Kims Taekwondo School, Idaho Falls

Looking up to someone is great, pushing yourself to be better is great. But striving to be better than you were yesterday is most important! It can be as little as is your stance today better then yesterday? Is that middle punch where it is supposed to be. What have you worked on to be a better version of you tomorrow?

It's officially Friday and you've made it to the weekend!! Come kick into the weekend with us at either 4:45 or 5:45, upstairs in the studio!

Teaching is a reward! We love watching the excitement in the littles as they learn and progress while having fun! We enjoy helping our teens and adults grow and develop on their taekwondo journey! Being a good teacher is celebrating your students success while wanting no recognition of your own!

Some class reminders:

Class, testing and tournaments dress code and reminders:

1. Your dobok is your uniform:
~show up ready for class with every piece of your dobok and belt.
~You shouldn't have long tee shirts/tank tops hanging out the bottom of your top
~Remove your jeans, dobok's have pants! Plus you will be hot with jeans under and your movements will be restricted. Girls if you feel more comfortable wear biker shorts or leggings that don't hang out the bottoms under your dobok pants.
~ONLY Kim's Taekwondo issued tanks/tees are allowed in place of dobok top, your dobok pants and belt are still required every class. Order forms can be picked up from instructors.
~Full dobok's are required for tests and tournaments NO exceptions!
2. No jewelry:
~Necklaces can be broken, earrings ripped out and rings can cut people or they just plain hurt when you hit someone wearing one.
3. Hair:
~Keep it out of your face, constantly playing with it is only a distraction.
4. Nails:
~They need to be cut hands and feet. They hurt, cut and leave scars.
5. Deodorant:
~Make sure you wear it every class, nobody likes to smell or partner with stinky people.
These reminders are for everyone from adults down to the littlest kid!

It is really a never ending journey of improvement amd knowledge.

There are so many benefits to taekwondo and not just for kids! We have classes for all ages! Join us today for our Tuesday class either 4:45 or 5:45, located in the gym at (gym membership not required)

We are moving into summers last finale, otherwise known as Aug! Some updates: Our next rank test and combined black belt test will be Sept 18th! That means if you're up for testing make sure you're putting in the time inside of class to get that practice in!

In martial arts, natural ability can carry you far.

Speed. Power. Timing. Instinct.

But talent can only grow as long as the student remains willing to learn.

Ego changes that, because it makes correction feel like disrespect, it turns sparring into a performance, and creates excuses whenever weakness is exposed.

Instead of studying the mistake, you defend your image. Instead of returning to the fundamentals, you chase techniques that make you look advanced.

And slowly, your talent stops developing. It’s not that you reached your limit, but because your ego doesn’t allow anyone show you
where that limit could be expanded, you blind yourself to opportunities for improvement.

Even the most gifted fighter in the room can become the most stagnant if they always need to feel superior, while the less talented student, the one who listens, reflects, and keeps correcting, quietly passes them.

Humility doesn’t weaken talent, it gives talent somewhere to go.

Every time training exposes you, you have a choice:

1- Protect the image of the fighter you think you are…

2- or become the fighter you still have the potential to be.

Next color belt rank test & black belt test will be held 9/18 at 4:45pm. Only current students & their family are invited, thanks!

🥋it's about the journey ✨️
