What Is TaeKwonDo?

An ancient Korean art of self defense, TaeKwonDo is rooted in spiritual philosophy, meditation and self-discipline. It can be learned by anyone, regardless of age or sex. Reverence for life is as important as offense and defense. Our basic Charter of Responsibility charges all students to protect life, even that of an enemy, while developing reverence for nature, and an emphasis on beauty, speed and rightness of action.

Grand Master Kyu Boong Yim is a Ninth Degree Black Belt and a former President of the Texas TKD Association. Since 1974 Grand Master Yim has been educating students both young and old in the Korean art of TaeKwonDo. His students currently range in age from six to sixty-eight.

In the last two and a half decades over 25,000 men, women and children have attended the Institute, gaining insight, strength, discipline, and a sense of personal dignity from the study of TKD. More than 1200 students have graduated to the black belt level and beyond.

TaeKwonDo training can enhance all aspects of life through the development and improvement of both mental and physical abilities. Students benefit from:

A healthier cardiovascular system

Better weight control

Increased strength, flexibility, balance and coordination

Improved concentration and alertness

Stress reduction

Heightened sensitivity and aesthetic appreciation

Greater self-confidence, self-respect and self-discipline

The ability to defend oneself

The benefits of Grand Master Yim’s guidance cannot be over-emphasized. For adults it provides not only the physical conditioning essential to good health, but a heightened sense of self-discipline and self-esteem.

For the children who attend Yim’s Institute the benefits are incalculable. Master Yim and Mr. Lee teach their junior students that the proper study of the martial arts should extend into their daily lives. To that end "Yim’s TKD Kids" program provides positive incentives for children to take on simple and basic responsibilities with their families at home.

Additional incentives are given for hard study and good school grades. Grand Master Yim's junior students clearly enjoy the benefits of this program; they are the most cheerful, polite and self-disciplined young people one will ever meet. Stop by and watch a class!

Grand Master Yim has also left his impact on our North Texas community in other ways. For years he has led his Black Belt Demonstration Team in providing education and entertainment for groups at retirement homes, churches, and schools. And his Board Break-A-Thon (in which junior and adult students solicit donation pledges based on the number of boards they are able to break), has become a much-anticipated annual event, in the last two years raising over $18,000 for Children’s Medical Center of Dallas for cancer research.

Yim's Tae Kwon Do Institute is located in the Corners Shopping Center on the northeast corner of Walnut Hill and Central Expressway--right behind Dave and Buster's. For more information, please call 214-750-6903, or just stop by and observe a class!
