Welcome to the Woo Kim Nanaimo Taekwondo Home Page!
Let's Clear Things Up
There seems to be some confusion between us and other Taekwondo schools here in Nanaimo. We are located in Nanaimo at 2301 Mcullough Road, Compartment "F". Our Grand Master's name is Gil Woo Kim - Liaison to the Kukkiwon Central Gymnasium in Seoul Korea and three time former President of the B.C. Taekwondo Federation.
Woo Kim Nanaimo has been established in this area for over 22 years. We teach "World Taekwondo Style" and are not a commercial business. This means that the club is run by the members for the members. Because of this we are able to keep our fees low and our class times more flexible.
About Our Classes
The Woo Kim Nanaimo Taekwondo School is a non-profit society for the furthering of the martial art of Taekwondo. The school is sanctioned by the British Columbia World Taekwondo Federation under the technical direction of Grand Master Gil Woo Kim. Local Nanaimo classes are instructed by Master Steve Large. Although hand techniques similar to Karate are used, the accent with Taekwondo is always on the kicks which makes it stand out as one of the more dynamic martial arts. Taekwondo is a recognized Olympic sport with millions of practitioners all over the world.
Once again we are in full swing here at the school for the fall and winter seasons. We are presently accepting registration on an on going basis for all ages of students from 4 years old and up. The school is now open each night from 6:00pm to 8:30pm in the Belfor Building, Compartment "F", 2301 McCullough Road Nanaimo. We do not have special starter classes so students can feel free to join any time. We recommend that students attend classes at least 2 to 3 times at week. At the present time there is no limitation to the amount of days during the week that a student can attend any class that is appropriate for their age group.
Adult Beginner Class Starting in September 
We are taking people on a list for a beginner adults class that will run in a separate room but simultaneously with the children's class on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 6:00pm to 7:00pm. There have been a few adults that have expressed interest in joining our school but for different reasons can't make the second trip or stay for the adults class later in the evening. We would like to offer this parallel class in the "Little Tigers" room as it is not used on these days. Even if you don't have a child in the junior class and think this schedule would suit you come on out we would love to have you! Please let us know if you are interested as soon as possible. We want a minimum of 6-8 adults in order to justify having this class as we will need to bring in an extra instructor.
Regular Adult Classes
Adult Classes are held Monday through Friday from 7:00pm to 8:30pm. These classes are a mixture of cardio, traditional martial arts and partner exercises. Some of the time in class is also spent in learning aspects of Korean language and rules of conduct known as the Taekwondo tenets. The aim is to build strength, self-confidence, and flexibility while getting in shape and learning.
Junior Classes
Regular juniors classes are from 6 to 12 years of age. These classes are offered Monday through Friday from 6:00pm to 7:00pm. The juniors classes are geared in a similar fashion to the adult classes with an accent on self control and mutual respect for instructors and fellow classmates. There are games that are played from time to time to help boost confidence and a spirit of teamwork. Although some individual attention is given, the atmosphere is more group oriented.
Little Tiger Classes
Little Tigers is a program for children 4-5 years old. This class is a mixture of play and basic martial arts and is geared for an almost one on one attention for the students who attend and to make it easier for them to transition into the Junior classes when the time comes. We have recently re-started this program and it is being offered on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 6:00pm to 7:00pm.
