Grandmaster TM Kim's Karate School in Alpharetta, GA!

TM Kim's Tang Soo Do karate school is headed by Kim Tong Mun Kwan Jang Nim (Grandmaster), 9th Dan in Tang Soo Do Moo Duk Kwan. Grandmaster Kim provides all day-to-day classroom instruction, offering separate classes for beginners, black-belt club students, various children's age groups and adults.
Tang Soo Do karate is a Korean martial art that shares a divergent lineage with Tae Kwon Do and more distantly with other styles of karate. Classes are offered in a traditional format with emphasis placed on proper kicking, striking and blocking techniques, footwork, forms, one-step sparring and free-fighting, and self-defense.
We welcome visitors into our school in Alpharetta, GA, to watch a class, speak with the students, or speak with Grandmaster Kim. Likewise, students and GTA members are welcome to use our student materials as a study guide/curriculum reference.
