Master DS Lee: Guiding the Next Generation of Taekwondo Athletes

from A Black Belt Way of Life

Master DS Lee, son of Texas Taekwondo pioneer Grandmaster Chang Lee, has dedicated his life to advancing the art and sport of Taekwondo. As the president of USA Taekwondo’s Texas State Association, one of the largest and most competitive regions in the country, Master Lee continues a legacy built on discipline, service, and leadership.   Growing up, watching his father struggle and then succeed by opening up Chang Lee's Taekwondo in 1980 in Mesquite, Texas, gave him the motivation to overcome any obstacle. A past high-level competitor, he won national championships, competed at the Olympic team trials, represented the USA on the collegiate national team, and was victorious in Pro-TKD. Once retired, he turned his attention to becoming a high-level coach, putting an athlete on the United States Olympic team and many athletes on all levels of the USA national team.  Master DS Lee has never hesitated to share his knowledge to not only grow USA Taekwondo's pipeline but also give back to the older athletic community by becoming its first-ever head coach for the USA Masters Team. In the words of USA Masters Team Captain Trinity Tongg Osborn, Coach Lee is a "true gem" to the Taekwondo world. For everything BBWOL, click below -Chang Lee's Taekwondo CenterFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/ChangLeesTaekwondoCenterInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/changleestkd/Texas State Taekwondo - https://www.txtkd.orgYouTube - http://www.youtube.com/@blackbeltwayoflifeSpotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/276fCOHsnHb8YcakObQqWP?si=694b07f440014ac9Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a-black-belt-way-of-life/id1769633501Amazon Music - https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/9d314fb1-51bb-4232-b3ab-60247520f343/a-black-belt-way-of-lifeBBWOL Show Producer - Press Record Studios - https://pressrecordstudios.comShow Sponsor - Mr. Joseph Ferone of Weichert Realty - https://www.zillow.com/profile/josephferonenyOfficial Apparel Company - https://bestma.usKickfit Martial Arts Shoes - Promo Code BBWOL at check for a 10% discount - https://kickfit.us/New York Black Belt Center - https://nybbc.orgUSA Masters Team - https://usamastersteam.org
