J.K. Lee Black Belt Academy

Useful? +0

My daughter was having such a hard time with finding things she was good at mainly due to having borderline weight issues. She did not have a lot of stamina for sports like soccer, and she was born so solid, like her dad, that she wasn't very limber either so gymnastics were out too. She wasn't very graceful. We could tell she was sad and didn't feel like she fit anywhere. Then she went to a JK Lee outing for Brownies, and her leader approached me about how much she had gotten into doing Tae Kwon Do. We went in to have her work with the instructor, and she was awesome! For a 7 1/2 year old kid who didn't seem too athletic in any way, she did great! We signed her up immediately! Now my daughter is almost a high red belt. (Black belt within the next year.) She is on the Demo and Leadership teams. She has been in the sport for about a year and a half and has turned into a completely different child. She is very athletic. She has learned to be light on her feet and has an awesome positive attitude. She no longer feels left out or follows her friends. They follow her, and she, so I've been told by many of her friends' parents, is a great kid to follow. Thank you JK Lee! You have really changed our lives for the better!
