During the 1950’s and 1960’s, Master Lee’s schools expanded throughout Korea and various locations throughout the world. Grand Master Lee eventually established his first Canadian school, the J.J. Lee Tae Kwon Do School in Calgary, Alberta, Canada in 1970.

Although we are known under our new name, Taekwondo – Chungdokwan Calgary, we are still Western Canada’s oldest established Taekwondo school.
