"So many new people are in Central Florida that I ought to retell Master Kim's story. I met him when he came to Orlando to take over a small school from another Korean. Tae Kwon-Do, by the way, is a Korean martial art similar to Japanese karate." and "On Saturday Master YK Kim will present his annual Tae Kwon-Do exhibition for charity. The proceeds will go to the House of Hope, the home for troubled[...]"

Kim's Tae Kwon-Do is teaming up with the Orange County Sheriff Office's Drug Abuse Resistance Education unit in the 1993 Break-a-Thon.

"What you will see Saturday will be genuine tae kwon do, but done for fun and entertainment. There won't be any of that grim, macho bloodletting that martial arts movies love to feature. Master Kim, his instructors and students use these exhibitions to let their hair down and ham it up a bit while demonstrating proper techniques."
 * Reese, Charley. "TRIUMPHS OF FAITH TO STAGE SHOW THAT OFFERS HOPE FOR NEEDY GIRLS." Orlando Sentinel. November 4, 1987. A12 Editorial. "Some martial arts schools stress violence and aggressiveness, but Master Kim has always stressed non-violence. It may seem like a paradox, but the goal is to gain such self-confidence that you never need to demonstrate it and can therefore walk away from trouble. Only as an absolute last resort is tae- kwon-do to be used in self- defense, according to Master Kim's philosophy of teaching." and "Seemingly, Master YK Kim's schools of tae-kwon-do, where people learn a Korean fighting style, and Sara Trollinger's House of Hope, where teen-age girls find[...]"

So he began a 1,200-calorie-per-day diet and started looking for an exercise program "that would be fun so I would stick with it." He settled on the martial arts, starting at a Tae Kwon Do school in Winter Park, and transferring after a short while to the Y.K. Kim school in Orlando."
