The entire staff at MKT is excellent with the children (and adult students)!!! They have been so kind to the families as well. However, don't mistake kindness for weakness. The many instructors are multiple degree black belts. Respect is evident. Communication is fantastic. All of the events: movie nights, holiday parties, movie nights, belt testing etc. are run so smoothly. I'm so grateful we found this community. Surprisingly, I haven't thought of 1 aspect I don't like. Our child has grown so much since joining MKT. It's remarkable 🥋Posted on Lexie MerzTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Incredible program, instructors, facility, and community. My son has learned so many physical skills - technique, flexibility, strength, balance, as well as life skills - confidence, responsibility, focus, effort, self-discipline. My husband and I gain so much as well from watching and listening to our son’s practice. I really appreciate all of the 1:1 teaching and guidance the instructors provide to each student in the class. It is a life-changing experience for the whole family.Posted on Vi BertTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolutely amazing! Master Kim’s Taekwondo has been a total game-changer for my son X. He started as a shy kindergartener at just five years old, and now—years later—he’s testing for his deputy belt with unstoppable confidence and focus. This school doesn’t just teach kicks and forms—it shapes character. X has learned discipline, respect, and resilience, and it shows in everything he does, from schoolwork to how he carries himself. Every class feels like a celebration of growth, and he can’t wait to get on the mat each day. Master Kim and Master Bae pour their hearts into every student. You can feel their passion, their kindness, and their pride in watching the kids thrive. This place is truly one of the best things that’s ever happened to our family—thank you for inspiring excellence, on and off the matsPosted on Kenneth RoekTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Words cannot describe how great this class and staff are. Master Kim and Master Bae put their ENTIRE soul into this place. My son has thrived with their tutoring. They push your child to be their best self. Sometimes they provide tough love, and other times a big hug. You can tell that all these people want is for every child to be their very best. They make it fun and interesting, and every class is just a little bit different. With that said, they still focus on the fundamentals that students need to do well in Taekwondo. If you're debating between this school and ANY other in the Treasure Valley - go here. Worth every penny.Posted on Zaira FigueroaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Such a great place!Posted on Peder KopperudTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This place has been magical for our family. We first enrolled our son and his focus and mind body control improved. We decided to enroll our daughter and for good measure both me and my wife enrolled as well. It has been a wonderful experience so far. All the masters have been respectful, skilled, and patient. They will challenge you but it's done in a respectful manner; I have never seen anything but kindness and compassion from this team. The training has been top notch. We have seen health benefits in a short period of time. I highly recommend Master Kim's. Update: it should be mentioned that they engage in other ways. For instance they offer movie night, reading challenges, etc.Posted on Curtis CooperTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. MKTKD has been a great experience for me as an adult, and I recommend people give Tae Kwon Do a try at this school. It has helped me with fitness, coordination, and focus. And as a friendly community, which the school actively fosters, it has been a great opportunity to meet people with similar interests. My white belt phase has been challenging due to injuries and sporadic illnesses. The masters have always been supportive and understanding, including being able to change how I perform certain drills and movements to accommodate my physical limitations. When I was struggling with certain drills, I think due to an overall low athletic baseline, they were supportive and patient, and I have been able to make strides in overcoming learning barriers over time. I have also become more confident in my ability to improve and perform techniques correctly with precise instruction and repetition. Tae Kwon Do is not easy for anyone, although some students breeze through to yellow belt quickly. Some of those, however, hit plateaus later in the journey. The instruction at the school is excellent, and the masters (all certified by the Kukkiwon, which is the international standard for black belts) are accomplished martial artists. I think it's also a testament to the culture of this community that no one has ever asked me about my pace. Everyone is respectful and focused on their individual journeys, not competing with each other. If we move to another city, and I have to find a new dojang with a new master, I feel very confident about the foundation in TKD that I am developing here at Master Kim's Tae Kwon Do. Note: if you join the black belt program, which I recommend, you can attend as many classes as you want (for adults, there are six classes per week).
