience in Taekwondo, Karate, and Judo has made him a true martial arts icon.

Grandmaster Edward Kim: Carrying on the 70 year Family Tradition in Surrey
|
The legacy of Jong Kim Martial Arts continues with Grandmaster Edward Kim, a 9th Dan Black Belt and son of Grandmaster Jong Chan Kim. Raised in a disciplined martial arts environment, Edward opened his first academy at just 16. Today, he is a celebrated instructor who has mentored countless national and international champions. A recipient of the World Taekwondo Hall of Fame Instructor Excellence Award, he personally instructs beginner classes, ensuring every new student experiences the "Jong Kim Difference."
Master Edward’s mentorship extends far beyond the martial arts world. Many of his students have gone on to excel in fields like medicine, law, business, and military service. Through his guidance, students learn that character development is just as important as physical skill, making them not only better martial artists but better individuals. |

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐- google review
Master Kim is an amazing martial arts instructor and member of the Surrey community, not only does he teach important fundamentals in martial arts, 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!

Absolutely phenomenal place. My son went there for over 10+ years. I personally went there for over 4+ years. Master Eddie Kim is an awesome person!! My son went through a tough time in school getting bullied through elementary and most of high school. Master Kim taught my son how to respect and love himself and helped groom him into the confident, strong willed man he is now. I can never thank him enough for helping to shape him and teaching him the art of self discipline, self worth and the strength to succeed in his life. Not to mention he is a tough individual. I recommend anyone who want their children to learn all of the above, go and see him. Thank you again Master Eddie Kim for being a part of our life. You will always be considered part of our family as I know we will always be a part of the Kim family!! Greatest martial arts school in Surrey and Delta!

I have been practicing boxing with Master Kim for eight years, and I have learned a lot during these eight years. How to kick, how to fight. But the most important thing in my opinion is the life lesson of Master Kim, he taught me how to be a person and everything else. This surrey taekwondo gym is the best in B.C. If you want to practice boxing or exercise this gym is the best.
