Hello, my name is Grandmaster Kang

…and I am the founder of Master Kang’s Martial Arts. When I was growing up in South Korea, I began my long journey in Taekwondo and the impact it has made on my life has been profound. I have been fortunate to win numerous world championships, compete in the Olympics, and serve as a national coach in South Korea, India, and Vietnam. I have dedicated my life to teaching the values of Taekwondo and providing students with a challenging, yet rewarding training experience where they can grow into becoming the best versions of themselves. I invite you to join our academy and see for yourself how martial arts can change your life for the better.
