Take the practice home

Not every family lives near Woodinville, and practice does not stop when class ends. We are building TRUETH online to bring Grand Master Won Kuk Kim's teaching to parents first, then to students and instructors.

Parent courses

For parents, first

AI

Agent TRUETH

We are developing an AI guide for parents, based on Master Kim's teaching. We want it to answer questions about classes and walk you through practice at home.

Not available yet. When it opens, it will always tell you it is an AI.

Books

The TRUETH library

Master Kim has written down his method for children. We plan to prepare it for parents, instructors and children themselves.

For TRUETH students

Practice between classes

In development In development for enrolled TRUETH students first. We will publish how any video of children is handled, stored and deleted before a live or video feature opens.

Short lessons that help TRUETH students practice at home between classes: breathing, focus and the movements from class.

Master Kim is clear that no one becomes a complete martial artist from videos alone. Online lessons support the practice. Belts are earned in person, on the mat.

  • Short breathing and focus practice.
  • Movement review that matches what your child is learning in class.
  • Live group question-and-answer sessions with a TRUETH instructor, on some plans.

Instructor and mastery

Master Kim protects the method. Instructor certification is licensed, supervised and renewable, so every TRUETH class anywhere meets the same standard.

  • Foundations online: the method, the session structure, safeguarding and accommodations.
  • Live cohort: practice teaching with feedback from TRUETH instructors.
  • Mastery intensive: in person with Master Kim, with a supervised teaching practicum.
  • Renewal every two years.
