Black Belt Program

Program Overview
This is where the curriculum stops being about learning the movements and starts being about mastering them.
Technical Refinement
Detailed correction of stance, timing, and power that only comes with advanced instruction

A Standard That Travels
Master Sungjin Kim holds an 8th Dan from Kukkiwon and is a certified national referee in both South Korea and the United States, so students are graded to the real standard, not a local one — and it holds up on any mat they step onto, from a local open to a world championship.
