Located in Maple Grove, Minnesota, World Taekwondo Academy was founded by Grandmaster Byung Yul Lee in 1969. It was created to help people learn about the wonderful benefits of Taekwondo and martial arts. Today, we are still dedicated to educating, inspiring, and teaching people about the wonderful world of taekwondo. Taekwondo is a Korean martial art with a heavy emphasis on kicks. It was developed as a blend of indigenous Korean fighting styles of taekkyeon, gwonbeop, and subak, with influence from foreign martial arts, such as karate and other Chinese martial arts.
World Taekwondo Academy uses no contracts, or gimmicks, because we have total confidence in our programs. Our instructors are certified Black Belts, National Champions, Pan Am Champions, U.S.A. Team members, and U.S. and Olympic Coaches all with several years of practice and teaching underneath their belts – and that's why we were voted the best school in America in 2009 and 2010 by USA Taekwondo!
