From the reviews

I take classes at Master Lee’s and I highly recommend it. Between Master Lee and his assistant Mr. Santiago, I feel like they are always paying attention to me and helping me grow. They understand my taekwondo goals and assist me in achieving them.

★★★★★ — Audrey, Mar 2026

We just took our 6 (almost 7) year old to meet Master Lee, and our experience exceeded our expectations! Master Lee was incredibly kind and patient. We are all excited to continue working with Master Lee and can’t wait to see all the ways our little one grows. Jennie was also very helpful and kind.

★★★★★ — Christina, May 2025

We are so grateful to have found this place for our son to experience Taekwondo for the first time. He learned so much and gained a lot of confidence from Master Lee. The studio is brand new with top notch equipment, and it is an incredibly clean, positive and welcoming environment.

New to taekwondo? Start at Master Lee's Academy of Taekwondo

Master Lee's Academy of Taekwondo comes up as a beginner-friendly school, going by their listing and students’ reviews. 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 Master Lee's Academy of Taekwondo

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.

Taekwondo is a martial art and a contact sport. Ease in, listen to your instructors, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
