Our Mission

Kim's Academy of Sandy is a family-oriented martial arts studio dedicated to the development of character and inner peace characterized by superb quality and economic viability. Our strength is generated from our commitment to our students, our people, our industry, and our communities.

We teach using positive reinforcement, focusing on student's strengths while at the same time coaching and teaching in a way that promotes learning and improvement. Our instructors are all highly trained and experienced, and completely abstain from "militaristic" teaching methods that can be sometimes found at other martial arts schools.

Along with the physical conditioning and training, we focus on teaching mental strength as well, and espouse values including: self-esteem, self-discipline, respect, obedience, responsibility, confidence, and a positive attitude.
