About Us

  • Located in Plymouth, Minnesota, World Taekwondo Academy-Plymouth was founded by Grandmaster Byung Yul Lee in 1969. It was created to help people learn about the wonderful benefits of Taekwondo and martial arts. Today, we are still dedicated to educating, inspiring, and teaching people about the amazing benefits of taekwondo. Taekwondo is a Korean martial art with a heavy emphasis on kicks. It was developed as a blend of indigenous Korean fighting styles of taekkyeon, gwonbeop, and subak, with influence from foreign martial arts, such as karate and other Chinese martial arts.

    Grandmaster Lee’s World Taekwondo Academy-Plymouth uses no contracts, or gimmicks, because we have total confidence in our programs. Our instructors are certified Black Belts, National Champions, Pan Am Champions, U.S.A. Team members, and U.S. and Olympic Coaches all with many years of practice and teaching underneath their belts – and that's why we were voted the best school in America by USA Taekwondo not once but twice!

    World Taekwondo Academy-Plymouth location’s Grandmaster Kastelle has over 20 years’ experience with children with special needs and is always passionate about helping students reach their highest potential. Our classes provide a safe and fun atmosphere for kids and adults to be able to fully master taekwondo. World Taekwondo Academy-Plymouth is one of the only schools in the U.S. that specialize in adaptive Taekwondo. We keep class sizes small to help the students get more hands-on attention, and build self-confidence and social skills.

    Taekwondo is an activity designed to be accessible and fun for people of all ages. Our programs have been crafted for anyone with the desire to participate to be able to do so. Taekwondo teaches vital life lessons such as self-defense, self-confidence, respect, discipline, integrity, and so much more. These lessons can then be applied in academics, the workplace, and in a person’s personal life.

    Let us prove to you that we are the best school in Minnesota by offering you, and your family, a free 2-week trial course (which includes a uniform). All you have to do is call and stop by our office!
