Master Lee and Master Amy are amazing! Taeknowdo has been a life changing experience for my daughter. I couldn't be more happier. I am forever grateful to them. read more

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! read more

Me and my family had so much fun learning taekwondo, we were doing the 2 month summer program, and we will be learning more of taekwondo. Master Lee and Master Amy are so helpful to us and teach us so much. I am so happy to be learning the art of taekwondo, I recommend this place very much! read more

The instructors are amazing . They are very patient and take time with each and every child. My son Joshua just turned 4 in July and he absolutely loves coming to class . I am blown away by how much he has learned in only two classes. They focus a lot on positive values and the children can even earn stars for showing good responsibility by doing their chores and reading at home. I would definitely recommend classes here . read more

We are so happy our sons are under the tutelage of Master Lee. He is so kind and caring while also being firm and teaching the forms and philosophy behind Taekwondo. Our sons have learned respect and discipline over the past few years, and have also improved in their confidence, and of course physical fitness. We highly recommend USTT and cannot say enough great things about Master Lee and Miss Amy! read more

Great school. They emphasize the importance of discipline and respect. Very important values to impart on your children especially while they're young. read more

This place is AWESOME! I moved to Palm Springs just under four months ago having had Taekwondo experience. I was already a student at another academy in Los Angeles, so I had to search the Palm Springs area to find a good school where I could continue my studies. This was the third school I tested out, but I knew after the free workout, this was the place for me. Master Lee and Mrs. Amy are the best. Those two are very skilled and helpful. They really know their stuff. And they take the time to break down the difficult parts (ie. advanced kicks, punches, hand orientation, etc.) They really want you to succeed too. Which helps your confidence. Be prepared to sweat your butt off. read more

Check out this dojang if you and/or kids are interested in Taekwondo. It is so much more than just the martial arts. Master Lee is a kind but firm instructor and the kids and parents just love the way he teaches. You learn to focus and develop confidence, developing a sense of self-esteem and pride in our accomplishments. He emphasizes respect for family, fellow students, and a deep respect for self. Most importantly, Master Lee makes it all fun. He encourages his students to do well in school and in their other extracurricular activities. He also rewards the students with verbal praise, stripes for their belts, stars, and trophies for their outside reading, homework and schoolwork (even report cards). He teaches them to be disciplined yet kind towards themselves and others. Our daughter has been with Master Lee for the past 3 years now and thriving. She's just loving it there! Thank you Master Lee! read more

I have been training at USTT PD for almost 5 years and received my second and third degree black belts there. I now am an assistant instructor along with my younger sister, and mother who is a full instructor. Master Lee is a talented and passionate teacher who has created a positive and beneficial learning environment for kids, teens, and adults alike. The studio has become a home to me and the other students are my family. Tae Kwon Do itself has given me a stronger and more present sense of integrity and discipline, in addition to building my endurance and other physical capabilities; Master Lee, in turn, has taught me to respect each individual I come across, and has been endlessly patient and helpful in improving my techniques and knowledge of martial arts. read more

It's a great workout and Master Lee is a very caring and respectful instructor. He really knows he's stuff and is a 5th 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. read more

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 read more

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!! read more
