Master Dongkyu Lee
Head Instructor
“Rise Without Limit — every student has the power to reach their zenith.”
Master Dongkyu Lee began his Taekwondo journey at the age of 10 while also pursuing a career as a professional soccer player. As he discovered his passion for teaching and competition through various tournaments, he committed himself fully to becoming a dedicated Taekwondo master. He started teaching during his high school years, and today, with over 30 years of experience, he continues to inspire students of all ages — from young children to seniors and high-level competitors.
Master Lee holds a Master's Degree in Taekwondo from Korea National Sport University and a B.A. in Physical Education from Yong In University. He is a 6th Dan Black Belt certified by Kukkiwon and an International Master Instructor (3rd Class). His career includes coaching the Cheongjhoi Taekwondo Poomsae Team, serving as a Lieutenant and Taekwondo Demonstration Team Member in the Republic of Korea Army, and performing with the Kukkiwon Demonstration Team and Korean National Demonstration Team.
Master Lee is also a nationally ranked Poomsae competitor with consistent podium finishes, including 1st Place at the World Taekwondo Hanmadang (2025) and 1st Place at the National Taekwondo Championships (2025). He currently serves as a Technical Committee Member at Kukkiwon and Secretary General of the World Children's Taekwondo Union.
At Zenith Taekwondo, Master Lee's goal is to help every student Rise Without Limit — developing not only martial arts skills, but also discipline, confidence, and a lifelong love for Taekwondo.
