Our School

United Black Belt has been a cornerstone in the Edison, New Jersey community for over 35 years. Our Taekwondo school is renowned for its commitment to discipline, character development, and fostering future leaders. Our school is also one of the founders of the US Olympic Championship.

Under the guidance of Grand Master Kim, our experienced instructors provide a structured and supportive learning environment where students of all ages can thrive. Through rigorous training and mentorship, we empower individuals to develop self-confidence, discipline, and valuable life skills.

At United Black Belt, we believe in the transformative power of Taekwondo. Our programs are designed to enhance physical fitness, mental focus, and personal growth.

Our Grandmaster

Grandmaster Jae Ho Kim is the only Kukkiwon certified 9th degree black belt in New Jersey, the highest level of black belt possible in the art of Taekwondo. You can find out more about his many accomplishments here.

Together with Head Master Eugene, they have made a commitment to instill the students of United Black Belt with the interpersonal, technical, and decision-making skills and knowledge that they will need to succeed once they enter the next chapter of their young adult lives.

Development of Strong Character

We believe that academic excellence is only one piece of a well-rounded education. Equally important is the development of strong character. Our school is committed to nurturing students who are not only intelligent but also diligent, responsible, and ethical. We understand that these qualities are essential for success in all aspects of life. Each kick and form represents a step toward self-mastery, where the physical challenges mirror the inner journey of resilience.

Resilience & Commitment > Fun

Unlike some schools that may prioritize a fun and enjoyable experience, we understand that true learning often involves dedication, obstacles, and occasionally failure. By cultivating resilience and grit, we are preparing our students to be lifelong learners who are capable of adapting to change and overcoming adversity. In fact, much of our course work is designed to teach students how to pass through failure/difficulty rather than avoid it.

A Valuable Experience: Our Mission

We guarantee that your child will receive a personalized learning experience, a strong foundation in good values/character development, and a supportive community. Our dedicated faculty tailor instruction to each student’s individual needs and learning style. Our rigorous curriculum prepares students for success in college and beyond. Our goal is for our student’s to leave our school with everything they will need to become independently successful.

Build your child’s future, one kick at a time.
