The instruction for children at IMAC is comprehensive, inclusive and organized. Kids may attend group thirty minute sessions 3x per week. Class size is always under 10 kids with 2 or sometimes 3 instructors teaching. All the instructors are patient but firm and do a great job keeping their students focused. Confidence building, agility and maintaining focus are all benefits of martial arts. We LOVE all of the instructors including Master Hahn the owner, Master William, Master Samson and Kasia. IMAC is definitely a hidden martial arts gem of in the Union Square area. It would be great to see their business grow further.

Taking taekwondo classes at IMAC is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made! All of the wonderful instructors are supportive, kind, and hardworking. The classes are always engaging, and I always leave feeling energized. The other students in the classes are also encouraging and great to work with. So far, I have both learned and grown a lot. I’m not very athletic and had not taken any martial arts classes previously, but the classes at IMAC have been very educational and just the right amount of challenging. I cannot recommend it enough!

My daughter attended IAMC for 5 years while we were in NYC. Under the guidance of Master Hahn and his team, she has not only learned the art of taekwondo but has also blossomed into a more self-confident individual. The school provides a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere. Master Hahn and his team went beyond physical techniques; they instilled core values like discipline, respect, and perseverance in each student. It has been an incredible journey for my daughter, filled with invaluable lessons and personal growth. I am grateful to Master Hahn and his team for their guidance and the positive impact they have had. I would strongly recommend IMAC to any parent seeking a supportive environment for their child to learn and grow.

Great place to learn Taekwondo. Really enjoying the experience in the dojang. Coming in as an adult beginner can be intimidating but the instructors are great and super professional. Grandmaster Hahn is an inspiring martial artist. The art feels even more complete with Hapkido mixed in. The private lessons are a fantastic experience, very focused on proper form and there’s a lot of attention on the student’s individual goals and technique from both the instructor (Samson) and Grandmaster Hahn himself. I feel like I accomplish a lot in each session and am progressing faster than I imagined. Way faster than in group classes I tried elsewhere. Very happy to be a student there!

I have been coming here for several months now and absolutely love it! I had never done martial arts before, but had always wanted to try it, and the instructions have been great at breaking things down and making everything accessible. As you catch on, they will continue to challenge you with progressively harder skills which keeps things fun and interesting. Everyone is super friendly and accepting, so whatever your ability level is, I would highly recommend joining!

I am in the adult class. This is a great school, where you can learn hapkido and taekwondo. You will learn intricate techniques taught very simply, look forward in continuing training and move up in rank!

My five year old son has been taking classes at IMAC for almost a year and absolutely loves it. He looks forward to every session. He is thrilled when he learns new moves and practices them at home. Every staff member at the school is supportive and works with the students closely to ensure they make progress. Grandmaster Hahn is so zen and commands respects from all his students. He is a pleasure to work with. As a parent, I love the art because it really teaches my son discipline and respect in a very organic manner. Try the introductory classes you will be sure to love it!

My daughter is on the autism spectrum...our experience with any kind of class has always been very hit or miss (as I’m sure a lot of special needs parents can relate to)...Master Hahn and Samson are INCREDIBLE with her. I literally am stunned at her level of focus and excitement about this training. The teachers somehow intuitively know how to work with her...I can’t really express my gratitude and relief and excitement to have found International Martial Arts Center. It has really changed our lives. She told me she feels “tranquil” after class...anyone with a child with anxiety or attention issues will know what a miracle of a statement this is!!

A great school with a great curriculum. Grand Master Hahn is an excellent instructor and the higher-belts are super helpful. Everyone is friendly and welcoming, and although we train hard, there's a great positive and supportive energy. I particularly like the Hapkido-based self-defense curriculum, which distinguishes this school from other Taekwondo schools. Highly recommended!

We could not ask for a better Martial Arts school for our 6 year old daughter! Over the past year, she has learned to focus better, support her fellow students, and work hard toward her goals. We are so proud of her achievements in taekwondo, but more importantly, she has learned to take pride in her own hard work. The instructors are incredibly patient and gentle with the kids, while holding them to a very high standard. The school offers a wonderful community of students and teachers, with many parents and children taking classes there together as a family. Master Hahn has a terrific team, and this school is an absolute NYC gem!

Best martial arts school I have ever went to. Classes are small enough to get individual attention and the curriculum includes Taekwondo, Hapkido and more. Learn at your own pace, and students here tend to be very humble and kind-hearted. Grand Master Hahn is the "real deal" as well -- a true master of the arts in mind, body and spirit.

Great place to learn taekwondo. It's in a convenient location and the atmosphere is welcoming. The instructors are great for adults and kids alike. The people here truly make the experience and help build a sense of community. This dojang is dedicated to teaching traditional taekwondo but in a super fun way.

Our daughter has been a student at Martial Arts Center for two years. We love the school. It is welcoming and she has learned so much. The instructors are wonderful and there is a high teacher student ratio. Taekwondo is very worthwhile for children in today’s world that is full of distractions. The school doesn’t just focus on the physical aspect of taekwondo but also the mental. They really try to model and explain the 5 tenets (self-control, integrity, perseverance, courtesy and indomitable spirit) of taekwondo for the students. This is one of the best sports for children and this is a great school.

A great place to learn Taekwondo! The Taekwondo techniques are challenging, but there are many helpful and very patient instructors who work with you. When we work together to learn new forms or combinations, it’s invigorating and exciting. Learning Taekwondo has definitely improved my flexibility and strength and helped me gain physical confidence. There is a really nice sense of community at this school. I look forward to the classes every week.

Conveniently located in the Kips Bay section of Manhattan, the International Martial Arts Center (IMAC) provides instruction in both Taekwondo and Hapkido. Training at IMAC is both intensive and personal. Students are encouraged to achieve their personal best through constant practice and goal setting, and are consistently supported in their efforts at achieving their personal best by Grandmaster Hahn and their IMAC peers. As an IMAC student for approximately 6 years, I have found the experience of training in the martial arts of Taekwondo and Hapkido at IMAC to be challenging, educative and fun.

My kids LOVE master Hahn and his team. They are extremely friendly and have taught my son and daughter discipline and focus while having a lot of fun. If you are looking for a great after school activity, IMAC is a great option.
