Han Lee's Taekwondo Academy

My son, who is 7, is really, really shy and would not participate in a trial class, so I just had him sit there with me and watch. At the end of the class Han Lee came up to us and took us to his office where he talked to my son, gave him a private 10-15 min lesson and had him break a board, thus earning his first white belt! My son was ecstatic, would not stop talking about his experience and wanted to practice over and over again when we got home. I tried to sign him up for many sports/classes before and non of the teachers acknowledged and addressed my son’s extreme shyness by giving him such personal attention! We sure will be back for more classes!

This program is a great. They always have opportunity to get free classes. The teachers are nice and respectful and responsible. My brother Jacob love being in his classes and knows how to defend him self now.

My daughter loves coming to classes. Eric is an awesome instructor and the knowledge of him and Grand Master Lee is amazing. I highly recommend!

This was the first time my son ever attempted a virtual taekwondo class. The link was shared by his teacher. Unfortunately the link was the only thing that worked.nnBoth my son and I felt personally attached when we were immediately being yelled at by some man in the zoom call assertively directing us to click in the chat box to obtain the information to log onto a different zoom call with a dedicated ID and password. This was the first time we have ever logged on to the taekwondo class. It's my assumption that the man on the zoom call is the instructor, although it is a complete assumption since he did not introduce himself.nnI personally was excited when I found the link and was looking forward to getting my son not only involved for the 45 minutes of a virtual class, but to start his journey to a healthier lifestyle. After being verbally attacked, not being acknowledged as a new parent/student to the virtual taekwondo class, I will no longer be pursuing this link or this martial arts school for my son's health journey. My son has not ever taken one of these classes and needs reminders as to what each exercise is beforehand. There was no demonstration of any of the exercise beforehand. All it was simply verbal attacking students online is borderline harassment and intimidation. The man on the screen was requesting for the webcam to be adjusted so that they may see my son on the floor attempting to do the exercise. I personally have a desktop that I can not adjust to simply please the very rude man on the screen.nnI may be able to understand how this one incident may not mean much to the rest of the taekwondo school; but it has greatly impacted my son's overall well-being. In the middle of the current pandemic of this COVID-19 crisis. I believe not only my child but the children of our Aurora community deserve the greatest amount of kindness that we as a community are able to give.

My grandson Elijah is loving his taekwondo classes. It isn't easy for him but he sticks with it. He told me he hears a voice that says don't give up. That is the confidence that has been instilled as part of his training.
