Black Belt Taekwondo Academy

Formerly known as Yong Kim’s US Taekwondo Center, which opened in El Paso, TX in 2008, the dojo was renamed Black Belt Taekwondo Academy in 2011. The Academy is lead by the teachings of Grandmaster Yong Kim, 9th Degree Black Belt, and his son, Master Kevin Kim, 5th Degree Black Belt. Together, they bring more then 75 years of Taekwondo expertise and have come up with a wholesome Taekwondo Program that stands out amongst the rest.

The focus of our Academy is on Physical Fitness, Character Development, and Self Defense – rather than fighting, all classes are taught in a friendly, high-energy, safe environment. Our overarching goal is in building our student’s Self-Esteem.

The Staff are committed to helping students reach their Goal of Black Belt and develop the Black Belt traits (Respect, Focus, Perseverance, Self-Discipline, Confidence, Leadership, etc.) that will help them be Successful in whatever they do. Grandmaster Kim & Master Kevin focus on the whole individual when instructing and aim at bringing out the potential that everyone has both in and out of the dojo. Get ready to learn from the BEST!
