Grandmaster Ho Boum Kim, 8th Dan is a true gentleman martial artist. Tempered with humility, Master Ho Kim is highly educated and one of the most academically inclined of all masters I have met. His background covers not only Taekwondo, but Kendo and other traditional Korean weapons of self-defense. Master Kim studies Qigong as a scholar and functionalist, always looking for application of this aspect of the martial arts to the healing of those in need. His wife has dedicated herself to the treatment of asthma and as a doctor, runs a clinic for this research. Master Ho Kim has worked with his wife to introduce Master Joon Choi's Kimoodo-Physical Therapy Medicine into the field of Breathing Science.
