Absolutely phenomenal experience with our two sons in USMAC the past two years. We are a military family moving and will dearly miss Grand Master Young - Hak Lee and the entire staff of true professionals. This was our first experience with any martial art let alone Tae Kwon Do. We came to USMAC based on their reputation as one of the best schools of its kind in WA state. They have met or exceeded our expectations in many ways. What we like the most about USMAC is the family atmosphere where the student, instructor and parent are all involved in helping shape young leaders of character. They use an integrated approach to building the mind body and indomitable spirit. My wife and I have noticed the difference in our sons' physical ability in the technical aspects of the sport but more importantly their confidence composure and values exhibited in their daily attitudes and behaviors. I believe this is laying a solid foundation that we will continue to build upon through black belt and beyond. Our next Do Jang will have a tough act to follow indeed! read more

My 7 year old daughter and 14 year old son attend classes at US Martial Arts Center in Tumwater. I signed them up for the free introductory classes and it turns out they love it! They go twice a week and they are always excited to go and to be there. I was a little hesitant about my tiny girl being in Martial Arts class but these classes are great. The instructors know thier stuff, watch out for all the kids, and know what they are doing. The Masters know each kid by name, even. I also like that there are multiple days offered, so you can fit your classes to your schedule. The Masters are patient and pay attention to every child, helping them and encouraging them. The other students- also kids- are all well behaved and no one is running around like a crazy tiny person doing improv martial arts. It's all structured and there is no fooling around or goofing off. I would recommend that you give this a try, or sign up your kids. Especially if you can get in for a free class to try it out. read more

I have been attending classes at the West Olympia USMAC since December 2011. I chose Taekwondo because it provides both a physical and a mental outlet. Master Lee and his staff are excellent with their instruction; they are positive and encouraging. I always leave class feeling better than when I arrived. The atmosphere is always respectful. I enjoy interacting with my fellow students, the class schedules are very flexible and the content of classes varies which keeps learnng Taekwondo interesting and enjoyable. I am so much healthier than I was a year ago, Taekwondo is definitely a part of my lifestyle now. Thank you Master Lee and all my instructors for all your hard work on our behalf. read more

My experience with US Martial Arts Center has been excellent. They are more than teaching you to kick and punch, they focus on the whole person. My children have further developed their confidence and self-esteem. The instructors and Masters treat all with the highest level of respect and expect the same in return. My husband has started and is getting a great work out while being side by side with the kids. USMAC is family run and is family focused. The three major parts for the student is, home, school, and taekwondo.USMAC wants to train the students for success at all three. There has never been any pressure to do anything, but be better than before. read more

In this review I wanted to express gratitude to our amazing students and professional staff who make up the U.S. Martial Arts Center (USMAC) Family! Thank you and see everyone in class! read more

We love USMAC! My son and a couple of his friends have been taking classes at the US Martial Arts Center for over 3 years and have nearly earned their black belts. We love their schedule, the convenient location and best of all the instructors are caring, firm and knowledgeable about their sport. We especially like their emphasis on respect and integrity as well as the importance of family and education. My son's confidence in himself has increased thanks to the influence of Master Lee and his other instructors. This has been a great physical and social outlet for my son. read more

We are so pleased that the philosophical foundations of the U.S. Martial Arts Center reflect our family's ethical belief and value systems. We have not only seen the benefits of the program in our son at home, but also in his social, emotional, physical, and academic well-being and performance in and away from school. As a local educator, I also witness the many benefits of USMAC's comprehensive, value-based training in many of my students on a daily basis. Master Lee, thank you for the experiences that are enriching our son's life. read more

My son has been with USMAC for two years now and we're hoping he can stick with it for at least another three or longer because nothing of value comes quickly. In his two years he has gained confidence and skill. He's not very competitive in nature and these classes and tournaments have made him tougher. The best part I like about the program though is that it teaches respect and discipline--two skills lacking in most educational programs today. Thanks USMAC! read more
