Our Story

The spark that ignited SC Kim's Taekwondo can be traced back to my own childhood in Korea, where the art of Taekwondo was more than just a sport; it was a way of life. From an early age, I was captivated by the combination of discipline and resilience that martial arts demanded. As I grew older, the calming movements of Qigong entered my life, offering a counterbalance to the often intense training of Taekwondo. I realized that these two practices could harmonize beautifully, leading to a holistic approach to wellness. Upon moving to Burnaby, BC, I recognized a lack of spaces that merged these two powerful disciplines. Thus, I founded SC Kim's Taekwondo, not merely as a business but as an extension of my passion to share these ancient teachings with the community. My dream has always been to create a sanctuary where individuals feel empowered, regardless of their background or experience. Witnessing students transform—gaining confidence, strength, and peace—fuels my dedication every single day. Through this center, I aim to preserve my heritage while making Taekwondo and Qigong accessible to everyone in Burnaby. It’s more than physical practice; it’s about creating a family that thrives together.
