BURBANK, California – JUNE 2, 2009 – MEDIA ALERT -- You are invited to be a part of an exclusive group of media that will witness the ribbon cutting for the grand opening of Martial Arts World in Downtown Burbank, CA on Saturday, June 13, 2009, at 175 E Olive Avenue.



Meet the founder of Martial Arts World, the world famous Grandmaster Y.K. Kim as he shares his new concept of martial arts. This is unlike anything you have ever experienced. His revolutionary approach combines physical self-defense techniques with a unique curriculum that develops mental, moral, financial and life fitness within students of all ages! Everyone wants to be successful, happy and wealthy but few know how to do it. Be among the first to experience a sneak peek at this revolutionary curriculum.



“Y. K. Kim has shown that the American dream is still a reality. He is a pioneer in the truest sense. What he has accomplished I would call a miracle if I had not seen him do it with sweat, spirit, and a keen intelligence.

“He has lived by the principals about which he writes. His action philosophy is the product of an alert, intelligent mind learning from the most demanding school of all, ‘life.’ That he has lived and learned in two worlds, East and West, makes his observations all the richer.”

--Charley Reese

Grandmaster Y.K. Kim came to America in 1977 from Korea after serving in the military. He had nothing but the American dream and a black belt. His first job in America was as a janitor. By utilizing the same skills that are taught in all of the Martial Arts World schools, he elevated himself to extreme levels of success. He is currently a multi-millionaire who has positively influenced and impacted hundreds of thousands of people.





Grandmaster Y.K. Kim has mastered many things. He is a published author, producer, writer and star of the action film, “The Miami Connection.” He is a successful entrepreneur and a highly sought after motivational speaker.



According to Master Keith Winkle, owner of the Downtown Burbank location and a long time student of Grandmaster Y.K Kim, “One will walk away from this event Saturday with hope for the new American Dream to be healthy, wealthy, and successful with leadership in their lives.”

Don’t miss your chance to meet and be motivated by Grandmaster Y.K. Kim and learn how to maximize your life. In addition, be sure to see Mayor Gary Bric receive an honorary black belt.
