From the reviews
I started attending J Lee Taekwondo when I was eight years old. I loved it so much that I continued on to become an instructor at the school. Although I am no longer working there, I could not recommend a studio more highly. Grand Master Lee and Master Park are two of the kindest people I have ever met.
J Lee Tae Kwon Do it's great!! Teaching kids great discipline and staying active. Makes the class fun for the kids. Non stop fun for the kids. Daughter just started and she loves it.
Fantastic martial arts school. I had tried a few for my kids and am a black belt in TKD also. Solid program with kind, enthusiastic, and dedicated instructors that still manage to teach discipline. Master Park is the best. It has been great for both my daughter and son.
Hi, this place is an amazing Taekwondo place. I have learned many important things from this place like self control and to never give up. This saying, never give up has encouraged me in many things and has made my life super successful! I totally recommend this place!
New to taekwondo? Start at J Lee Tae Kwon Do
J Lee Tae Kwon Do comes up as a beginner-friendly school — noted on their own site. If you've never trained or set foot in a dojang, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and instructors scale the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable schools build fundamentals (stances, blocks, kicks, and basic forms) for weeks, sparring eases in gradually and with gear on, and instructors keep it controlled and safe. Third, all ages and all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most schools are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first taekwondo class at J Lee Tae Kwon Do
Nervous about walking into a taekwondo school for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good instructors expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic stances, blocks, and kicks with a partner or on pads — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: loose athletic wear you can move in (or a dobok if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the floor. What to bring: water and a positive attitude — many schools lend a loaner dobok for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll get your own dobok and belt, and sparring gear (mouthguard, headgear, and guards) once you begin sparring. Sparring eases in gradually, once your fundamentals and forms are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the instructor. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
