vs Tiger Kim’s
Many signs. One hall.
Tiger Kim’s World Class Tae Kwon Do runs neighborhood schools across the Triad and Charlotte. That convenience is real. We are not them. We teach the Chinese arts in one hall on Gate City Boulevard.
What they still do well
Convenient neighborhood schools. High Point families can walk into 3935 Brian Jordan Place. Greensboro has New Garden and Battleground. Kernersville and Winston-Salem have their own doors.
A beginner trial is advertised: one private lesson plus two group classes. That is a clear first step.
The kid pitch is life skills through Tae Kwon Do: confidence, focus, respect. Families who want that model, close to home, should go there.
The model, not the students
We do not talk down Tiger Kim’s students. They showed up. That is enough.
The model is a trial-to-membership Tae Kwon Do chain with a belt-test calendar. Grandmaster oversees color and black belt exams. Testing-fee dollar amounts are not published, so we will not print a made-up number.
The live locations list had 10 schools on 2026-09-12. Older about copy still says seven. We count the list.
Kids, said once and straight
Tiger Kim’s Little Tigers is ages 4 to 5. Our Tiny Tigers class (ages 3 to 7, Sensei Sally Nolte, $75/mo) is paused until later this school year. Do not send a 4-year-old to a dark Cloud Forest class.
Kids kung fu and Goju here start at 5. Kids jujitsu starts at 7.
