World Martial Arts

Few Masters are teaching authentic traditional Korean Taekwondo in Utah.

We proudly set high standards, teaching respect and real self-defense while supporting students’ mental and
physical growth. Our experienced Master and instructors, certified in behavior analysis (BACB), ensure a safe and supportive environment for everyone.

Why Choose Taekwondo?

Taekwondo focuses on stopping opponents before an attack, unlike wrestling or Jiu-Jitsu. It’s the essence of Korean
tradition and true self-defense. This is why Taekwondo is the only martial art that is a core Olympic sport.

Join us to train with experts and grow in a professional, welcoming space.

Testimonials

Master Dragon is highly trained, has a broad range of martial arts experience, and clearly enjoys teaching his students. He teaches that Taekwondo is more than just kicks and punches, but a whole, balanced approach. He teaches the science behind each movement and stance. He works to develop full body strength, agility, speed, flexibility, focus, power, and control. He has a vision of the good that the full, balanced approach to Taekwondo can bring in helping students to achieve and succeed in any skill they want to develop. He cares about each as an individual, is patient, and disciplined. I highly recommend World Martial Arts for all ages - from little dragons, to old grandmas like me.

Dear Professor Master Dragon (Yong J Kim) I am writing to express my heartfelt congratulations on the opening of your new martial arts school in Utah. I am truly proud and hold the deepest respect for Professor Master Kim. Having had the privilege of working with him for a few months in Virginia, I can genuinely say that I have never met anyone quite like him. Professor Master Kim is an extraordinary and kind-hearted individual. I strongly recommend Professor Master Kim as one of the most respected, educated, and qualified Masters within the World Taekwondo community. His new school is an invaluable opportunity for martial arts students in Utah to learn from one of the greatest Masters. His deep dedication, commitment, and contributions to Taekwon-Do have inspired thousands of new generations of practitioners worldwide. I believe that the World Martial Arts community will greatly benefit from the Taekwon-Do education provided by Professor Master Kim. Congratulations once again, and I wish you and your school immense success. With utmost respect and admiration, Master Krishna Balal Headmaster American Taekwon-Do Martial Arts Academy Virginia
