GRANDMASTER MOO YONG LEE
Kukkiwon 9th Dan – World Taekwondo Federation
Grandmaster Moo Yong Lee is well-known and highly regarded by the worldwide Taekwondo community. He is recognized by his fellow instructors as a man of great integrity and dedication. One of the elite individuals who hold the rank of 9th degree Black Belt (Kukkiwon), Moo Yong Lee is one of the very few Grandmasters of Taekwondo residing in the United States. He was the president of the United States Taekwondo Union (USTU) in 1985-1986 and is the current president of the United States Taekwondo Instructors Union (USTIU).
He began his study in Korea at an early age. Today, over fifty years later, he is widely acknowledged as one of the foremost martial artists in the world. Grandmaster Lee still humbly considers himself to be a student of his beloved art. Teaching with kindness and humor at his Hartford, Connecticut school, this busy instructor finds time to give each of his students his individual attention and guidance. Training under Grandmaster Lee's direction proceeds in a no-nonsense atmosphere of maximum effort and mutual respect. A natural leader through his own example of total commitment and hard work, those students fortunate enough to study with Grandmaster Lee agree that the value of his instruction extends far beyond the training hall.
