Our martial arts Shoreview instructors and instructor assistants are all required to complete an intensive martial arts leadership training prior to teaching or assisting in the classroom. During these martial arts training classes, the focus is on more than just teaching martial arts skills. Instructors also learn how to work with all students, tailoring their martial arts teaching methods to fit the individual child. Emphasis is put on encouragement and positive correction.

More About Our Shoreview Martial Arts Instructors

Our martial arts instructors are committed to teaching the physical skills of martial arts while applying attitude-shaping exercises aimed at bringing out the best character and physical potential in each student. Through weekly martial arts training, instructors advance their own martial art and educational knowledge to become even more effective martial arts teachers.

The Shoreview Martial Arts instructors are required to maintain their personal level of martial arts knowledge. They are expected to take class on a regular basis and test at least once per year.


Our Shoreview Martial Arts staff at Lee's Champion Taekwondo Academy looks forward to working with you.

 
"Lee's Champion Taekwondo Academy is a place that I respect. I always bow before I go in. Master Yong Hyeok Lee and the Instructors make me feel like a winner. And they make me laugh. Taekwondo wouldn't same without them. They make no one feel bad or like a loser. I feel like a winner when I'm there and when I can do Taekwondo."
