The most highly certified instructor in French-speaking Belgium and recognized by the highest international authorities,
Master Kim is one of the pioneers and key promoters of Taekwondo in Belgium for over 40 years, continuously updating himself on global reforms and universal Taekwondo techniques.
"Quality is built through structured and guided practice."
A passion dedicated to teaching
We offer up to 5 days of taekwondo training per week.
Master Kim, 7th Dan, of Korean origin and born in Seoul, has been teaching with devotion for over 40 years. His teaching focuses mainly on martial Taekwondo, with strong emphasis on real-life self-defence, efficiency, self-confidence, respect, and discipline.
His educational approach helps each student develop not only their physical abilities but also their mental strength and personal confidence.
Master Kim personally teaches every day, alternating between clubs and schedules, together with his black belts, whom he has carefully trained.
A true pioneer of Taekwondo in Belgium, Master Kim has dedicated his entire career to promoting this martial art.
Each of his ranks was presented before a Korean jury, ensuring the authenticity and high standards of his journey.
Today, our Academy includes clubs in Uccle and Saint-Gilles, as well as several partner clubs that have joined the Academy: Herstal (Liège), Forest (Luc), Orp-Le-Grand, and Dubai.
Our values
Respect, discipline and rigor are the fundamental principles of our Academy.
We place the social and educational dimension at the heart of our mission, valuing the great multicultural diversity (origin, religion, social background) within our community.
This is one of our greatest strengths and enrichments, fostering human experiences, mutual respect, and social cohesion.
Master Kim
A former competitor on the Belgian national team and participant in the World Taekwondo Championships in Barcelona (1987), Master Kim began teaching at 16 years old, in seven clubs, including Knokke and Bruges.
He later completed his military service as a Taekwondo elite soldier, while continuing to compete.
Today, he continues to teach with the same passion and dedication, sharing his knowledge within the Academy and in several schools, as his main professional activity.
Our Academy counts several Belgian champions and over 50 black belts trained by Master Kim.
His vision is to open as many doors as possible for students to support their present or future goals:
competition, federal certifications (Adeps, referee and coach training), and encouraging them to attend seminars hosted by other clubs and federations.
He places great importance on continuous learning and the development of independent thinking.
