Dragon Kim's Karate USA

Twelve years ago I was searching for a karate school for my children to attend. I had visited several schools but after observing how Master David Kim interacted with his young students there was no question that Karate USA was the school for us. I enrolled my children and they are still students today. Over the past 12 years Master David has taught my kids discipline in so many areas of their lives but most importantly he has taught them about caring for their health. He not only teaches karate to his students but he teaches them about nutrition, motivation, and setting goals for themselves not just in class but in all areas of their lives. I was so impressed with the school that I became a student myself and after 11 years I am still attending classes at least 3 times a week. The classes vary each day and include mixed martial arts along with self defense drills and cardio classes. There is something for everyone at every skill level. Instructor Sir Viper gives a work out that is second to none. The work out-especially the Saturday class- is not for the faint of heart. Sir Viper always pushes us beyond what we believe our limits to be. He incorporates a variety of work out tools including weights, jump ropes, pull up bars and tension bands just to name a few. The classes are always interesting and keep us guessing as to what is coming next. I am now 50 years old and never imagined that I would be doing work outs like this at my age. The instructors offer encouragement and believe in us even if we do not believe in ourselves. The classes are truly challenging but you feel a great sense of accomplishment when you complete the class. I feel so fortunate to have found our school. It has become a big part of our lives and we are grateful to be a part of the Karate USA family.

Dragon Kim's Karate USA has helped me, so far, achieve some of the goals I aimed for ever since I joined. At first I believed that I couldn't do any of the stuff they could. But, the training as well as the people has brought my mind into a optimistic state.This Karate school is full of motivational people who are always looking forward to help in any way they can. They try to make the best for you. Dragon Kim's Karate USA gradually helped me develop the confidence in myself...the confidence which I didn't have the day I stepped in the school. I realized that I can do much more than I think I can. Master David and Sir Viper are amazing karate instructors. If you are searching for a beneficial workout, Dragon Kim's Karate USA is the place you are looking for!

I was hesitant at first to try out Dragon Kim's Karate USA. As i thought, "it wasn't the right type of class that i wanted to attend to", but man, was i wrong! It was the trial class that really got me hooked on working out here. I was once the type that played video games or sat on the couch all day if i had the chance to. But at the trial class, i couldn't even manage to do 30 push ups, it made me realize why i had to join. After a few classes i noticed how much more I'm able to accomplish as the class went by. Just as Master David once said, "It's not about how hard you hit, it's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. Perseverance is the key to winning." If you're still doubtful about joining, call up Dragon Kim's Karate USA and take a trial class. If you're not satisfied, the most you lost was 2 hours of your life and a couple of pounds.

P.S. I GUARANTEE, that you'll wake up the next morning with a body full of sores...(i love that feeling)

After suffering a severe ankle injury I never thought that I would be able to participate in rigorous sports again. Nevertheless, 1.5 years ago I decided to return to Dragon Kim's Karate USA. What a wise decision that was! Since that time I have not only regained much of the ankle flexibility I thought I lost but trimmed 30 lbs. of "Feel-Sorry-For-Myself" Wegman's chocolate chip cookies off my frame. Not only do I feel freakin' great but my friends admire the physical results. My response: Dragon Kim's Karate USA. Plain and simple.

Master David and Sir Viper provide world-class instruction. I relish how traditional Tae Kwon Do training is integrated with grappling, Muay Thai, weapons, core conditioning, weapon defense, cardio, outdoor runs, etc. This unpredictability and range of training modalities separates this school from many. Master David even provides excellent advice on the most important 70% of any training regimen: Diet. Lastly, my classmates are athletically diverse, supportive and grunt just like me when trying to complete that 180th push-up - hey, why suffer in isolation. :) I made the right choice. You can too...

Awesomeness: I first tried Dragon Kim's Karate USA to give my 8 year old son company. He loves his classes (which kid wouldn't love training to be a Ninja?!) and he worships the instructors, Master Kim and Sir Viper. I have always worked out hard, but the classes are still very challenging and extremely fun for me. I am now completely addicted and go to pretty much every class every week. It is simply awesome!!!
