Master Lee's World TaeKwonDo

Our three children have thoroughly enjoyed training under Master Ricky and his team. Our oldest started 7 years ago and after getting her 2nd degree black belt took a break to focus on music. She missed it so much, she begged us to let her return to practice under Master Ricky this year. Same for our middle and youngest. His unwavering commitment to developing his students is clearly evident.

Great school and a very dedicated master and teaching staff. Master Rick and his assistants keeps the students very focused and the classes are high intensity. I have seen huge improvement in my son physically, mentally and in discipline ever since he started here. Would very strongly recommend

Awesome Teacher and great classes!!! Love it. My husband and I joined Master Rick’s Talium about a month ago and we absolutely love it. In this short period I have seen positive changes in my overall health and I am really grateful. Now it has become a part of our routine. Master Rick’s classes are so much fun. He motivates every student to become better and stronger in every class. Sometimes, instructors from other Talium schools come to the Houston Talium to teach and demonstrate – the demonstrations are surely remarkable and inspirational. The adults class is at 7 PM every day. When we arrive at the class, sometimes if the previous class is still going on, you get to see kids (all ages) learning Taekwondo – being energetic and focused and having fun. Master Rick is really good with kids. His classes are not just about kicking and punching, but education of the mind as well. He also teaches the kids to be more disciplined and respectful to everybody. I am sure all the parents of those kids are really glad to have found a teacher like Master Rick. I would highly recommend anybody (no age bar) who wants to learn Taekwondo to join Master Rick’s Talium. It is never too late to become a student of Taekwondo.

We've started both kids at Master Rick's Talium Taekwondo. We've been parents and students since 2016-2017. Our oldest started when she was 4 years old and got her black belt. Our oldest started when he was 5. Master Rick has a great way of working with kids and creating an inclusive environment where every child, regardless of their athletic abilities, can develop their full potential. It also a great place where discipline, self control, self reliance, and confidence are instilled. As an older adult, I was inspired to start training in the adult classes held on evenings and Saturdays. After several years and some interruptions (Harvey, COVID etc.), I earned my black belt last year. The school has had some personnel changes over the years but the one constant is Master Rick. Master Rick's positive demeanor, patience and breadth of Taekwondo knowledge are matched only by his expectation that each student work to the best of their ability to fulfill their martial arts journey.

My daughter has been with Master Rick for 1 month, and she's now a big fan of both Taekwondo and Master Rick. She is a gifted and straight A student at school but very strong-minded kid, always has her excuse and her own way of doing anything and has brought a lot of headache to me on how to discipline her. At the first trial class she even refused to enter the classroom, but only looked from outside. Amazingly Master Rick has the experience to deal with this kind of kids, and the class was full of fun and challenge that she did try next class. From then on I can see her confidence and spirit of "try best" grow each class, by Master Rick's encouragement, compassion, enthusiastic instruction, care and humor. I feel so blessed to find a Master like him, and believe that the school will be a even greater success in short time. If you have a kid like mine, go for Master Rick, you will be amazed like me.
