“My granddaughter has been going here since last fall. Will Brown is very good with the kids. He keeps their attention, but doesn’t hesitate to correct when they start getting out of control. I am very surprised at how fast my granddaughter has learned this. In a short period of time she has moved up several belts”
“Having been a student at Lee's Champion Taekwondo Academy for three years now, I can confidently say it is the premier place for training in the area. The school maintains a professional and disciplined environment that pushes you to your limits while remaining welcoming to all skill levels. Over the years, I’ve seen firsthand how the instructors balance rigorous physical training with essential life lessons like perseverance and respect.
One of the standout features that has really helped my progression is the availability of private classes. These sessions allow for a level of technical refinement that you just can't get in a group setting. It’s also a unique privilege to occasionally train with Master Brandon H. Lee. Even with his success as a martial arts star and actor, his sessions are incredibly grounded and focused on high-level precision, which has been a major highlight of my time here.
I will be honest: this academy is quite expensive. Between the standard tuition, testing fees, and the added cost of private lessons, it is a significant financial commitment compared to other schools. However, after three years, I firmly believe you get what you pay for. The quality of the facilities, the low student-to-teacher ratio, and the chance to learn from world-class talent justify the premium price.
Ultimately, the growth I've experienced in both my physical skills and my personal confidence makes every cent worth it. If you are serious about martial arts and want the absolute best instruction available, this is the place to be. It is an investment in yourself that pays off every time you step onto the mat.”
“I’ve been training martial arts around 15 years and have trained at a lot of different gyms. This gym is my favorite and the only one I’ve stuck with long term. They just teach such solid bjj and striking. Plus Great people and instructors. Like that Bodie guy. One thing I noticed after stepping away from martial arts for a couple years and then returning, Was I basically forgot all the sporty stuff that I learned from the other gyms. But what I learned from the warriors cove stuck with me.”
