"In victory, be humble. In defeat, be strong. In all things be fair."
--Eternal Grand Master H.U. Lee

Songahm Taekwondo was developed by Eternal Grand Master H. U. Lee as a systematic program to develop the students mental and physical capabilities. Songham means "pine tree and rock" signifying the growth students progress through and the strength and stability they obtain through training. 

Students work through 9 color belt levels (or grades) learning a variety of specific skills in forms (the martial "art" of taekwondo), self-defense, sparing, weapons, and board-breaking at each level. Emphasis is on goal setting, self-improvement and encouraging each individual to stretch themselves to their own potential while maintaining a basic set of requirements for all students. Once completing the 9 color belt grades the student moves into the "degrees" of black-belt, starting at 1st degree.

A set of values is taught throughout the student's training including:

  • Courtesy
  • Loyalty
  • Respect
  • Perseverance
  • Honor
  • Integrity
  • Self-control
These values form a foundation of personal growth for youth and adults alike.

Development through Songahm Taekwondo has proven to be a life-changing experience for many students (not to mention many student's parents!).
