Coach Kim started archery in 1967 when archery was first introduced to Korea. In 1971 he became the first Korean archery coach, he then studied and further developed archery techniques for archers. He established the fundamentals of Korean archery by passing on archery know-how to Korean coaches and athletes from 1983 to 1986, nurturing the first gold and bronze medals at the 1984 LA Olympics and several world records.
From 1989 to 1994, he led the Taiwanese national team to a world class standard. For 12 years, since 2002, as elected Coach of the Committee of the World Archery Federation, he has conducted seminars, coached archers across the world and participated in developing a coaching manual. Coach Kim has provided opportunities to several archery coaches and archers across the world by publishing the Kim, Hyung-tak archery book, current Korean archers follow this coaching manual which was published by Korea Archery Association in 2012.
In 2004, he opened Kim, Hyung-Tak Archery School, and since then over 2000 archers from 40 countries have trained at this training center, and many archers have gained successful results at Olympics and World Championships.
At present, many archers and teams are training at coach Kim’straining center. He participated in the 2015 Summer Universiade as a compound coach of Korean national team, and nurtured 3 gold medals at individual, team and mixed team events. He popularized new compound techniques to Korea which has helped propel Korea to be top of the world rapidly. Coach Kim utilizes the dart fish video programme to analyze the technique of archers accurately so that they can gain better results in a shorter time frame.
Archery Guyana wishes Mr. Robert Singh success at this seminar. This exposure will assist in developing both Robert Singh and the sport of archery in Guyana. This also forms part of his preparations for the Beginners/Developmental Competition being hosted in Santo Domingo in June 2019.
