Masters MA Team — Long Island Champions

A Legacy of Traditional Taekwondo

History

Masters Martial Arts Academy was founded in Syosset, New York by Master Mike Lee, a second-generation Taekwondo practitioner and multi-national champion. Master Mike spent years teaching Taekwondo at Columbia University before bringing his program to Long Island, where he established a school rooted in family tradition and competitive excellence. Over more than two decades, the Academy has become a cornerstone of the Syosset community — developing students from Tiny Tigers all the way through black belt and beyond. The school's motto, 'Confidence & Kindness,' reflects Master Mike's belief that the dojo shapes character as much as it builds champions.

Onward and Upward

The Legacy Continues

As the lead instructor and founder, Master Mike teaches every class in person and personally monitors each student's progress. His teaching style blends patience, structure, and genuine care — building confidence in shy children, sharpening focus in teens, and developing strength in adults. Students and parents consistently credit him as a transformative presence in their lives.
