The TRUETH Charter

Grand Master Won Kuk Kim and the TRUETH team set these promises for our founding academy in Woodinville and for every center that carries the TRUETH name after it.

The Charter

Eight promises

  1. I. Every child belongs

    Children with and without a diagnosis train together. No child is placed apart.

  2. II. Scholarship first

    Cost is the last question. No child is turned away for financial reasons.

  3. III. Safety before everything

    Every center must run background checks, safeguarding training, a written physical contact policy and mandated reporting.

  4. IV. Alongside care, never instead of it

    TRUETH works with the medical, psychological and educational care a child receives and never replaces it.

  5. V. Measure and publish

    Every center measures outcomes the same way and shares them, whatever they show.

  6. VI. A lineage with accountability

    Only instructors certified in TRUETH Jin Sun Do teach it. A center that falls below the standard loses the name.

  7. VII. Open to every family

    TRUETH is nonpartisan and welcomes every background and belief.

  8. VIII. Human-first

    Technology supports the work. People name children, lead ceremonies and make every decision about a child.

Future centers

How a TRUETH center is chartered

In developmentNot open yet. Before we charter any center, counsel will review the terms, and we will publish fees and agreements once approved. If your organization wants to be among the first, tell us.

We plan to document and review delivery at the founding academy before expanding. No center will carry the name until the programs, ceremonies and safety practices it adopts are written down and reviewed.

Licensed program

An existing martial arts school, clinic, school or community center delivers TRUETH programs inside its own space with certified instructors.

Regional center

A local organization runs a TRUETH center. TRUETH holds the curriculum, the safety standard, instructor certification and outcome measurement; the local team runs classes, events and local fundraising.

  1. Document

    Programs documented and reviewed at the founding academy.

  2. Pilot

    One school, one clinic and one community partner.

  3. Standardize

    Manuals, instructor training and quality review written down.

  4. Grow

    Regional centers, then national.
