“I usually don’t leave reviews but this place is above and beyond. Master Kim is absolutely incredible with kids. We signed our 4-year old up for the 4 class trial and he was hooked in the first 5 minutes of class 1. It has been an incredible introduction to organized activities/sports. The value is also amazing.”

“My son began his journey at Mt Kim in 2018 & did attain his Black Belt in about 4 years. I cant say enough about this place. The instructors are amazing & dedicated. The facility is clean & organized. The most important thing I can say is how much it helped my son develop top notch fitness, discipline & respect. This is so important during the early years & I would highly recommend Mt Kim-Pantops! Hats off to Master Kang & his staff for creating such an incredible environment that your child can grow and thrive in!”

“My daughter was enrolled from 4 1/2 years old until we moved last year at 8, and also did their summer camp program for 3 years. She absolutely loved it, and so did I! They would pick her up directly from school, do sports, homework, organized recreation, *and* free time with her until my work got out, and the summer hours were very flexible for my work schedule as well. The instructors seem to really like kids, and work well even with the really small kids. I thoroughly recommend Mt. Kim of Charlottesville: You get so much more value for your dollar --school pickup, self defense training, group running around time, homework support-- than you would taking the child to a sitter!”
