About
My name is Justin Lee and I've been practicing Martial arts for over 20+ years. I started off as soon as I can remember in my father's school and have done everything from performances, exhibitions, and tournaments. I achieved the equivalent of black belt in my school at Taiji Kung Fu Academy in Jacksonville, FL as well as attaining national and international titles in the ICMAC circuit for Kung Fu. I gave up that career early on as I gravitated towards teaching and trying to replicate that success with my students.
Specifically, I teach Kung Fu, both hand forms and weapons, Sanda, grappling, and Tai Chi intertwined into an easy to understand and fun class. My goal is to take the traditional aspects of Chinese Martial arts and adapt it into something stream-lined and modern with a focus on fitness and self-defense.
The format for classes is starting with cardio, then strength building, self-defense, traditional forms and ending with stretching/flexibility training. Classes for younger students will differ slightly but can be tailored to the specific age group as low as 5 and as old as you can keep moving! This is a repeating format with a curriculum set to get you to that black belt proficiency.

Working with Justin was a pleasure, I'm not the most athletic but I feel like I needed to learn how to defend myself in some way.

Justin was great in breaking down exactly how the class would run, communicating with my concerns and adapting the class to fit my exact fitness goal. My body is definitely sore, but felt great at the end after stretching, which was also pretty informational!

Just had a great lesson with Justin! He’s the man. The session was challenging in the best way and left me feeling energized and excited to keep learning. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a skilled, grounded teacher.

I recently had a traumatic experience being almost mugged and felt I needed some self-defense training, but worried I'm not athletic or strong enough to defend myself.
I reached out to Justin and he gave me a consultation call and we went over my concerns and we talked about a specific workout plan tailored to my skillset.
5/5 He addressed everything I had, gave me a great workout and I feel a bit more confident in myself, especially knowing what my future could look like if I stick with his training.

Recently had a class with Justin and it was definitely different than your normal workout class. We went over everything from cardio to pushups to sparring to kung fu training. For 90 minutes of class time at this rate, that's a steal. Normally you'd have to sign up for a private martial arts school for 3x that price locked into a contract.
I'm happy with my experience and getting the value and quality provided!
