I am a student and an instrctor at this school. The demonstration was nothing short of spectacular. The friendship they brought with them was so incredible also. Even though we couldn't speak the same language, a high level of respect and friendship still existed. We communicated in the way we both relate, and that is Tae Kwon Do. They helped us with movements we needed help with. They are incredible people. I look forward to going to South Korea now next year to learn more and make more friends. What an incredible opportunity that was.

Our children go to Kim's Academy in Sandy and love it. They have an excellent program there.

What a great opportunity that was to have the best demonstration team in the world at Kim's Academy. Our kids had a blast and were stunned at the skill level shown. It was great for the kids to train with the Korean team as well. It really lit a fire under them to train harder. I hope they do it again soon.
