World TaekWonDo Academy
Our Trainers, Coaches and Staff

Grandmaster Lee was born in Seoul, Korea he started TaeKwonDo at the age of 7. He began his training with Grandmaster Byung Jik Ro, who was one of the founding fathers of TaeKwonDo. The dojang (kwan) was Sang Moo Kwan. Grandmaster Lee was sent to the United States by the Korean government to help educate people about TaeKwonDo. With all his hard work and efforts, Grandmaster Lee brought over many master instructors from Korea to Minnesota. TaeKwonDo in Minnesota wouldn't exist without the help and dedication of Grandmaster Lee.
