In 1999, Master Sang Ho Lee initiated a unique internship program bringing Korean instructors and masters to the United States to be a part of Lee Brothers Academy. The program helps maintain strong ties between Tae Kwon Do students here in America and martial artists in Korea. Each group of interns is made up of black belts who are studying Tae Kwon Do in their universities or as a part of their careers. In the three or four months of their visit, the interns learn to speak English, spend time working with the Burlington police force, visit cultural and historical sites around the state, and teach and train extensively at Lee Brothers Academy under Master Lee. During their time in America, the interns gain exposure to a different side of Tae Kwon Do, learning new methods and skills that are not found in academies in Korea. At the same time, they bring traditional knowledge and new developments from masters on the other side of the world and share them with our students. It is important that students use their time with the interns to the fullest, taking advantage of the program in every way they can. By being enthusiastic and paying attention in class, students can get expert help with their skills from black belts who were trained under some of Korea’s most respected masters. Interacting with the interns outside of class gives students a better understanding of the Korean culture and language, and friendships made through the internship program are incredibly valuable for students who wish to visit Korea someday. Of course, the interns benefit as well – by speaking with them as often as possible, asking questions and getting to know them, our students can help these visitors develop their English skills and give them better insight into the way Lee Brothers Academy is operated. So far, the program has been a great success – in the last seven years, Master Lee has already hosted over two dozen interns, keeping our academy’s connection to Korea strong and beneficial and providing amazing opportunities for students and visitors alike.
