My name is Master Frank Primm. I have been involved in martial arts for over 35 years and am honored to be a 7th degree black belt.This is my 16th year teaching in the Wilson County Schools and my 5th year teaching at Oak Hill School in Nashville.In 2015 I started a program in East Nashville, teaching at the The Church at Lockeland Springs.The program I teach is pure, traditional Taekwon-Do. I am affiliated with the International Taekwon-Do Federation (ITF) and the American Taekwon-Do Federational International (ATFI). There are few programs in this part of the country teaching true TKD as it was intended by the founder, General Choi.This is not a sport, it is an art. While my students learn how to use kicks and punches to defend themselves, they also learn about a way of life--designed to create community leaders and build a more peaceful world.
For many years I had my own studio in Lebanon, TN, and also worked at other studios in the middle TN area. However, it was always my goal to teach in the schools.This allows me to reach students who might otherwise not be able to learn TKD! Below you will find quotes from parents of my students.I also love to teach adults, so please check out our website for information about adult classes.
- TKD has been wonderful for our son! The discipline and respect taught cannot be matched. And, it’s done in such a positive atmosphere. The Primm’s are excellent with the students and families. While taking Taekwon-Do he has gained more coordination, learned self-confidence and defense, and had a wonderful time! I do not think we would have been able to enroll had it not been at the school. This is a much appreciated program that does wonders for the children.
- We originally thought our daughter’s interest in TKD would wane over time. Surprisingly, she has kept her interest and excelled primarily—I believe—due to Master Primm and his staff’s teaching abilities. They teach not only TKD, but respect for others, how to act, how to be honorable, structure, nutrition, accountability, and an overall spirit of how to live a life that betters the student and society. Personally, I’ve seen a change in my daughter’s approach to eating habits and physical fitness that I attribute to Master Primm’s class. One remarkable trait I’ve observed over and over observing his class is immense patience. He is an extraordinary teacher who cares not only about TKD but to truly teach a child how to be a better person.
- It helps students not only build physical strength, but more importantly strength of character. They are helping to instill good strong values to help each child become a confident role model for tomorrow. My son is learning invaluable self-confidence and leadership skills.
- Primm’s TKD has been pivotal to my son’s education. It has given him a goal to achieve and a reason to behave in the proper manner. He shows respect and much more control with his temper. Master and Mrs. Primm are excellent role models and I would recommend their services to anyone who would listen.
