Two Generations of Martial Arts Excellence

A Legacy of Excellence Since 1995

Founded by Grandmaster Moon K Kim, founder of the World Hanguk Tang Soo Do Federation, our academy has been serving the Carolinas for nearly three decades. Grandmaster Kim's vision was to create safer, friendlier communities through quality martial arts instruction.

Today, his legacy continues under the expert leadership of Master Amy Kim and Master Charles Kim. Together, they maintain the highest standards of Tang Soo Do instruction while fostering a family-friendly environment where students of all ages can thrive.

What Our Students Say

Hear from our amazing martial arts family

"We've been part of the USK family for almost 7 years. One of our kids is in Tiny Tigers, and the other earned a Black Belt. They've both grown tremendously in confidence and character. We couldn't be happier. Highly recommend!"
