life. He diligently practiced martial art from a young age and began teaching as a teen. He was a scholar, educator, and principal of a technical high school. Grand Master Kim founded the forerunner to The Peace School in 1953 and expanded it with branches throughout South Korea by the 1960s. In all of his schools, meditation and yoga were taught alongside Traditional Taekwondo, which he knew to be an art of deep peace. Grand Master Kim emphasized that every human being has the ability, responsibility and mission to create peace for themselves and the world. He decided to leave his homeland and bring his unique ideas for peacemaking to the United States. In his mind, the best chance for global peace would be for peace to begin in the U.S., a place comprised of all races, languages and cultures. He moved with his family to Chicago in 1972 and founded The Peace School. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f079791a4529f7b35d62e23/1597808259167-GUP43IG1XA575P0IPG37/image-asset.jpeg Founder - For decades, Grand Master Kim did a vast amount of research and hours of meditation every day. He was seeking a method that could provide the life-changing benefits of meditation and would be easy for people in the busy modern world to practice. It finally came to him, a simple method he called Peace Breathing: inhale world, exhale peace. Another one of his ideas came to fruition in 1978 when our Mayor established the annual observance of Peace Day in Chicago thanks to Grand Master Kim’s urging. Grand Master Kim had a vision of Chicago becoming a Model City of Peace for the world to follow and did everything in his power to move this vision forward. https://www.peaceschool.org/peace-breathing-book daily 0.75 2020-09-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f079791a4529f7b35d62e23/1597803008392-7Z6FBS4VU3N8KMUMHL3D/book-cover.jpg Book - Taken from talks given by Master Charles Kim at The Peace School, this book’s 31 chapters offer practical yet profound insight for becoming a person of peace amid the many issues we face in today’s world.

He began sitting in on his parents’ morning meditations when he was in elementary school and has continued daily meditation practice throughout his life. Weak and in poor health as a child, he joined his father’s yoga classes at an early age and later was strong enough to begin the intensive Traditional Taekwondo training. Master Kim learned to reach beyond his physical power to persevere through the rigorous training with men twice his size. By the time he was in his early teens, Master Kim was perhaps the youngest martial art instructor of his time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f079791a4529f7b35d62e23/1598978667625-H1L6MH2SNS5CCPOFONVX/kim-peace-day.jpg President - Master Kim was in high school when his family moved from South Korea to Chicago in 1972. He helped his father set up and run The Peace School, teaching classes and handling the organizational duties. He worked side by side with his father and helped to develop and conduct a wide variety of programs and activities until Grand Master Kim’s death in 1999. Master Kim has served as the organization’s president since that time and continues to develop innovative programs for peace. An engaging and intuitive speaker, Master Kim has a wonderful gift for storytelling and explaining complex concepts through easy to understand examples. A collection of his talks appear in his book, Peace Breathing: Lessons on Achieving Peace in Everyday Life. Master Kim is committed to helping all human beings live in peace and harmony, with each other and with all living things. https://www.peaceschool.org/book-excerpt daily 0.75 2020-08-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f079791a4529f7b35d62e23/1597938293135-A5T9U49SM11IONMSI7W2/book-cover.jpg Book Excerpt https://www.peaceschool.org/community daily 0.75 2020-09-01 https://www.peaceschool.org/privacy-policy daily 0.75 2020-09-01 https://www.peaceschool.org/terms-of-use daily 0.75 2020-09-01 https://www.peaceschool.org/about-peace-day daily 0.75 2025-08-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f079791a4529f7b35d62e23/1700078487670-LPFIDWLEE5NCJ3UVB4RD/230918+Peace+Day-800+resize.jpg https://www.peaceschool.org/peace-day-in-schools daily 0.75 2025-09-03 https://www.peaceschool.org/gallery-1 daily 0.75 2025-08-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847722611-SV945DT7BTN3H0QJH0FY/20140301_Trade-151_0124-copy.jpg Gallery 1 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847722352-KE0T070VO49ST8R3HN0Y/20140228_Trade+151_0046.jpg Gallery 1 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847720867-RDAE893FXFXK3PHOQ7JQ/Aro+Ha_0380.jpg Gallery 1 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847721684-YTD6Q5S75A0ZA9UW5PMN/Aro+Ha_0010.jpg Gallery 1 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847722018-8TCT6PT455LE207HT5NA/Aro+Ha_0428.jpg Gallery 1 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847721315-N2H1U9IQOPV7U46ZTICY/Aro+Ha_0393.jpg Gallery 1
