We had our sons birthday party here. For $250 bucks we had 15 kids, they taught them Tae Kwon do basics and had obstacles for them to do. They have an area for cake and gifts. For $250 and 1.5 hours of entertainment, no clean up and tired kids after...worth every penny.

I have attended a lot of taekwondo schools, and run a number of them. When my children needed to have a structured martial arts school with other people, I was very careful with choosing JK Lee's. They have a very friendly and family-friendly environment, with great and enthusiastic instructors. They have multiple locations, but lake country in Sussex is the choice for my kids. They are taught confidence, leadership, physical control, and how to diffuse situations without using violence. They are also taught a lot of boxing, stick fighting, controlled sparring, and self-defense moves along with the normal kicking combinations for taekwondo. It is an excellent mix of multiple martial arts to supplement taekwondo taught at the school. It has many classes and options for classes during the week, you're not forced to go to just one, there are many different times and days available, which is great for a parent's hectic schedule. It also is a family, the taekwondo family that is at all of the locations is tighter and more encouraging than many churches I've been to. This is a great school, a great place for all belt levels and skill levels to learn instead of being used as a punching bag, and this is a great bang for your buck, you learn so much in so many disciplines that you definitely feel like you're getting a deal for your membership. As an update, 3 years later, my three children are now about to test for and possibly earn their black belts. They are more confident, more focused, and they are acting a bit like the leaders they are being trained to be. They will not be stopping at Black belt, because they love it and all of us can see the effect this training having on them. I highly recommend this set of schools, and this school particularly!

I have trained with my two sons for over ten years at JK Lee Lake Country. Mr. Jin Lee and his wonderful family have created an atmosphere in which classmates have become like a second family, and my boys have grown into confident, caring, responsible adults and have made lifelong friends. I can't imagine a better place to undertake a martial arts journey.

My family an I have been attending J K Lee Lake Country for almost 5 years now. It has been a wonderful experience that I would recommend to anyone, child or adult! The atmosphere is warm, encouraging, and best of all fun. Yet, at the same time, the instructors expect and encourage you to do your best and grow, no matter where you start. You will reach potential you didn’t know you had! The training addresses improvement in the areas of general health, strength, speed, flexibility, and of course, self defense. Each instructor and student is motivated to see you succeed!

I'm very pleased with the experience my two children are having. I've never had a martial arts background but after seeing how JK Lee handles and teaches my kids about respect and discipline I'm glad we made the push to consider them for my children. All the instructors appear to be happy to there. I also am impressed with how well and how quickly the instructors took to memorizing each students names. Even with occasional larger class sizes I've never felt any kids let alone my own have a lack of individual attention from the instructors.
