🧡🖤🧡🖤 In Songahm TaeKwonDo, each belt has a meaning/philosophy. The first degree black belt decided means "The tree has reached maturity and has overcome the darkness. It must now begin to 'plant seeds for the future.'" Two of our newest first degree black belt decideds (also mother and son), put their handprints on our Lee’s ATA Paradise Valley Legacy Tree today.

🧡🖤🧡🖤 “The bridge between goals and accomplishments is discipline.” We would like to say a huge “CONGRATULATIONS!!!” To all of our students who worked so hard to prepare for and test yesterday! We would like to highlight that we had 7 people earn their first degree decided black belts last night. A truly amazing accomplishment!!!

🟥 Chief Master Michelle Landgren-Lee 🟥

Chief Master Michelle Landgren-Lee was drawn to martial arts at an early age, but like many women of her generation, she had to admire the art from the sidelines. "As the only female amongst all male brothers and cousins who got to learn martial arts, I was directed towards dance and cheerleading instead," she recalls. "In retrospect, I'm grateful: This societal norm only fueled my determination to do what I love."

Landgren-Lee's 35-year career in martial arts began while she was an undergraduate at Arizona State University and intensified during a stint in Japan, where she continued her studies in international business and Japanese. After returning to the States, earning a graduate degree from Thunderbird School of Global Management, and enduring a profitable, but taxing, career as an international executive, she took a risk.

In 1992, she quit her career, moved into an 800 square foot adobe desert-dwelling she built with her former husband and instructor Chief Master Mark Kaup Lee, and devoted herself to martial arts training. Over the next two decades, they would open 12 Lee's ATA Martial Arts Academies.

Lee's Academy thrived, but the 2008 recession forced her to dig in and get creative. So she restructured her business model, endured a rigorous 75-hour/week teaching schedule, and began rebuilding her business alongside her partner Master Candidate Anthony Landgren.

Lee's ATA Martial Arts Academy eventually doubled in size. To date, the school have enrolled more than 30,000 students, employs 72 instructors, and has trained hundreds state, district, and US and world champions in Arizona. The school has hosted 49 Regional Tournaments since the first one in 1990.
Lee is a Chief Master eighth-degree black belt who holds 15 world champion titles in the ATA. She was inducted into the ATA Hall of Fame in 2019. She currently resides in Mesa, Arizona.
