⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐- 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.
