Instructors

After completing their black belt training, to become an instructor for Grandmaster Kim potential instructors are required an additional training period for a minimum of three years.  Additionally, potential instructors must show a dedication to the martial arts and a commitment to the school.  These stern requirements have led to the creation of an elite team of instructors that are enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and eager to share what they have learned.  Our team of instructors and instructor interns are featured below:

 

Tom Donaghy

Tom Donaghy began studying under Grandmaster K. H. Kim in August 1978.  Master Donaghy is only the second of Grandmaster Kim's students to reach the status of "Master".  Master Donaghy carved his name in the annals of board-breaking by successfully breaking ten boards (without spacers) with a sliding side kick.

Howard Martin

Howard Martin has been studying with Grandmaster Kim since 1978.  Master Martin is a local Omaha businessman who is active in teaching and promoting the art of Tae Kwon Do.  Master Martin is a gifted motivator who encourages his students to strive for perfection.

 

 

Ted Pryor

Ted Pryor began studying under Grandmaster K. H. Kim in March 1979 at the age of forty-eight.  Master Pryor is proof that age is not an issue. Master Pryor, at the age of seventy-five, continues to practice Tae Kwon Do and instruct classes.  Few students are able to keep up with Master Pryor's "leg lift" exercises.

 

 

Mike Cech

Mike Cech began studying under Grandmaster K. H. Kim in August 1982 and has developed into a remarkable instructor with the beginning Pee Wee (ages 5 -11) students.  Instructor Cech has a reputation as a fierce competitor in the ring. He executes his techniques with incredible power, speed and accuracy. He has performed breathtaking speed breaks on free-falling boards and an incredible three-board wheel kick speed break at tournaments.
