Team Forest Grove

One important aspect of tournament competition is team: teams consist of four members of any rank, usually the highest ranking students available. Team competition includes performing a synchronized hyung (form), board breaking, and a self-defense or fighting demonstration. As in the video below, one team member can be chosen to do the breaking portion:

Walk for MS

Martial artists are expected to be contributing members of society, caring for those who need help. We look for various ways to provide community service, and the MS Walk is one we have participated in for years. We have students, family, and friends who suffer from Multiple Sclerosis. The Walk for MS helps raise money for research to find ways to treat and eventually cure this disease. And it's fun! Kim's Taekwondo schools from all over joined together last year to walk, and we're doing so again this year. We really enjoyed it, enjoyed knowing that we were helping a good cause, and enjoyed spending time with friends.

Date: April 9, 2011

Time: 10 am

Place: Pioneer Courthouse Square, Portland OR.

Welcome!

Welcome to Kim's Taekwondo, Forest Grove branch. We teach traditional, light contact Taekwondo and practice it as a lifetime habit. Students benefit from:

• Increased strength, flexibility, balance.
• Improved aerobic endurance.
• Increased confidence and a much higher level of self-control in stressful situations.
• Improved ability to protect themselves.
• Increased ability to focus on tasks.

The martial arts are known for their mental and physical benefits, but did you know that those who participate in group exercise are much more likely to stick with an exercise program, and that students report feeling happier overall? The friendships we build keep us coming back.

Please explore this website in order to learn more. Find us in person at the following location (if we aren't close enough, ask about other branch schools in your area):
