Hello MKTKD Family! ❤️
Master Kim here!
I miss every single one of you already… I might even cry when I see everyone again! 😂❤️
I wanted to let you all know that my surgery was a success. It was a big surgery that lasted about 4 hours, but everything went very well. I truly believe it went so smoothly because of all the prayers, love, and support from our amazing MKTKD family.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you. Your prayers, messages, and encouragement have meant more to me than words can express.
I also want to give a special thank you to our incredible MKTKD team—our Masters, instructors, leadership team, and staff. ❤️ Thank you for stepping up, taking care of our students, supporting one another, and continuing to lead with passion while I recover. Seeing our team come together reminds me that MKTKD is so much more than a martial arts school—we are truly a family. I couldn’t be more proud or grateful for each and every one of you.
Recovery isn’t just about healing physically. Every day, I am becoming stronger physically, stronger mentally, and stronger in my heart. This experience has reminded me that our greatest growth often comes from our biggest challenges.
“A black belt is not someone who never falls. A black belt is someone who always gets back up.”
To all of our students: remember that life will bring challenges, setbacks, and difficult moments. What makes a true martial artist is not avoiding those moments, but choosing to stand back up with courage, determination, and a positive attitude.
I’ll continue working hard on my recovery, and I promise I’ll come back even stronger than before. Until then, keep training hard, keep encouraging one another, and never give up on your goals.
I can’t wait to see all of your smiling faces again.
See you all very soon!
With love and gratitude,
Master Kim ❤️🥋
