WK Taekwondo
Welcome to WK Taekwondo, a cornerstone of martial arts excellence since our doors first opened in 1978. Our mission is to empower individuals of all ages and backgrounds through the transformative power of martial arts. We believe in fostering a supportive environment where students can grow not only in their physical abilities but also in their confidence and resilience.
WK Taekwondo has been around the Cook County area for over 46 years, founded by Wan Sup Kim who pioneered Taekwondo from South Korea to the US. Now serving over three generations, WK Taekwondo is in Schaumburg to help our community level up! Our purpose is to serve the community to level up by building a martial arts community of future leaders that develop complete self-improvement, from physical abilities to mental strength to character development. Life skills such as respect, self-discipline, increased focus, leadership, and more are integrated into every lesson, while developing mental fortitude and the ability to defend themselves.
At WK Taekwondo, we’re more than just a martial arts school; we’re a community dedicated to personal development and lifelong learning. Our approach combines traditional techniques with modern training methodologies, ensuring that every student receives a well-rounded education that extends beyond the dojo. Join us to embark on a journey of self-discovery, discipline, and mastery.

“WK Taekwondo has proudly served the Chicagoland area for over 45 years, continuing a legacy of excellence in martial arts. Our founder, Great Grandmaster Wan Sup Kim, was one of the first pioneers to bring Taekwondo to the United States from South Korea. As a world-class Taekwondo competitor and 1964 world champion, Great Grandmaster Kim laid the foundation for a school rooted in discipline, respect, and personal growth.
Now spanning three generations, WK Taekwondo remains dedicated to fostering these values in students of all ages. Our mission is to empower individuals to level up through the physical, mental, and life skills teachings of Taekwondo, promoting both confidence and character development.”
