Jung Suwon Martial Arts

For Children, Adults and Families

Great Grandmaster Tae Yun Kim is one of the highest ranking martial artists in the world. Her training began at the age of 7 in South Korea, at a time when girls were not allowed to train in the martial arts. Overcoming physical, mental and social obstacles to achieve goals that others told her were impossible, Great Grandmaster Tae Yun Kim founded the art of Jung SuWon – which means, “the way of uniting body, mind and spirit in total harmony.”
