From the reviews
I started training with grandmaster Lee in 1988. I helped him build his 2nd school on Willamette St in 1991-92. I Fell off a ladder and broke my back in 1991. After surgery, and months on my back, master Lee came to my house, and made me walk... "pushed" me...
I have trained with with many Taekwondo Masters before moving to Eugene, OR. I have even trained with some of the Grand Masters in Korea and I can tell you with certainty Great Grand Master Lee (who is a 9th Degree Black Belt, of which there are only about 100 in the world) stands above the rest!!
I love the family atmosphere here and that their forms are up to date with Kukkiwon in Korea. I love the structure of instruction and also that you can attend as many classes as you have endurance for. It's really great that there are kids-only classes, but kids can also attend classes with their parents.
I love master lee. He taught me and my twin sister in middle school. I wore the wrong pants 👖 and they ripped. I visited his dojo later and loved watching 👀 him train the younger kids. I was so excited on the way out I tried a high kick and landed on my butt. He laughed and said keep practicing.
New to taekwondo? Start at US Taekwondo College
US Taekwondo College 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 US Taekwondo College
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.
