Master Johnson was trained under one of only a handful of Grandmasters in the United States teaching Tae Kwon Do, Grandmaster Choon Lee. Master Lee is a 9th Dan Grandmaster who came to the United States in the 1960’s. Master Lee began the organization called American Korean Tae Kwon Do Association (AKTA) that is still going strong today. The parent school in Shawnee, Kansas called Choon Lee’s Academy of Tae Kwon Do is where Master Johnson began training in the 1970’s. He was one of Grandmaster Lee’s first students and 30 years later is proud to carry on their proud tradition.
