As the parent of a student, I give this school my highest recommendation. We chose Master Lee's…read moreschool for our daughter since his program is the only Kukkiwon and World Taekwondo certified school in the Myrtle Beach area (governing body of Olympic competitions). After seeing the legitimacy, skill, and character of Master Lee during my daughters training, it motivated me to start classes too--after a long read from martial arts. It has been great to see my daughter gain self-confidence, get physical activity away from electronics, learn martial arts, and generally have "her thing" and "her sport". Adults of all fitness levels can get an appropriate workout, learn martial arts skills, and have a blast too. I am having fun, feel great and dropped two pants sizes!

This place recently opened on Raeford Road near Cliffdale in the new plaza located beside Tractor…read moreSupply Company. I took my son in to ask about age ranges they accept and was greeted by a very kind and friendly man. He talked to my 3 year old for a few minutes and was very welcoming. He explained how it all works which follows: $32 gets you one private session which is an assessment and two group classes. Your child also gets a Gi (uniform) included in this price which makes it a pretty good deal. The assessment went really well and we have our two group classes still to decide, but it's a pretty obvious decision. If you and your child decide to take the plunge, there is a 1 year contract you must sign and I believe it's $100/month, but not quite sure though. The owner/instructor is incredibly good with children and had my son warmed up to him and laughing hard and following instruction really well during the assessment. This alone was enough to sell me on the place, but their structure of working on concentration, fitness, discipline, then finally once everything else is out of the way, you being technique.

I was looking for a martial arts schools while I was stationed within the area. I came and checked…read morethis school out and I ended up staying the entire time until I moved. Master Lewis is a great instructor and is very practical when it comes to self defense. Rather than several Mcdojos in the area, he's a hands on instructor and still actively competes. He's has great credentials in the martial arts community and his students go on to win national competitions. I had some prior martial arts experience beforehand and I still learned a lot from him and his senior students. I highly recommend for anyone that's looking for a martial arts school for themselves or their children.
