In 2001 Grandmaster Lee relocated to the Washington D.C. area and opened the World Martial Arts Center in Warrenton Virginia, where he continues the teachings of HWAL MOO (Tae Kwon Do).

Grandmaster Lee promotes the World Martial Arts Center as a family unit, and prefers to use a traditional approach toward martial arts, focusing on their practical application and use in self defense.
