US Taekwondo Team, Palm Desert School

Great master and instructors. Master Lee and his staff have passion for taekwondo and kids! It’s not just about teaching a child a sport but about teaching a child to reach deep within and be the best they can be. Not just in kicking and punching, but in respect, focus, setting life goals, teamwork… my list could go on and on. The instructors are the best at keeping it fun, being organized and in gaining respect from their students. My son has always been a good kid; obedient, respectful but since being at USTT Palm Desert he has achieved new levels of excellence. If you are looking for a place for your child to learn martial arts, this is the best place to be!

It’s a great workout and Master Lee is a very caring and respectful instructor. He really knows he’s stuff and is a 5^th degree black belt. Students here are respectful and friendly and it’s a great environment to run marital arts and workout at the same time. We’ve been going over an year and it’s always a great workout.

Yay!!! I just got back from my first class! It was so much fun! Wow! What a workout! The teenagers & young adults were very respectful… You know how some of the younger generation can be pretty snarky, these fellow students were not that way at all! They’re pretty cool! (Update: I’ve been to several classes already & they seem to keep things moving & I’m learning a lot! And sweating alot! Haha…)
I could tell that Master Lee has taught them well about respecting self & others! It shows & was so refreshing to see such respect & kindness from the instructor & other students. I was definitely the newest in the class but kept up pretty well. There were a few times that I got tired & had to pause a little. That’s ok… I didn’t get any stink eye… Hahaha o. O
Mostly everyone was so flexible & agile! I can’t wait to get there too! Who couldn’t use more flexibility!!! =)
The week before class, I dropped by & saw Master Lee & another instructor leading the little kids in class. That was great to see! As I waited, I also sat next to a nice lady & she told me how beneficial Taekwondo has been for her son & husband & their family. I can see what she means by just taking one class! Once that class was over, I was promptly met by Master Lee & we briefly discussed the program & costs & such. I paid & received a uniform. Then I showed up early for class… Let’s do this again!
Some info you’ll need to know if you’re a first timer:
Shoes aren’t used during class, you’ll take them off before you get on the mat & store them in a cubbyhole. I wore flip flops for ease of putting on/​off.
You can bring water… I did & good thing! I found it necessary! You’ll sweat up a storm & need to rehydrate.
Bring a towel, you’re gonna sweat a ALOT!
Be early, Keep your nails cut short, Wear a clean uniform & Master Lee will guide you through the rest! It is a warm & friendly environment.
Gamsahabnida USTT!

Awesome!!! Master Lee is a fantastic instructor. … he is kind, patient, and extremely talented… he teaches so much more than Taekwondo/​self defense. … courtesy, respect, and discipline. …my son has transformed completely. … he looks forward to going every week
