Prime Taekwondo

We’re excited to officially welcome Ms. Thanh Nguyen to our instructor team!

Ms. Thanh brings a strong Taekwondo background, including experience competing in Poomsae at the national level and training across the United States. Outside of Taekwondo, she is currently a Physical Therapy student at KU Medical Center.

We’re excited to have her join our team and share her experience and passion with our students!

Please help us give Ms. Thanh a warm welcome to the Prime Taekwondo family!
🥋👏💙

Over this past week, Master Amaron had the opportunity to participate in the 127th International Master Qualification Course, hosted by Kukkiwon and the World Taekwondo Academy (WTA) in New Jersey!

This four-day course brought together Masters and Grandmasters from across the United States and other countries to train, learn and further their knowledge of Kukkiwon Taekwondo.

The course provided advanced education in Kukkiwon standards, techniques, instruction and leadership. Completing it is also an important step toward allowing Master Amaron to recommend and submit eligible Black Belt students for official Kukkiwon Dan certification, connecting our students to the worldwide Kukkiwon Taekwondo system.

Congratulations to all the Masters and Grandmasters who completed the course!

A special thank you to WTA Vice President Grandmaster Ahn Jae-yun, along with Grandmaster Ik Pil Kang, Grandmaster B**g Hwan Kim and Master Ji Seok Lee, who traveled from South Korea to share their knowledge and experience with us. We would also like to thank all of the other Grandmasters, Masters, Kukkiwon officials and staff who helped make this course possible!

And a very special thank you to Master Dae Hyun Kwon for serving as our captain and guiding us throughout the course. We’ll definitely have our vote ready when he runs for Kukkiwon President one day! 😂🙌

We’re excited to continue learning, growing and bringing these opportunities back to our students at Prime Taekwondo! 🥋

There are some goodbyes that are harder to write than others 💫

After nearly 10 years at our studio, today I have to say goodbye to someone who is so much more than an instructor to me. She has become my family and someone who will always hold a very special place at the dojang. Today marks the last day of having Ms. Hollie as our instructor.

I still remember teaching her when she was just beginning her Taekwondo journey. I could see something special in her...the potential, the determination and the person she had the ability to become.

Ms. Hollie's journey wasn't always easy. She faced some difficult challenges during her teenage years and throughout her Taekwondo journey. With the support of this community, the people around her and her own strength and perseverance, she learned to push through it all.

Watching her grow from that little girl I taught and grew with years ago into a confident and strong woman she is today has been one of the greatest privileges of my time at this studio.

I am beyond proud of everything you've achieved both on and off the mat. You've grown into a great teacher, role model and person. You've paid back your community that helped shape you and touched the lives of so many other students.

While I'm incredibly sad to see you leave, I'm excited to see where life takes you next. You'll always have a place here and you'll always be family.

Thank you for the last 10 years, for the memories, the laughs, the hard days and everything in between.

Love you sis 🫶
Instructor Vanessa

☀️ PRIME TAEKWONDO SUMMER PICNIC 2026! 🥋

What an awesome day with our Prime Taekwondo family!

A huge THANK YOU to all of our families who came out to our annual Summer Picnic and to everyone who donated food, drinks, supplies and helped make the day possible. Our families are truly what make Prime Taekwondo such a strong community and Taekwondo family, and we’re incredibly thankful for each and every one of you!

We hope everyone had an amazing time hanging out, eating some good food, playing games and of course… the WATER BALLOON FIGHT! 💦🎈😂

Speaking of which… everyone who hit Master Amaron with a water balloon owes him 100 push-ups next week. 😤😂

We also want to give a very special shoutout to the Morales Family for bringing out their own grill and taking on grill-master duties for the day! Thank you for cooking up all those delicious hamburgers and hot dogs for everyone. We appreciate you guys so much!

Thank you again to everyone who helped make this year’s picnic such a great one.

We train together. We grow together. We’re a Taekwondo family. ❤️🥋

Until next summer! ☀️👊🏼
