Lee's has helped both of my girls over come some things and are still working on others. You never stop learning so they will continue to learn and improve them selves. Self-esteem is a big one for everyone. They learn how to keep them self safe. They get a great workout to go along with the personal things they are working on. Master Winkler and Master Manderfield are great with children that have special needs as well as the other children and adults. They are both Black Belts and they love doing TKD and would not go any place else. They both would like to be a Master some day. Go and check out the places you are thinking about joining watch the classes, do it more then three times at each place. Ask questions of people that you see their it does not hurt to ask questions, it hurts not to. I give them a 4 out of 5 because their is always room for improvements and they have and still are. You get to make some great friends and so do the children. It is like being in a big family.
