Congratulations and good luck All!

At Lee’s Martial Arts, we offer many options for all to have fun, get in shape, and practice martial arts.

We have classes starting as young as 4 years old, which is our Little Tigers Program.

Our Youth Taekwondo Program is for the 7-14 year old student.

Then, for those 14 and older we have Adult Taekwondo, Sparring, Teen Hapkido, Modern Arnis and Balintawak and Gracie Jiu Jitsu (GJJ).

For those 18 and older, in addition to those above we also offer Hapkido.

On 24 January 2026, we will be restarting at Lesson 1 in the GJJ Combatives Program at our Lee’s Gracie Garage. This would be a great time to join us as we go through the 36 core techniques of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) this year. This is a beginner program for adults and is designed for basic self-defense using BJJ. This is an excellent companion art to our Hapkido program. Take a look here if interested, then book a sesson here for free.

All,

Lee’s classes are canceled for Mon, 26 January 2026.

As more inclement weather approaches this season, remember:  Our rule of thumb is if MCCSC cancels classes, we do also.

In August 2025, we are expanding our Arnis classes to include a Monday night class 630-8pm and Friday night class 7-830pm. Your instructor will be Mr. Michael Craig a Lakan Tatlo (Third Degree Black Belt) – Modern Arnis under GM Brian Zawilinski.

This class will be in our new training room. Age limited to students 14 years and older with parental and instructor approval.  

Modern Arnis is the art created by the late Professor Remy Presas through his innovative method of teaching ancient arts with new life, connecting each of the systems and techniques to highlight their relationship to one another in a safe, fun, and effective way to learn both a beautiful martial art with a deep culture, and self-defense
