From the reviews
My 12yo daughter had transferred to Kim’s Martial Arts in Feb 2020, after moving from MD. She was apprehensive about starting at a new studio and we agreed she would try it for a year before we would allow her to give up.
Master Kim is always willing to offer helpful suggestions to make kids stronger in their taekwondo subset. He is a wonderful role model with a huge amount of patience! Thank you Master Kim for everything you do!
If you're looking for a true Kukkiwon Taekwondo school that offers top-notch training, look no further than Kim’s Martial Arts in Augusta! We travel for 3 hours just to come to this school! I cannot speak highly enough about my experience with this incredible establishment.
The School That Redefined Martial Arts Excellence If it were possible to give more than five stars, I would. Perfection may be unattainable, but a five star rating honors the pursuit of greatness. And it reflect a genuine commitment to excellence.
New to tai chi? Start at Kim's Martial Arts
Kim's Martial Arts comes up as a beginner-friendly studio, going by its listing and students' reviews. If you've never tried tai chi, that's exactly who a good beginners class is for. A few things worth knowing before your first session. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — the movements are slow and gentle, you set your own pace, and many can be done seated if standing is hard. Second, there's nothing to buy and nothing to keep up with — wear comfortable clothes and flat, flexible shoes, and simply follow along. Third, all ages and abilities really are welcome — ask whether there's a dedicated beginners or all-levels class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most studios are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first tai chi class at Kim's Martial Arts
Nervous about walking into a tai chi class for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good instructors expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a gentle warm-up, then learning a few slow movements of the form, step by step — no pressure to get it perfect, and you can rest or sit whenever you need to. What to wear: loose, comfortable clothing you can move in, and flat, flexible shoes (some studios practice in socks or bare feet). What to bring: water, and that's about it — there's no equipment to buy. Arrive a few minutes early to say hello to the instructor and mention it's your first class. It comes together faster than you'd think — most people feel far more at ease by their second or third visit.
