North Burnaby Taekwondo Academy

Master Kim's an amazing, caring, and kind-hearted taekwondo instructor. I truly enjoyed coming to his classes and learned such valuable lessons from him.

Master Kim spent a lot of time and effort on each and every student to help them improve. I was so honoured having Master Kim help me achieve my black belt third dan on my last test.
I’ve been his student ever since I was a black strip and not even a black belt yet, but he helped me improve so much, and I don’t think I can achieve what I have without his help.

Even though I spent a short period of time with Master Kim, I learned that he can be very fun yet serious at the same time. Master Kim is exceptional at letting students have fun and teaches them how to master their skills. Master Kim is a very passionate person. He is one of my favourites ❤️

I’ve known Master Kim since I returned back in 2019 with my blue belt. I think upon first meeting me he had decided to push me beyond my limitations and go further in my training and I’ve got to say without him I wouldn’t have my Black Belt nor would I be an instructor currently. I learned a lot through him, he took the time to explain things to everyone and I must say one of the Best Masters out there.

My son Blaise has had the opportunity to have learned and trained under Master Mingon Kim since he was 5 years old. Master Kim has been a big part of the reason my son still loves Taekwondo today at 10 years of age. He has the ability to hold the students to the highest standards but still keeping it fun and engaging for them. I would highy recommend Master Kim to anyone who is choosing to follow their Taekwondo dreams. He has helped my son learn respect, helped him build his confidence and to persevere not just in Taekwondo but in all aspects in his life. Thank you Master Kim for all you do. You are definitely one of the best! Kam-sa-ham-ni-da
