Kim’s Hapkido

Kim’s Hapkido at 32999 Yucaipa Blvd #109 in Yucaipa, CA brings together a wide range of martial arts and fitness training under one roof, making it a distinctive stop for local students who want more than a single-discipline academy. The school’s offerings include Jujitsu school, Taekwondo school, Karate school, kickboxing school, boxing gym, self defense school, and a physical fitness program, along with specialized options such as Kickboxing for Women, Little Dragons for ages 2-4, Junior Hapki for ages 4-5, Teen & Adults for ages 13+, Self Defense for Children, Weapons Training, Breathing & Meditation, and a Branch School Program. That variety gives beginners a clear entry point while also creating room for experienced martial artists to cross-train and build depth across striking, self-protection, movement, and conditioning.

The academy’s identity is shaped by its instructors, Grandmaster Kim, Grandmaster Chong S. Kim, and Chong Jae Nim (Founder), whose leadership reflects a traditional martial arts foundation paired with structured progression. Students can pursue belt ranks and milestone testing tied to the school’s lineage, including Tenth Degree Black Belt, 7th Dan JMW Curriculum, and the 96th and 97th Black Belt Test and Ceremony designations. That emphasis on rank, ceremony, and curriculum gives the training a formal, goal-oriented feel that appeals to practitioners who value measurable advancement and a strong sense of heritage. For families, the age-specific programs offer an organized path for children, teens, and adults to grow at a pace that matches their stage of development.

What stands out in the local BJJ and martial arts landscape is the school’s broad training philosophy. Rather than limiting students to one lane, Kim’s Hapkido blends self defense, striking, grappling, fitness, and internal work through Breathing & Meditation. That mix supports practical skill development as well as discipline, focus, and confidence. Students who want a welcoming first step into martial arts can find age-based classes designed for younger children and beginners, while more seasoned students can use the academy’s multi-style training to sharpen fundamentals and explore weapons work, conditioning, and advanced technique in one setting.
