About This School
About Us
At Challenge Taekwondo, we believe martial arts is more than kicking and punching — it’s about building confidence, focus, discipline, and leadership that students carry into everyday life.
Led by Master Kyunghoon Kim, a Kukkiwon Certified 6th Dan Master, and supported by Kukkiwon Certified Instructors, our classes are designed to create a positive, motivating, and structured environment where every student can succeed at their own pace.
Our philosophy is simple: Praise builds confidence, and confidence builds success. Through encouraging instruction and partnership with parents, we help students grow stronger not only in Taekwondo, but also at home and at school.
More Confidence. Better Focus. Stronger Character.
History
For over 20 years, Master Kyunghoon Kim and Challenge Taekwondo have proudly served students across Queens and Long Island, helping thousands of students grow through the values of Taekwondo.
Our program is designed to develop confidence, focus, discipline, and strong character while teaching practical self-defense skills in a positive and encouraging environment.
Today, we are excited to continue that mission in East Meadow, supporting students and families as they grow stronger both physically and mentally.

Teen Program
At Challenge Taekwondo, our Teen Program is designed exclusively for teenagers — not combined with younger children. We believe teens learn best when they train alongside students in the same stage of growth, with similar goals, challenges, and energy levels.
This age-specific environment allows our instructors to focus on what matters most during the teenage years: confidence, discipline, leadership, fitness, and real-life self-defense skills. Teen students benefit from more focused instruction, stronger peer connection, and training that feels challenging, motivating, and age-appropriate.
A major focus of our program is Bully Prevention and Self-Defense. We teach students how to develop awareness, set healthy boundaries, stay calm under pressure, and respond with confidence when facing difficult situations. Our goal is not to encourage fighting — it is to help teens become strong, respectful, and confident individuals who know how to protect themselves and make good decisions.
At Challenge Taekwondo, we help teens build confidence that carries into school, friendships, and everyday life.
