Two Generations of Martial Arts Excellence

A Legacy of Excellence Since 1995

Founded by Grandmaster Moon K Kim, founder of the World Hanguk Tang Soo Do Federation, our academy has been serving the Carolinas for nearly three decades. Grandmaster Kim's vision was to create safer, friendlier communities through quality martial arts instruction.

Today, his legacy continues under the expert leadership of Master Amy Kim and Master Charles Kim. Together, they maintain the highest standards of Tang Soo Do instruction while fostering a family-friendly environment where students of all ages can thrive.

What Our Students Say

Hear from our amazing martial arts family

"We’ve been coming here for about 3–4 years, and the instructors truly feel like family. My kids absolutely love it here and feel safe, supported, and understood. The team goes beyond teaching martial arts skills, they instill discipline, confidence, and the importance of doing the right thing. The instructors are leaders my kids can truly trust and talk to, and I’m forever grateful for the positive impact they’ve had on them."

Dana Raouff Ballantyne Location

"My son and I have been students and a part of the USK family for 9 years. It has been great for our relationship as well as our individual physical and mental growth. The best part is that it is run by a family of good, honest people who truly care about their students."

Jennifer Salgado Ballantyne Location

"My son has been attending USK for the past 8 years. Master Amy, Master Charles, and Master Howie have become our second family. They are enthusiastic, encouraging, and willing to help in any way that they can. All of the instructors have been extremely caring and enthusiastic."
