Owner and headmaster of Master Lee’s USK TKD. 

Grand Master Lee began his journey in Taekwondo at a young age in his hometown of Seoul, South Korea. Through years of dedication, discipline, and passion, he has built a respected reputation not only in South Korea but across the globe.

He attended the prestigious Yong-in University in Seoul, where he joined the university’s elite Taekwondo exhibition team. Through rigorous training and outstanding performance, he rose to become team captain. Grand Master Lee graduated with a degree in Physical Education and holds a teaching license for elementary and middle school education in South Korea.

Following his university career, Grand Master Lee completed his mandatory military service. During this time, he earned the title of Taekwondo Master and was entrusted with training a special strike troop within the 15th Army Division of the South Korean military—an honor that reflects both his technical mastery and leadership.

After completing his service, he continued to excel competitively. He competed in the World Taekwondo Championships in 1998 and 1999, earning the title of World Champion. He went on to dominate at the national level in Korea, winning three consecutive national championships.
In 1998, Grand Master Lee successfully auditioned for the renowned South Korean National Demonstration Team, a group known worldwide for showcasing elite Taekwondo skills and acrobatic performances.
In 2000, he was invited to the United States to coach the New England Junior Olympic Team in Massachusetts, further expanding his influence and sharing his expertise internationally.

Grand Master Lee holds a 7th Dan black belt certified by Kukkiwon, the official governing body of Taekwondo. He is also a licensed Taekwondo referee and has earned black belts in Judo, Gumdo (Korean swordsmanship), and Hapkido—demonstrating his well-rounded martial arts mastery.

“When I was a child, I began my  journey in Taekwondo and the positive impact it had on my life was remarkable. It has always been my dream to open my own school and pass on the skills, knowledge, and inspiration that Taekwondo has given to me. With the fulfilment of that dream, I now proudly serve the Angleton community and feel an overwhelming sense of honor and pride when I see our students grow into happier, healthier, more confident children, teens, and adults!”
