welcome to jong kim martial arts!

 Grandmaster Jong Chan Kim is considered one of the original pioneers of Tae Kwon-Do.  

Thought of as the instructor of instructors, his students encompass the global community of Tae Kwon-Do.  

A few of his many notable achievements:

• First Chairman of the Technical Committee of the International Tae Kwon-Do Federation.
• In 1974,he had organized the world's first Tae Kwon-Do Championships held at the Montreal Forum.
• Elected as the Secretary General of the ITF.
• Ambassador of Tae Kwon-Do to many countries, including Malaysia, Singapore, Argentina, and Scotland.

 Though, Grandmaster Kim has since retired, many of his students have become instructors and continue to teach the art of Tae Kwon-Do known for its many physical and mental benefits.  Tae Kwon-Do was officially named by the founder General Choi Hong Hi in April of 1955.  In the decades to follow, Tae Kwon-Do has taken root in over 160 countries with millions of members. 

 Grandmaster Jong Chan Kim has extolled the benefits of Tae Kwon-Do throughout the years.  He strongly believes that the principal focus should not only be on self-defence, but rather towards the development of the character of the student as well.  Thus, society can benefit as a whole, one student at a time.
