Hard work Martial Arts Incredible place for kids, My…read morechildren going since last year to Hard work Martial Arts camp. They love it. They are having great time at water park and field trip. They have developed a lot of flexibility and strength. They made friends. The Coach is really knowledgeable and nice person. He doesn't hesitate to help. The staff is very good and friendly.I have recommended to other families to this place. I would say one of best place I ever had found.

We have used Grandmaster H.K. Lee Academy of TaeKownDo for summer camp, holiday camp, snow days,…read moreand general membership for both children (ages 4-8) and adults (late 30s/early 40s). This dojan is amazing. Quality: The core masters have taken international standards and slightly modified them based on Grandmaster Lee's experiences and knowledge of both children and adult physiology to ensure they are learning something that fits and appropriately stretches their body's abilities, meets or exceeds international standards for TKD, and is practical use. Masters bring a variety of skills from different countries, ensuring that a variety of skills are being appropriately considered and taught. Many of them also have multiple martial arts backgrounds, bringing that knowledge with their practical lessons. Value: With your monthly membership you can attend as many classes as you are able to. No questions asked. No minimum, no maximum. If you can only attend one a month it's going to feel very expensive, but if you can attend 3-5 times per week the value is incredible. You can attend as many classes as you want in a day, so if you want to cram 3-5 hours into a Saturday, do it. If you want to use one of the dojan for private study, just ask. Tests are not expensive, equipment is priced fair. They have THREE studios which classes or private study can be run out of. Professionalism: the masters treat children with care and comfort. They give adults the respect of their age. They combine discipline with fun. They are flexible in ensuring your needs can be met. There are men's and women's locker rooms available for pre/post-class changing. Bring your bottle and fill your water. Camps: my daughter LOVES her time at camps. She's always exhausted at the end of the day - physically and emotionally. They have academics, play time, electronics if allowed, plenty to read, activities to engage the mind, and of course TKD lessons for everyone. If you want to mix in music lessons from the music and theater school upstairs, they will help ensure your children get to their lessons and back SAFELY and without your intervention. COVID: When COVID hit they moved 100% virtual on Zoom. They have been able to negotiate the Zoom security issues, setup a calendar assignment system allowing you to sign up for classes and attend knowing you and your children will not be harrassed by "zoom-bombing" and have solid lessons with your masters. As the state has allowed they began limited-attendance in-person training OUTDOORS on professional mats and considering social distancing for saftey! They have continued to expand to include indoor classes, no contact sparring techniques, private study in the lower dojan, and more! Injured? They'll pause your membership commitment. Birthday? They'll help you throw a party for your (children's) friends! Interested in STEM? They have a STEM class that runs seasonally. Interested in musical theater? dance? piano? violin? singing? The music school is family run and AMAZING, with top tier teachers.

Yes, Yes, Yes! I hugely recommend HKLee!!! We were in the AfterCare and Camp programs at HKLee…read morefor 3 years before a move took us out of the area. Well, I soon learned that I did not know what I had in HKLee!! Truthfully, I lost a co-parent when I lost HKLee. That's exactly how it's felt and it's been a very noticeable loss. My daughter needs HKLee as a part of her daily life, I need it to feel best about what I'm doing for Her, and We Both Need It For The Familial Environment!!!! It's unbelievable the way the staff learns and handles your child to their unique needs. And the way they partner with parents for the best growth and development for your children. And your children learn focus and discipline and social skills. They learn caring and respect for themselves, their family, and the people and environment around them. They get focused activity, free play time, and learning. Their camp program does more than any other with field trips, STEM projects, TKD class, swim day, park day, and more. And best of all... they study TKD with amazing Masters and staff. They work hard, develop their skills, and move through the belt ranks via a great exam program. And as parents, you get to watch your children grown and learn, practice and master, and best of all - you get to see the most amazing look of Pride and Accomplishment in their face when they achieve a new belt. And there's nothing better than that! Sending my daughter to the HKLee Academy was the single best decision I made for her. Trust me, You will feel the same!!!

Every child receives individual attention to help them progress confidently and correctly. The school is extremely organized and runs like a well-oiled machine.

I highly recommend this school to any parent looking for a supportive, professional, and top-notch martial arts program!

Our youngest was a student there when she was very young, and the support she was incredible. As her parents we were in awe of just how committed to her well-being they were.

We highly recommend this studio to anyone!! Everyone there is wonderful! Layton G

The owner is very serious about providing quality instruction while maintaining a very clean learning regiment during the pandemic. We took advantage of the 2 private classes for $20 and it comes with a T-shirt. So hey, if you don't think it's for you, you still walk away with a cool T-shirt. You can sign up month to month or if you want to save $10 a month you can commit to a 6 month contract. I highly recommend this location.

The staff is what makes this place special. They genuinely know each kid, pay attention to their personalities, and adjust how they work with them. That kind of care is hard to find. The program teaches real values -- discipline, respect, and great martial arts instruction. Master Lightfoot, Master J, and Master C have built a terrific team. Even my younger child who isn't school age yet is enthusiastic about coming to LBE to see the staff (shout out to Mr. Randolph, Mr. Tue, and Mr. Nicholas for all their help with after care!). Highly recommend!

We've had an absolutely wonderful experience with Life Champ Martial Arts of Reston. What truly…read morestands out is that this is so much more than just a martial arts school.. it's a place focused on character development, confidence, discipline, and leadership. Master Ben, Tyler, and Vivian are exceptional people who are always ready to assist, help, and support with any questions or concerns. We have been with them for three years and plan to continue for many more. I didn't leave a review immediately because trust takes time to build, and over the years they have absolutely earned ours. Thank you for everything you do. The instructors are exceptional: patient, professional, caring, and incredibly skilled at working with children of all ages. You can genuinely see how much they care about each student's growth, both inside and outside the classroom. The environment is positive, structured, and motivating. The programs are also extremely convenient for busy families, especially the after-school program and summer camps. Everything is very organized, and communication with parents has always been excellent. One of the things we appreciate most is how much confidence and focus children gain here. The emphasis on respect, self-discipline, and perseverance truly makes a difference. It's easy to understand why so many families stay with the program for years and continue all the way through black belt training. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a supportive, structured, and inspiring martial arts community in Reston.

It's not just about martial arts--they've helped her build discipline, self-control, and confidence. The instructors teach kids to follow rules and be respectful in all areas of their lives, not just in class. My daughter is now a 1st Dan Black Belt, and her ability to defend herself is impressive. This studio has done an amazing job helping her grow into a confident and well-rounded person. I definitely recommend this studio to anyone looking for martial arts and life skills. It's a great choice for kids, teens, and adults!
