About Rivas-JH KIM Taekwondo (River Valley)

Rivas-JH Kim Taekwondo's River Valley branch occupies a studio at UE Square in Singapore's Downtown Core, part of a school that bills itself as Asia Pacific's premier taekwondo academy. The school pairs traditional martial-arts values with a modern, systematic curriculum, aiming to develop well-rounded martial artists across a complete system of kicks, punches, blocks, sweeps, joint locks, grappling and Olympic-style competition.

Classes are tightly structured by age and rank, beginning with Taekwon Tots for the youngest and progressing through T-Kids, TeenKwondo and adult programmes, with dedicated advanced and Poom belt classes for higher-ranked students and a competition team for those wanting to test themselves locally and abroad. The academy is led by internationally certified black belt instructors under Grandmaster Rivas, who also offers the Korean sword art Chosun Haedong Gumdo.

Parents in the River Valley community describe children who stay engaged throughout lessons, enjoy their coaches, and grow in discipline, confidence and self-motivation — some progressing to the competition team after several years. With its emphasis on technical precision delivered in an intuitive, encouraging way, Rivas-JH Kim offers Downtown Core families a structured pathway from first kick to competitive athlete.
