Master Soyoung Kim
Head Instructor
Head Instructor of JK Taekwondo in Hicksville, New York.
Welcome to JK Taekwondo. Our philosophy is simple: Building Strong People Through Taekwondo. At JK Taekwondo, students are grouped by belt level rather than by age, so everyone trains alongside classmates at the same stage of their journey. That structure lets us teach each technique properly, at the right pace, and hold every student to the same standard as they progress toward black belt. We believe a strong school serves every kind of student. Our general classes build the discipline, focus, and confidence that carry over into school, work, and family life, while our Poomsae and Sparring teams give committed athletes a path to compete at local, regional, and national tournaments. Both matter, and both get our full attention. Beyond the mat, our Leadership Class, Summer Camp, and Birthday Party programs keep our students connected to the school and to each other throughout the year.
We look forward to welcoming you and your family to our dojang. Master Soyoung Kim JK Taekwondo
