DUNDEE KIM

Initially learning the art of boxing to protect himself from bullies, Dundee Kim eventually harnessed his skills to become a two-time amateur boxing champion in South Korea. From there he migrated to Australia to become the Associate Director of International Relations, and then the Regional Director of International Relations at James Cook University. He eventually became the founder of Dundee's Boxing & Fitness gym in Brisbane.

Throughout his lifetime, Dundee has helped countless clients become the best they can be through weight loss, improvements in health and fitness, successes in fitness model competitions and boxing tournaments, confidence building, life coaching and much more. Further, he has actively helped clients improve issues with diabetes, blood clots, blood pressure and other health related issues.

He also helps children overcome issues with dementia, concentration and ADHD by strengthening their focus, direction and drive.

Dundee believes that the concept of “training” just isn’t about physical training – it’s about motivation, persistence, education, encouragement, loyalty, growth and trust. He believes that the most effective training can only be achieved with the right coach – even the world’s greatest athletes have coaches. Through the right training, a person is able to achieve goals they never would have imagined.
