True Martial Arts Excellence (TMAX) was founded by Master Johnny W. Lee and since its inception, has revolutionized on how Ancient Traditional values can be taught using modern techniques. Master Johnny Lee is a former competitor and has brought home the gold medal in the 1998 U.S Open. He was also a Junior Olympian in Brazil and represented the United States at the mere age of 17. Master Johnny Lee was exceptional in his techniques as he found his own style of training to win. As he would train, he would mentor other Martial Artists and it became clear very soon that his passion was not in competing but in educating and mentoring disciples. Upon those values and ideologies, TMAX has composed itself of only veteran instructors who have a passion for teaching. 

TMAX offers a comprehensive program that is based on the traditional martial arts of Tae Kwon Do.  It is the most popular martial art in the world, and is great for developing physical and mental discipline. We practice in the ancient traditions, philosophy, and spirit of Tae Kwon Do because it promotes a healthy mind, confidence, discipline and high esteem. The foundation of Tae Kwon Do is the pursuit of excellence and this practice will seep into all areas of life.

The essence of "Continuous Improvement" will manifest with this ancient martial art. 

It's not just Tae Kwon Do that TMAX offers.

What makes TMAX a unique environment is its culture and the relationships between the students and their Instructors. TMAX is a complete social ecosystem that provides a supportive family outside of school and other extra curricular activities.

TMAX is more than just a Tae Kwon Do studio. It is a complete culture center and learning sanctuary where our members can learn discipline, life skills, obtain physical finesse and learn how to work together.

This is how we set ourselves apart:

Clean and Safe Facility
Our studio is large with open, clean and comfortable view sections for our parents. We also have a separate, world class matted room for private lessons. Our after school tutorial classrooms are well furnished, clean and spacious.

Team of Instructors
Our team of professional instructors are certified and highly trained with years of experience. Headed by Master Johnny Lee, the founder of TMAX, our instructors work hard to bring his wealth of experience to life and transferable to our students. Our dedicated instructors will help each and everyone realize their full potential in martial arts. Our instructors are world class athletes and professional teachers who are dedicated to art and craft of Tae Kwon Do. All our instructors are certified by our governing body . We go through rigorous instructor training in order to be better teachers and we take our job with an intense commitment toward professionalism.

Instruction with High Integrity
We work hard to maintain and provide high quality instruction for our students by maintaining a low student teacher ratio. Our ratio for beginners is less than 7 to 1 and we believe in providing the most personalized instruction for our members. We also offer private lessons for those that want to excel at a rapid and advanced pace. All our lessons are carefully designed and tested over time to be age and skill level specific so everyone can learn our comprehensive curriculum progressively and safely. We have a lesson plan and calendar organized so our students have a clear idea of what to expect in class. We believe in having a strong structure. Having organization and a system of training is important for delivering consistent results.

Visionary Instruction
We teach traditional Tae Kwon Do using a modern and systematic approach and customize it for each student. It makes the classes more fun, dynamic and engaging. Our top priority is to provide our students with a vision. No matter what their vision is in life, they can obtain it with the right mentality and diligence. While we are committed in maintaining the physical aspect of Tae Kwon Do, the perspective and integrity that becomes instilled in students will be worth more in their maturity. Members will feel challenged, excited, and set goals to become successful. 

Specialized Programs
We offer comprehensive programs for different age groups and needs. For children under 7 years old, we offer our Tiny Tiger program which is designed specifically for their age group. It provides a great work out as well as teach self-control, self-defense, and team work. For our older students, we have the TMAX Foundation Class which goes further into the Eastern Philosophy and discipline. For our talented and dedicated athletes, we offer exciting sport competition opportunities with our Olympic Sparring Team and Demonstration Team that travels and competes nationally. Our training system has generated National Junior Olympic Champions and highly skilled competitors. 

Positive People and Positive Environment
We believe we can practice high level martial arts and train our students to be tough without becoming calloused or mean spirited. To go along with high level techniques, we believe in instilling positive values and philanthropy in our students. We believe good characteristics are essential for success in life and we want our students to be the champion in the ring as well as in life.

We live and breathe with these following tenets:

1. Loyalty
2. Respect
3. Self-Control
4. Responsibility
5. Humility

Tenets are more than just a set of traditions and rules. It is more than just acting the part but actually manifesting the values to become a valuable member in society. Our mission is to raise students with the traditional values of Tae Kwon Do to forge  self development and character formation. Ultimately to promote a healthy mind, self-confidence, discipline and a life long pursuit of happiness.
