Grandmaster In Mook Kim started teaching Taekwondo to soldiers in the Korean and US Armies in 1957. In 1960 GM Kim left the Army and started teaching private lessons to students who would go on to become Grand National Champions. Then in 1968 GM Kim started teaching to all who wanted to learn the Martial Art of Tae Kwon Do, starting what would become Kim’s Academy of TaeKwonDo.
