Headmaster Eugene

About

Master Eugene is the current Head Master at United Black Belt Taekwondo School. He has trained under Grandmaster Jae Ho Kim since he was 10 years old and is currently a Kukkiwon Certified 5th Degree Black Belt. He is the one and only student of Grandmaster Jae Ho Kim to make it to head master since the beginning of his Taekwondo journey. He holds a 5th degree Black Belt and always aims to advance his skills and those of his students. For Master Eugene, students hold the first priority!

“At United Black Belt, my mission is to pass on the knowledge, experience, and skills I’ve gained over decades of dedication to martial arts. I strive to give each student a powerful head start in life—not just in Taekwondo, but in character, confidence, and discipline. Many can debate which martial art or school is superior, but I believe it’s the teacher, the culture, and the environment that shape true champions. Every student who walks through our doors should leave transformed—stronger, prouder, and more prepared to face life’s challenges than when they first arrived. My goal is to give them lasting value they can carry forward with pride.” – Headmaster Eugene
