The best part of teaching martial arts is seeing the smiles on the students' faces when they accomplish something that they did not think they could achieve.

4. What is the best reaction you've ever gotten from a customer?

The best reaction we have gotten from a student is when their martial art learning went beyond the mat. When one of our students personally accomplishes something amazing in life and martial arts learning had something to do with that, is the best reaction we have seen. J.K. Lee's has the proud accomplishment of having 16 of its black belt become valedictorians of their high school.
