KIMS USA Taekwondo
Our Journey
Founded in 1988, KIMS USA Taekwondo has proudly served the Lewisville community by providing high-quality martial arts instruction in a positive, welcoming, and family-oriented environment. Our programs are designed for children, teens, and adults of all ages and experience levels.
At KIMS USA, Taekwondo is about much more than learning kicks, forms, and self-defense. We are committed to developing the whole person by teaching discipline, respect, confidence, perseverance, leadership, and responsibility. Through structured training, encouragement, and personal attention, students learn how to overcome challenges, set meaningful goals, and become their very best—both inside and outside the dojang.
With decades of teaching experience, our instructors understand that every student learns differently. We strive to make each class fun, challenging, and rewarding while helping students improve their physical fitness, coordination, focus, and mental strength. Whether a student’s goal is to earn a black belt, compete in tournaments, become a leader, improve confidence, or simply enjoy a healthy activity, KIMS USA provides the support and guidance needed to succeed.
More than a martial arts school, KIMS USA Taekwondo is a community where students and families build lasting relationships, celebrate achievements, and grow together. Our mission is to develop strong martial artists, capable leaders, and individuals of outstanding character who positively influence their families, schools, and communities.
