Great from K-12 development

Kids may enter as little dragons where fun and excitement is encouraged. Skills may be developed during a progression of belts through junior black belts and belt progress maintained through adult classes. Annual competitions are multi-state and are fun as well as exciting. Dr. Kimm is the founder, recognized worldwide within the martial arts community for his skills, his collegiality and his writings. He personally oversees development of his students and instructors throughout the world.

I have had my son and daughter in his program for 10 years, both attaining junior black belts and both developing academically at the same time. Belt progression has been dependent on progress in school, recommendation by teachers, and excellence was recognized for both martial arts skill as well as academic excellence. I could not recommend a better experience where a child can develop the confidence or the commitments for adulthood that Kimm's Institute has provided for my kids and other kids we have encountered over the past many years. The Kimm family has a family's concerns for each student and an appreciation for accomplishments by its students, whatever the arena.

• Pros: Dr. Kimm is the founder and direction for Han Mu Do, travelling worldwide teaching
• Cons: conflicts with other recreational activities (soccer, football, basketball, baseball)
