Biography

Believing in every child’s potential, and helping them shine.

Hello,
I’m Hyotae Kim, Instructor at HYO Taekwondo.

I believe Taekwondo is more than just techniques or training — it has the power to change lives. Through Taekwondo, children learn confidence and perseverance. They fall, but they also learn to get back up stronger each time. In that journey, they discover how to believe in and love themselves.

When children first walk into the dojang, they often carry nerves and fear. But as time passes, their eyes brighten, and their smiles grow more confident — and witnessing that transformation is my greatest reward.

I approach my students with the heart of a parent — firm but warm, celebrating every small step of progress, and offering a helping hand whenever they stumble.

At HYO Taekwondo, children grow strong not just in body, but in character. I will always be here to guide and encourage them, helping each of them discover their own unique light.

Thank you.
Hyotae Kim
