Super Bowl of Martial Arts: Today is the Day for Joon Lee's Tae Kwon Do Students
In Los Angeles, hours upon hours of hard work will be put to the test at the ATU National Championships.
The day finally has arrived for students from Joon Lee’s Tae Kwon Do School. Today, 28 students ranging from ages 5-62 are competing in Los Angeles in the ATU National Championships.
Earlier in the week, Patch had the opportunity to catch up with some of the students who will be competing.
“I’m excited because it’s my first nationals,” Keely Rodriguez said. “So I’m not sure how it’s going to be different from other tournaments.”
