NAME: Master Lee
I am passionate about teaching Taekwondo and Hapkido to children and adults. I've participated in many competitions and traveled with my university's demonstration team training and performing in a variety of locations. After all i fell in love with TaeKwonDo and other Martial Arts, i started to pursue my Bachelor's degree at the Yong-In University majoring in Taekwondo and Total Martial Arts, earning my degree in 2006. I also hold a total of 17th degrees in Korean Martial Arts Taekwondo and Hapkido and also Japanese Martial Arts Judo. I not only teach them the intricate skills of martial arts but models patience and compassion in my care for my students
ABOUT ME: She was born in Seoul, South Korea, the second of four children. She didn't start Martial Arts at a very young age because she was athletic in all kinds of sports and competed with her elementary school's track team. The coach at the school she graduated from wanted her to go to a competitive physical education school, but she didn't. At that moment, she thought she would not pursue sports in her life and that was a difficult decision to part from her team friends.
When she was 12 years old, she went to a TaeKwonDo Dojang to visit her friends which inspired her to make a goal to become a Woman Master. She began attending a Tae Kwon Do school named Chungho in Soeul, South Korea. Her Grand Master's name was Tae-Hyung Kwon. She currently holds total 17th degree in Korean Martial Arts Taekwondo and Hapkido and also Japanese Martial Arts Judo. Master Lee shares her love for TaeKwonDo with children, teenagers, parents, and families.

Pete F. Master Lee and Master Han are simply the best! They have high expectations for their students and work tirelessly to ensure that each student does the best he or she can. The program is rigorous and builds students' confidence and self-control. And just as a important--everyone has a lot of fun! LeeHan Martial Arts is a first class organization. I cannot offer a higher recommendation!.
Rebecca M. My husband and two teenage daughters started studying Taekwondo with LeeHan about 3 months ago. I would highly recommend them to anyone at any age looking to study Taekwondo. Master Lee and Master Han have such passion for teaching, and they embody the perfect combination of skills to use positivity to instill respect and focus into their students. When watching classes, I was immediately impressed when I observed the student/Master interactions. Master Lee and Master Han also get to know each student personally, as well as non-student family members (such as myself) who attend and observe. They genuinely care about each of their students. My kids have shown better respect and have more confidence, all while learning control and self-defense.
