Kim's Martial Arts & Fitness

Beyond expectations! Without question or hesitation, the best school around. The quality of instruction is only matched by the quality of character of the instructors and staff. Master Kim offers safe and detail oriented instruction. The staff and training partners are friendly and very helpful. The facility is extremely clean and spacious and the environment couldn’t be any more positive. I highly recommend this gym!

I genuinely cannot say enough good things about this place, so this is going to be a lengthy review.

I started about 7 months ago, so admittedly, I don't know a whole lot about Judo yet, but I do know a lot about what it means to be an effective teacher. I've spent years working part time as a tutor in a volunteer and paid professional capacity. In my current job, I frequently need to explain highly technical concepts to colleagues lacking a technical background. In my view, the traits that make for an effective teacher are:

- Knowledge and experience of the material being taught

- Patience

- Kindness

- Good communication abilities

When it comes to teaching Judo, I can safely say that Eugene and both his sons, Tyler and Tanner, have these qualities in spades. They are knowledgeable enough to teach the ins and outs of techniques, while also being experienced enough to identify and correct common issues with those techniques. They are incredibly patient and kind when a student is not understanding a basic concept (usually me), and will take the time to help that student figure things out. Lastly, they are excellent at communicating concepts with words and visually through demonstrations. It is usually pretty rare for me to come across one teacher at an organization that is excellent in all of these categories, let alone three.

As an added bonus, Eugene has fostered an atmosphere of collaborative teamwork in this club. Even excluding the teachers, everyone that comes here is generally very willing to help out their fellow trainees when they are struggling in some area. In particular, the more experienced members openly share their knowledge with the newer, less experienced members. This is a win win for everyone - the more experienced members get to reinforce their knowledge through teaching, and of course the less experienced members benefit greatly from the help.

There's not really any other way to say it - in my opinion, this seems like the perfect environment for learning a martial art, and I'm very glad that I ended up joining. I think you'd be hard-pressed to find a better club to join if you're interested in learning Judo

Master Kim is an amazing teacher and mentor who cares deeply about his students. I have trained with many amazing students and mentors here. I would not train anywhere else but here. Everybody here is kind, caring, and makes you feel welcome. I have learned not just martial arts but also humility and perseverance. An amazing place for anyone to learn martial arts with an awesome teacher who cares for you.

I trained at Kim's Martial Arts judo program for the best part of twenty years. Judo remains a foundation of my life. If you are looking to learn and study the sport of Judo, this is the school where you want to be. without a doubt!! You will learn Judo the correct way. Great way to stay fit and remain active. Prepare to make life long friendships at this school.

When my kids were very young, we took them to a big box martial arts academy. Once I knew my eldest really enjoyed TKD, I took him to Master Kim. I'd trained with him many years ago and I knew he combines a great mix of traditional and modern martial arts. He helped my son become a very good martial artist, but more importantly, he played no small part in helping him become a great man.
