Lee’s Martial Arts Programs

Traditional Korean Martial Arts of Taekwondo (TKD) and Hapkido

Taekwondo is divided in two Programs (Youth and Adult) each with two Levels (Beginner and Advanced) and Little Tigers

  • Beginners Program is white to blue belts and meet M-F 5:10-5:55pm
  • Advanced Program is blue to black belts and meet M-F 6:00-6:55pm
  • We also have a few Open TKD classes for all ranks to train together.

Youth Program age 7-14 years old

Lee’s Youth Program includes our younger students just starting out in Tae Kwon-do.  This structured program allows students to progress at their own rate.  Along with the basics of martial arts; kicking, punching, and forms, Lee’s students will learn self-discipline, balance, body control, focus, setting and achieving goals, as well as basic fitness.

The standard ranking system is used as all new students start as a white belt and progress through the colored belt system to eventually earn a Youth black belt.  Youth Program belts have both striped (half belts) and solid belts.  Youth black belts are transitioned into our Adult Program to continue their martial arts journey to adult black belt and beyond.

Beginner TKD Classes meet Mon-Fri from 5:10-5:55pm.

Adult Program 14 years old and up

Lee’s Adult Program is the next step for those completing the Youth Program but also for the more mature student just beginning in the Martial Arts.  For the 14-17 year old students, we continue incrementally teaching Tae Kwon-do and work towards improving the basics as always but also continuing to learn more challenging techniques.

Those 18 and older, with approval from GM Cecil, can also learn Hapkido, which is a self-defense oriented martial art.  In Hapkido, the student will learn how to safely fall, roll, escape, off balance an opponent, apply joint locks and joint manipulation as well as throwing and submission techniques.  Hapkido teaches the principles of flow, circle, and harmony.  These principles are applied to learn potent self-defense techniques.

Advanced TKD classes meet:  Tues through Fri from 6:00-6:55pm.

Little Tigers ages 4-7 years old

Lee’s Little Tigers Program is an age-appropriate class introducing students to the basics of martial arts.  At Lee’s we teach the Korean art of Tae Kwon-do.  A martial art is far more than just kicks, punches, and throws.  It incorporates every aspect of the individual.  Once students have earned a high rank, they are expected to be able to control both their mind and body.  This includes having self-control of their behavior as well as physical techniques.

For this reason, our Little Tigers class focuses on respecting oneself and others, improving balance, achieving body control, increasing attention span, and learning martial arts’ specific techniques.  Instructor to Student ratio is maintained at 5:1 to ensure proper attention is given to each student.

Classe Schedule:

Tues/Thur – Group A:  5:00-5:25pm and Group B:  530-5:55pm

Sat – Group A:  12:00-12:25pm and Group B:  12:30-12:55pm

At the age of 7 years old students will gradually begin the transition to our Youth Program.

YMCA Sessions for ages 7-14 years old 

If our schedule or location doesn’t fit yours, then we also teach 6-week sessions at the Monroe County YMCA South January through May and September through November each year.  GM Lewis oversees these sessions, but the sessions are coordinated and run through the YMCA, so you will have to register with the YMCA.  If you are a YMCA member, you get a discount.  If not, you can still participate at a higher fee.  Check out the session times here:  YMCA Martial Arts Link

YMCA Sessions meet Tue and Thur from 6:30-7:15pm.

Sessions start in the Fall and are offered until the end of Spring.  We also offer a special Summer session at Lee’s from June-August, see the Youth Schedule above.
