The story of our school begins with Grandmaster Jae Hun Kim, who moved to Boston, Massachusetts in 1971.

He started teaching Taekwondo at area universities, where his classes quickly filled with eager students as people took notice of Mr Kim's unique teaching style.

They instantly recognized the value of Mr Kim's approach, which combines an analytical approach acquired through his academic studies at Western universities, with special expertise developed in the East by Taekwondo masters.

When Mr Kim's Taekwondo classes at the universities could no longer hold the burgeoning number of students coming to him from all over the Boston area, he knew it was time to open a Taekwondo school of his own, where his students could practice under his supervision day and night. Thus, the J H Kim Taekwondo Institute was established on July 15, 1974 on Brookline Avenue in Boston. The school has flourished at that location ever since, attracting Taekwondo students of all ages and backgrounds, from around the world.
