THE JIMMY KIM INVITATIONAL

The first JKI was held in 1990 to commemorate Jimmy Kim's Olympic victory in the 1988 Seoul Olympic Games.

Many young athletes who have participated in this championship have successfully transitioned into members of the US National Team.  The reputation of the JKI has attracted athletes from all over the country and even from far away as Mexico, Canada and Tahiti.  JKI has also had the honor to host U.S. Olympic athletes as well as Olympians from other countries.

The competition quality at JKI attracts a high rate of participation from black belt athletes from across the country.  Black belt competitors comprised more than 30% of total competitors in 2007.
