" I am thoroughly enjoying my Taekwondo journey to my black belt. I am happy to come to class because of the excellent instruction and caring atmosphere. I am gaining confidence, patience, wisdom and courage to become a more peaceful, open-hearted, respectful human being in my daily life. The dedicated teachers are kind, encouraging, humble, value-driven, and have a genuine special talent with people. They consistently inspire me to be the best I can be in all aspects of my life and to reach my maximum potential, both physically and mentally.
Personally, I am becoming a better teacher and student because of my Taekwondo experience. I am learning a brand new skill set, which is difficult for me. I am more empathetic and understanding of my own students as they learn new skills in my classroom. I am reminded daily of how challenging the learning process truly is. I am thankful and feel blessed to be part of well-respected Taekwondo family."

" I appreciate and value my experience training with Master Rim's TAEKWONDO in part not only because of the outstanding level of experience, skill, and accomplishment that the school offers its students, as well as the inviting, non-judgemental, and motivating environment they have created that serves to facilitate greater learning potential. One of the characteristics about Master Rim's TAEKWONDO that I find both personally and professionally invaluable is the wonderful and much needed bridge that they have created between different domains of a student's life, extending the practice of Taekwondo from the Dojang into the community, school/work life, home, and social domains. Encouraging students to integrate concepts such as daily affirmations, words of mind control, and mental education into his/her everyday life. Furthermore, I believe sternly in the Mind-Body relationship that is woven into the practise of Taekwondo as well through exercises and expectations that require students to attend not only to their physical skill development but also their mental sharpness and strength in character." - Tania Makarenko M.Sc., R.
