Our partner clubs
We have two types of clubs: integrated clubs and partner clubs.
Integrated club (branch)
Instructors are trained by Master Kim, and membership and club management are fully centralised and handled by the Academy, offering unlimited access to all our clubs.
Partner club
An existing taekwondo club that affiliates with the Academy retains its administrative autonomy with its members, but benefits from continuous supervision and development under Master Kim.
Benefits and access:
- Kup exams in your club (grades defined together)
- Dan exams (Kukkiwon)
- Seminars in your club (2×/year)
- Club tour visits (2×/year)
- Licences / Insurance (Academy booklet)
- Free access to black belt training sessions in Uccle
- Support for any technical inquiries
- Sharing of Korean culture
Les cotisations des cours sont indépendantes de nos clubs integrés. Nous vous invitons dès lors à vous rendre sur le site web du club partenaire ou de prendre contact avec le responsable pour tous les renseignements liés à ce club.

Testimonials
A few words from the managers of our partner clubs:
Translated :
Club “Herstal Taekwondo Quintessence” (David Teti)
The relationship with Master Kim fully corresponds to my vision of what guidance from a Grand Master should be. He demonstrates kindness and genuinely cares about the monitoring and development of the practitioners in Herstal (including myself, even though I no longer dedicate myself fully to my own training).
Master Kim is completely devoted to the practice of the art and the spirit of Taekwondo, which he understands in depth. His passion can illuminate the path of practitioners who share the same values and vision of Taekwondo.
Technical quality is present in all aspects of his teaching (Poomsae, Kyorugi, weapons, etc.), and the philosophical contributions are rich. This alliance contributes to the complete development of practitioners (students and/or instructors).
Club “Team Mondora” (Luc Bola)
The Academy provides me with a valuable framework and support. Thanks to their solid experience and supervision, I continuously improve the quality of my work and refine my teaching.
Their availability and responsiveness allow me to receive quick answers to my questions.
Experts who enable me to grow with complete peace of mind.
Club “Wolf Academy” (Olivier Dewandre)
Just over a year ago, my taekwondo academy decided to form a partnership with Master Kim’s Academy.
Throughout 2024, we had the privilege of welcoming and meeting Master Kim, his sabeumnim and kyosanim on several occasions. They visited us both for club tours and for grading seminars. I also had the opportunity to participate as a jury member during black belt examinations and to attend a few Monday training sessions!!!
We were looking for teaching rooted in martial values and a return to traditional taekwondo in our dojang. We found much more: a return to the origins, with frequent explanations of the “how” and the “why”, and of course, a new family/community of practitioners and black belts.
At each meeting, we discover new exercises or techniques that help us, for example, to gain speed in sparring, improve our poomsae through specific hip work, and learn the foundations of Hapkido. Flexibility and muscle strengthening have also become daily challenges.
New aspects have also emerged, such as kichos, board breaking, and the creation of poomsae for Dan grade examinations.
Administrative management is also excellent: dobok orders, licence registration and renewal, kup certificates, and above all, the organisation of grading examinations!!!
