Generously shared their wisdom and knowledge, Grandmaster James Lim founded Advanced TaeKwon-Do International (ATI) to further enhance the technical competency of licensed instructors and to promote the martial skills and philosophy embedded in the art by Gen Choi Hong Hi.
Grandmaster James Lim, a 9th Degree Black Belt, began his TaeKwon-Do journey in 1965 under the direct supervision of Pioneering Grandmaster of TaeKwon-Do Choi Chang Keun (CK Choi) in Malaysia. Over the years, he has trained under various renowned Grandmasters and has dedicated his life to promoting and teaching ITF TaeKwon-Do around the world. Grandmaster Lim's efforts eventually led to the formation of ATI, where he now serves as the President, offering personal guidance to TaeKwon-Do students and assisting member schools in growing their businesses and membership.

With a passion for the art and a wealth of experience, he is a pivotal figure in the history of TaeKwon-Do and an inspiration to all who love the art.
