J H Kim Taekwondo Institute is constantly looking for young aspiring Taekwondo practitioners who wish to consider coaching as a full-time career. However, practitioners must be willing to consider sports coaching as a job. While the hours can be irregular, it is not necessarily longer.

The same great man said, "What I fear is complacency. When things always become better, people tend to want more for less work".

So why be stuck in a bind like the article said? If you have the passion, join us! Message us (or email us at [email protected]) if you are an active practitioner and are willing to coach part-time or full-time.
