USK Martial Arts is a family owned and operated academy with a long history of expertise. The Kim’s family have been in operation in the Carolina’s since 1995 under the original leadership of Grandmaster Kim; now carried on by Master Amy and Master Charles. Grandmaster Moon K Kim, founder of the World Hanguk Tang Soo Do Federation, has dedicated his teachings to contributing to the creation of a safer and friendlier environment for the community.
Our Martial Arts classes are an excellent way for people to receive the exercise they need while also building strong core values and connecting with a community of new friends and mentors from across Ballantyne, Indian Land, and Fort Mill. Starting as young as three years old, we teach how to defend and strike with correct form. But Martial Arts isn't just about learning to fight -- it's about developing a powerful sense of self, instilling positive values, creating unwavering confidence, and establishing a supportive community. There are a wealth of mental and physical benefits that come with Martial Arts classes.
Our very own Master Amy Kim is the 2020 SC Ms. Strawberry Festival Pageant Queen!
