Kids Martial Arts in Santa Clara: Free First Class, Free Uniform
Every parent who walks into KIMOO Martial Arts in Santa Clara says a version of the same thing. They want their child to be more focused. More confident. Better at finishing what they start.
Martial arts delivers that, but only when it is taught properly. Here is what properly looks like.
Character first, kicks second
Our kids program for ages 5 to 12 is built on three things: focus, respect and confidence. The kicks are how we teach them, not the point of them.
A belt at KIMOO is earned, never given. A child learns that the thing they want is available, that it takes months of showing up, and that nobody is going to hand it to them. That lesson transfers directly to school, to chores and to every difficult thing they will meet later.
Parents routinely tell us the change shows up at home before it shows up on the mat.
Taught by a Grand Master, personally
Your child is not learning from a teenager working a part-time job. Grand Master Hwang trained at the Korea Hapkido Headquarters Dojang in 1971, holds 8th Dan certification, won gold at the 2005 Wushu World Cup in Milan, and received the President's Volunteer Service Award at the White House in 2023.
He still corrects stances personally. In Santa Clara.
Why Santa Clara parents stay
- Small enough to be seen. Your child is corrected by name, not lost in a crowd.
- Belt progression with real standards. Visible goals that cannot be bought.
- Anti-bullying that actually works. Confidence is what stops most bullying, long before technique.
- Discipline that travels. Teachers notice. That is the feedback we hear most.
Your first class is free. The uniform is free too.
No contract. No deposit. No equipment to buy. Bring your child in comfortable clothes for a free trial class and watch the first lesson yourself.
When you enrol, the uniform and white belt are free. Nothing extra to buy on day one.

Train where the standard is real
Great training is not about a flashy facility. It is about who corrects you, how closely they watch, and whether the standard they hold is a real one. At KIMOO you are corrected personally by an 8th Dan Grand Master who trained at the source of the art in 1971 — not by a rotating roster of part-time instructors.
Classes run throughout the week so students can train around school and work schedules. Call (408) 243-1001 and we will find the times that suit you and confirm your free class within one day.
