I have both of my grandsons enrolled at Yi's Martial Arts. I could not be happier with the experience. Both boys have been going for over 2 years now and both have experienced substantial growth in self confidence, physical strength and stamina and overall understanding of how respect works. Master Chris has a very good understanding of how to develop young people. He is firm in his expectations but not overly critical when someone falls a little short. Younger students receive a lot of nurturing, older students sometimes need a firmer message.
Master Chris makes every effort to support the parents

I am a Black Belt and student of Yi’s Fitness and Martial Arts Academy. My father trained with GM Chris Lee and my children are also students. It’s been an amazing journey beginning in the 1970’s. The Academy is state of the art and GM Chris Lee is the best instructor I have encountered. His professionalism is unmatched and his ability to work with students of all ages is uncanny. The facility is clean and safe. COVID-19 preventive measures are taken seriously. I would recommend anyone who is interested in Martial Arts and or Fitness to contact GM Chris Lee.

They had a Father’s Day special which I appreciated but when I signed up it was in the morning when I got there I waited 30 mins for NO ONE to show up.. I called and messaged both the page and the number when texted me.. 9:30 pm they get back to me they were completely unprofessional they way they talked to me because their “ software “ messed up on them and if I can’t understand “ have a good day” dismissing me as a fellow black belt I dont think that was a black belt attitude..

We are so thankful that our daughter has begun classes at YMAFA! She has only been attending for five weeks, but her focus, memory, and balance have already shown great improvement!
We are excited to see her progression and highly recommend YMAFA to anyone searching for a martial arts home!
Master Chris is amazing with all of his students and it shows in their receptiveness to his teaching!

I'm so glad we found Yi's Martial Arts! Master Chris is always hands on throughout his classes and gives frequent POSITIVE corrections. My son has really thrived here. He loves going to class and even picks up extra classes when possible. He especially loves coming to the Saturday classes!
I've noticed a difference in his home attitude, as well. He shows more respect for himself and others. He takes pride in exhibiting a "black belt attitude" of putting others first and having more self awareness.
Yi's also has guest teachers and added classes such as stranger danger and self defense that keep
