  Yi Sport is the place you bring your kid if you want them to be challenged. The boys and girls that stick with it learn mental toughness, discipline, self-respect, and become excellent athletes along the way. This is so because of the tremendous devotion and depth of expertise Coach Lionel Lee, Coach Sara, and Coach Khalil bring to the work the work they do in the gym. The emphasis is on Olympic style Taekwondo sparring. The drills and conditioning are in preparation for tournament sparring, at which Yi Sport fighters excel. In addition to excellent coaching, the success the has seen at tournaments at all levels is owed to the uniquely supportive community of parents and team mates that has developed over the years. I can't imagine a group of kids I would rather have my boys hanging out with. For children with national level competitive aspirations, this is where you go to get your training. More important, I'm happy that my children are getting a taste of what it takes to be good at something; an experience I know they will draw on again and again in life.

  As a parent of a 7 year old girl who was lacking physical self confidence, I picked Yi Sport based on convenience and respect for sports in general (I played other competitive contact sports growing up). What I found was a diamond for two reasons. One, Coach Lee and Yi Sport has produced 33 Junior Olympic Gold Medals, 6 US Open Gold Medals, 4 Athletes profiled on the US Olympic Committees official Tae Kwon Do Website and 1 Junior National Prep Team (12-13 year olds) Member. Though I do not personally have Olympic aspirations for my daughter, I do like the quality of teaching that comes with this sort of background. Two, Coach Lee is a compassionate man, who walks the delicate line between holding children accountable to standards while at the same time positively encouraging them to achieve them. Though it may take your child a while to earn a belt at this gym, you will find that the results are worth it. This is a unique gym that a number of parents travel across town to attend.
