My son chose Hwa Rang Do when he was four years old. His mother and I told him that if he was still interested in it when he was five we would let him join. On his Fifth birthday he told us he wanted to sign up. He is now almost ten and has been diligently working towards his second degree black belt. Master Yum and Michael do much more than teach a martial art. They teach children, character and commitment. They teach children the values of Family, Country and Teachers. My son lives these values not only because they are important to my wife and I but they are the reinforced in each and every class. We have made great friends through Hwa Rang Do and hope that Nico stays with it forever.

Yum’s Hwarangdo is more than just your basic martial arts training center. At Yum’s karate you are welcomed into an atmosphere where you feel like family. It is a place where virtues, inner values, and discipline are paramount. For me personally, it was a perfect environment of camaraderie, discipline, and growth. I am grateful that I have had the opportunity to train under and with an incredible group of people who understand that martial arts is first and foremost about honor, respect, and good personal character.

Not your typical run of the mill karate place. Its a brilliant mixture of self defense, mind and body discipline, art and culture. My children have been going for years and I have nothing but the highest compliments for this institution. The owner and employees have been the same ever since and the same students as well. Which shows that theyre helping and changing lives. I got my son involved because he was having trouble focusing in school. this began improving within weeks and he hasnt stopped improving since. I highly recommend Yums Karate Hwa Rang Do to everyone that I can.

Master Ki Tae Yum created a unique place thanks to his skills, experience, wisdom and moral character. He is truly involved in the development of each of his students. He delivers a true traditional education of martial arts. My sons have been his students for five years and I am very proud of their achievements. I highly recommend Yums Karate to anyone interested in martial arts.

Frim the moment you walk in and observe the environment you notice a huge difference in comparison to non-traditional martial arts. Master Yum is terrific and creates a wonderful environment to learn and progress. Both my son and I are enrolled with this awesome family and recommend to join if you want to learn and grow physically, mentally and spiritual. Thank you!

I am so very fortunate to be a part of Yums Hwa Rang Do. Perhaps the most important reason is related to my son Matthew. Since becoming a part of the program he has not only earned his black belt but in the process has become a very respectful and disciplined child. I thank Grand Master Ki Tae Yum for creating a program that not only teaches Hwa Rang Do techniques but also teaches students about respect, discipline, honesty and why working hard to be your best is important. The second reason is because of what learning Hwa Rang Do has meant to me. I have been going to class since October of 2011 and I feel better today than I have in over, well lets just say many many many years. I am more flexible, agile and more confident about a wide variety of things, not the least of which is self defense. Thank you Master for welcoming us into the family. I look forward to continuing my training and becoming a better person.

I am 54 years old and I am a physician.I joined Yums Karate two years ago as I was invited to practice with my sons for a short trial and I have stayed. I realized how beneficial it was for my general health and stress management. I feel much stronger and healthier since then. Every time after the practice I feel mentally rested and full of energy. The fact that I can do it with my sons makes it a wonderful experience. This is all possible thanks to Master Ki Tae Yum.He is an incredible man. He is a true, authentic Korean Martial Artist who devoted his entire life to Hwa Rang Do. We feel lucky to have such an opportunity and we truly appreciate it.

Be aware of schools like this! We put in thousands of dollars to these people only to find out that my son is not a certified black belt. Do your research! These guys are frauds!

My appreciation to master Ki Tae Yum and all the members of the haw rang do.Trough all these years I have seen how so many kids have changed their bad habits and attitude into a good one thanks to the skills received at this traditional martial art school . We welcome parents who want to see their kids improvement in discipline, respect and courage to join the art martial school, and at the same time we invite you parents to come and practice with us (parents and kids)

Hwa Rang Do has been the best thing Ive done for my focus, discipline, skill, endurance, strength, and both physically and mentally. Grand Master Ki Tae Yum and his instructors are great examples of how martial arts can improve every ones life. They care and show respect for each individual and their enthusiasm makes demanding workouts and lessons a joy. I look forward to going to the Dojang every chance I get.

Florida Hwa Rang Do is a great place to learn a traditional martial art. Grand Master Ki Tae Yum and the instructors do a fantastic job of teaching how to kick, punch, and defend yourself but they also stress the importance of having discipline, focus, and endurance as the students train so they can further improve themselves. They do a great job of correlating how these characteristics will not only help them in the dojang but also throughout their whole lives. I always enjoy going there to train because of the welcoming atmosphere as well as knowing i am about to do an intense and fun class of Hwa Rang Do. Grand Master Ki Tae Yum and all of the people at Florida Hwa Rang Do are supportive and kind, Florida Hwa Rang Do cannot be matched.

Traditional martial arts at its highest point and its best; Chong Kwan Jang Nim Ki Tae Yum has a long history of producing some of the most intelligent, well rounded ladies and gentlemen. At this dojang, its not just about the combat, its not just about the character building - it is a total infusion of both creating a person of high moral values, intelligence and physical capabilities. In short - a Hwa Rang Warrior!
