I wish I could give CK Lee 6 stars! We have been coming for over a year, and it has been the best place for my son. The supportive instructors and dedicated staff make every interaction positive. There is no end to great role models

Both of my kids have done taekwondo here, and it has been such a positive experience. The instructors are wonderful with kids of all ages—whether it’s helping the smallest and shyest kids build confidence or challenging the older kids to keep growing. They strike a great balance of encouragement, discipline, and fun. Highly recommend!

This place is absolutely fantastic! The people, the teaching/training and the very vibe is wonderful! They are patient, understanding and welcoming to everyone, those with absolutely no experience to those who already have a black belt. There is so much to learn!Was going through a challenging phase of my life, and joining this academy has made the turbulent sails more bearable. The positive thoughts, values and energy is a beautiful stimulant to looking forward towards life rather than being swallowed with the thoughts of a bleak future! All in all, a beautiful experience
