SA BUM NIM

“Sa Bum Grady’s apprenticeship and experience under Grandmaster H.K. Lee has made him one of the most knowledgeable and qualified Tae Kwon Do master instructors in the country. Mr. Grady’s students can be confident that they are receiving the finest instruction available.”

“Sa Bum Grady gave my daughter and I our first Tae Kwon Do lesson. He made us feel remarkably at ease and comfortable with Tae Kwon Do training. He has been an inspirational instructor and an admirable leader. He is a significant contributor to developing students to their maximum capability. It is clearly his calling to be a Tae Kwon Do master instructor.”
J. Brian Clements, 30.

“My son and daughter originally began taking Tae Kwon Do from another master in the Northern Virginia area. However, when the school was forced to close, Grandmaster Lee agreed to take over the school and honor all the students’ contracts. I will never forget the first day when my children went to class expecting to see their regular master and found that someone new had taken over. That day, they met their new master and a wonderful instructor who made their transition much easier. That master instructor was Sa Bum Grady.
“As the weeks passed and I watched them practice and I saw what wonderful leadership Sa Bum Grady provided for Grandmaster Lee, I decided to join in their training.
“ We have all three of us been practicing for four years now, and I still see Sa Bum Grady as that kind and friendly person I met four years ago. He is untiring and generous with his time. Whenever a student needs help, no matter what level, he is always there exhibiting his patience and understanding. Through his kind and gentle nature, he serves as an example and inspiration to all those he meets.”

“Sa Bum Grady has been an inspiration to us. Tae Kwon-Do can really keep you young.”
Mike Davis, 46, and son Matt, 15.

“While practicing at Eagle Tae Kwon Do Academy, Sa Bum Grady has worked my three sons and me. He readily offers encouragement to all students. He instructs with a sense of confidence that makes everyone try a little harder and still has the patience to help and teach the students in a caring way.
“The Charlotte Eagle Tae Kwon Do Academy is very fortunate to have Sa Bum Grady.”
