His background spans Muay Thai, Muay Boran, boxing, kickboxing, Jeet Kune Do, Wing Chun, and Wushu, with a career dedicated to preserving tradition while advancing modern training methods.

Having personally experienced and recovered from multiple injuries, Lee brings not only technical expertise but also empathy and practical knowledge of long-term health and performance. His teaching blends martial arts tradition with evidence-based fitness and nutrition, making him uniquely equipped to help clients build strong foundations, develop skills, and achieve sustainable results at every level.
