Success Martial Arts, a Kim's Tae Kwon Do School

We have been with Kim's Renton Highlands location for over 2 years now. We started with their introductory program at the YMCA. Our experience has been exceptional. They teach kids self control, respect, and inclusion. Everyone works together, no matter the skill level or size. We have truly enjoyed being a part of this community of people, and odds are, if your local, your kid goes to school with people they already know. They also hold several classes throughout the week, making it very flexible for other extracurricular activities for families.

Starting Taekwondo at this school has been one of the best experiences of my life. Not only is it a physical exercise but also a mental and spiritual journey. My balance, coordination, and strength have improved tremendously in just a few months. Ever since I began, my happiness levels have soared, and my daily stress has dropped immensely. The community here is so welcoming; everyone supports each other, and the instructors are incredibly kind and encouraging. If you’re looking for a place that helps you grow both inside and out, I promise this school will make a huge difference in your life. This poem captures what Taekwondo here has meant to me: Taekwondo is a powerful skill, An adrenaline rush, a lifelong thrill, Even though it will take sheer force of will, At 60, I might be practicing still. A dance of the body, spirit, and mind, An internal balance you’ll have to find, Sometimes I stumble and fall behind, I get up with a smile, still determined. As kicks and punches around me soar, I rotate, twirl, and slip on the floor, Stretch for the splits just a little more, Each small win brings a joy I can’t ignore.

I recently enrolled my child in a local Taekwondo school, and our experience has been outstanding. The school has a solid reputation, and it lives up to the expectations. First and foremost, the instructors are incredibly patient and competent. What impressed me the most is how they know every child by name. This personal touch creates a welcoming environment and makes each student feel valued and recognized. The curriculum goes beyond just teaching Taekwondo techniques. The instructors emphasize the importance of being a good, upstanding person and a contributing member of the community. This holistic approach to teaching martial arts is something I deeply appreciate, as it instills values that extend beyond the dojo. Overall, this Taekwondo school is fantastic. It's a place where children not only learn martial arts but also grow into respectful and responsible individuals. Highly recommended for any parent looking to provide their child with a well-rounded experience.

We love how many class times there are available for all skill levels and ages. The instructors are kind and helpful. The students and instructors are a supportive community that helps everyone be their best.

I take my son to train here. The place is excellent and GM Henkel is very welcoming. There is genuine care and discipline to help kids become better. I highly recommend Success Martial Arts.

I have trained here for 10 years and enjoy the family friendly environment. Master Henkel and his staff are the best instructors you will ever find. They maintain discipline while being patient and kind.

I love this place. Been going for years now and am close to my black belt. There is ample classes for adults, kids/JR, and mixed so you can go with your kids if you want. The masters and teachers are wonderful and you will become fast friends with them. I would recommend this place to anyone wishing to learn TKD or if you just want to be more active. Fair warning you will sweat it won't be easy. But it will be worth it and you will be proud you did it
