Welcome to Kimm's Institute of Self Defense! Since 1970 we have been using traditional martial arts as a catalyst for personal growth and development. Whether you are looking for self-defense, self-confidence, or just a fun way to stay physically active, let us help you create the foundation for your journey of self-improvement.
Confidence
The philosophy of Han Mu Do focuses on the idea of optimism. By setting goals, persevering through challenges, and striving for excellence, students learn to develop a sense of confidence in themselves and their abilities. Our highest goal is to help our students develop character and inner strength so that they may better themselves.
Self-Discipline
Striving for excellence is hard work! By prioritizing collaboration and supporting one another, students develop humility, empathy, and the ability to work harmoniously. Through this process, they cultivate self-discipline and become individuals who understand both the rewards of dedication and the power of unified effort.
Leadership
One of Han Mu Do's core ideals is that the greatest benefit of self-empowerment is the ability to help others. Through martial arts training, students grow personally and learn to exceed their limits. Then, by serving and supporting others, they develop empathy and inspire those around them, cultivating strong leadership qualities.
