From the very beginning the instructors made us and him feel welcomed. Greeting us with smiles and "Hellos" each time we enter the dojo. They do a great job teaching and instilling the importance of discipline, working hard to earn what you want, and respect. I would highly recommend Counterforce to anyone! My youngest son can't wait until he is old enough to join! read less

Master Ray is insanely patient with large groups of easily distractable and hyper kids. Lots of focus on respect, focus, and fun. All new equipment, a nice clean space to work out in. Having a great time doing Taekwondo with my 7yo. read less

The teacher used to attend the school when he was a little boy and you can tell he's super passionate about teaching other kids the art and discipline of Taekwondo. This is a very warm and supportive environment. It is teaching my son about dedication, responsibility, team work, and being supportive of your comrades.

I feel very fortunate that we found this awesome school. I hope they continue for a lifetime! read less

It had such a positive impact on me as a person that it helped form me into the person I am today. It made me a better student in school, better son to my parents, better friend and most important a better person. Every child or young adult that has opportunity to train at a Martial Arts School should take that chance, especially at Lees Martial Arts Burien also known as Counter Force. Mr. Wheaton and Mr. Himor are top notch instructors and most importantly mentors and role models. Recently I have had the opportunity to start training again and never thought about joining or even visiting any other a schools. Contacted Chris and he was if not more excited for me to start training again. After a 11 year break, it was and is still really tough but 5 weeks later and 10 pounders lighter I look forward to class everyday as I did when I was a white belt in 1998. read less
