Lee's Chinese Martial Arts

Teacher Lee's school is a great place to learn self-defense skills. But beyond that, he will help you get in shape and live a healthy life. The school has a family atmosphere where everyone is focused on helping others get better. Everybody is tasked with teaching and leading newer students. Teacher Lee truly loves his students and provides a place where they can excel physically but also can be built up spiritually.

If you are interested in learning how to fly through the air or do pretty demonstrations then this is not the place for you. We are LCMA are not about fighting, hurting people or looking cool. We are simply people trying to be followers of God and supporting one another in our journies of health, fitness and spirituality. I have been a student of Teacher Lee's for over six years and seen many changes in our school. We have had good and bad times, but everything we have experienced as a school and as individuals has made us stronger. If you walk into our school with fear and nerves, do not be afraid. Our students are loving and supportive people (sometimes you get bad eggs in there, but God has away of removing such people swiftly) and you absolutely will not be injured. Pain will frustrate and strike fear in young students and we want you to feel safe and comfortable at whatever level or whatever pace you would like to train at. However, if you enter with an ego and try to show off, you will be humbled. Students fight with Teacher Lee every day because we won't reach his level unless we have the opportunity to touch hands with him. But if you are only interested in showing off and hurting people I have seen him take care of the garbage. Go ahead and sign the waivor required to fight Teacher Lee (this is only if you want to challange him because you think you can beat him) and he will try not to hurt you. If you start to act a fool, he will correct your attitude. You cannot be cocky and aggressive in this school. You must be a kind and respectful person to train with us, so if you are and genuinely wish to better yourself we welcome you with love and joy.

be careful signing a contract, even if you leave you may still have to pay it. You can get good defense at this place but the instructor is a little extreme and can show favorites, so be careful challenging him on anything because he doesn't admit when he's wrong. But if you don't mind that it's one of the best places in town to learn good eating habits, self-defense, confidense when you use your skill and fitness; there are few schools that can match fighting standard here.

In my seven month experience in Chinese Martial Arts, Kung Fu has helped me improved healthy eating habits, loose weight, I excersie on a daily basis which is something I did not maintain previously. I am also learning great defense skills, and overall improving my total lifestyle.

I started @ lcma around a year and a half ago i come from 4 yr karate background, and i cant really put into words what drew me to chinese kung fu besides i need extensive changes in my life...It wasnt the style that drew me it was the overwhelming sense of right doing and, doing right coming from the instructors and every student inside..i came in with an open mind and what i got was a mind blowing experience i was speaking with Chief Instructor Lee and he calls over one of his yellow belts (keep in mind the belt system goes from white, yellow, green, blue, red, black with 9 degrees)...

he sys i want u to try and hit my student which was a 16 yr old boy and i am a 23 yr old man..HE SYS DONT WORRY HE WONT HIT U BACK HE WILL SIMPLY TOUOCH YOUR HEAD TO LET U KNOW HE IS THERE...and i am thinking their is no way this kid can stop me i am a 6'1" 165lb life time athlete do i procede with caution not to hurt him..i throw the first punch to his face blocked so i speed it up a bit the next one blocked...so i try some combos harder and faster quickly realizing that the harder and faster that i attacked the easier i made it for him to block and disable my movements..not to mention his arms wich were much smaller that mine were hard as rock the harder i went the more i hurt my arms because his were so much harder that mine..i then came to the realization that i could not hit this kid even with my karate background....I was left stupified and wondering.....after talking with Instructor Lee i Quickly realized that i was dealing with a power greater that any man....i signed up right their on the spot..and have beed steadly changing and proving not only my self defence but my life as well..their is nothing like it ANYWHERE!!!

My interest in martial arts started at a young age, when I saw my first Jet Li movie. The way he fought astounded me, and I wanted to be just like him. I bugged my parents about letting me do kung fu and I promised them I would be dedicated to the art, just like I had been dedicated to ballet, cheerleading, and basketball. They finally relented and looked for a place that could handle the whirl wind of energy that was me. My father searched and searched until he found a place that met all of his criteria. When I walked into Lee’s Chinese Martial Arts Federation I was eager to learn flying scissor kicks and leg sweeps. Soon, I found out that martial arts was about more than kicking people, and fancy defenses. It’s about being and staying healthy, organizing your life, and having a healthy fear of God. It’s a powerful thing knowing you can truly hurt a person with the self defense you learn there, but being able to defend yourself, not hurt your opponents, smile, and talk about God while you’re fighting is another thing entirely. To do martial arts you have to want to make yourself better and stand firm with that goal. I will warn you, it’s not easy sticking with the lifestyle and maintaining your health. In the end, all the work you’ve done will help you improve your life and inspire your family and friends to get off the couch and get into action. At Lee’s Chinese Martial Arts Federation I have grown as a person and a martial artist. We fight to protect ourselves, and help the ones we love. I was able to get my father to train with me after I got my black belt in the kid’s class. Now, we both have our black belts in the adult class and are working towards our first degree. I have seen the changes LCMA has gone through and I can honestly say that it has been for the better. We focus on morality and fighting for God. Our teacher always says he doesn’t need money he needs blessings. If you come here, be prepared to hear about God and the bible because God is good and Jesus is great. We are able to fight with bare fists and not hurt anyone because we are fighting for God. I would recommend LCMA to anyone and everyone who wants to better themselves, their life, and their loved ones. It will be that goal that will keep you on the horse and keep you dedicated to the art when you least want to do it. Not everyone can do kung fu and honestly commit to making themselves better, it’s hard and it takes a lot of work but it is well worth it in the end. I started doing kung fu when I was nine years old because of Jet Li; I’ve stuck with it because it’s important to be a woman who knows how to protect herself. Kung Fu is more than self defense and the ability to be able to blow a candle out from a foot away with only your energy. It’s about what you do with the skill you learn, and the lifestyle you learn to help keep your temple running efficiently. I have become self aware, confident, and prepared for any situation. I know I can fight back in dangerous and scary circumstances. Wing Chun has enriched my life as a woman and I have no doubt that whatever comes my way I’ll be able to conquer it because my teacher and God have helped me prepare. They’ve given me the tools to succeed; now I have to believe in their power. I’ve used the skills I have learned at LCMA in my day to day life to become more focused and a calmer individual. If you’re looking for a place that will give you the skills you need to defend yourself, then this is the place for you. If you’re looking for a place where you can just get power then this is not the place. That place my father found eight years ago has become my safe haven today equipping me with the abilities I’ll need in the future.

Teacher Lee is truly running an academy on everything a person needs to make themselves better. This is also a place of healing. I came in just wanting to improve my fighting skills not even realizing my overall self needed to be restored. I haven't even been apart of the LCMA life style for a year and my physical well being has improved tremendously. I was a mere 143 lbs. at 6'5" when I began. Now I am 6'6" and 175 lbs. and it came on me in muscle mass. My mentallity about everything has changed. I am no longer quick to fight and be destructive. I only desire to better myself and others that I come in contact with. I would only fight with someone now if I were physically provoked first and even then would I reframe from causing unneccesary pain. My spirit was broken and I hadn't even realized it until I decided I wanted to train there. I have a new hope and confidance and my leadership skills are begginning to come out of me. As far as emotions go, I was truly a train wreck. I was so far under that I was numb. I felt little to nothing for other people and myself. Nothing was painful for me and there was never any good news inspite of it being all around me. I was anti social and gave a mean glare to any who got to close or was to friendly. But that is all behind me now and I've been able to become well acquainted with others. With my full turn around and healing that I've expirenced and what I've witnessed: People losing and gaining weight (which ever was/is necessary), people have stopped smaoking and drinking, people have found God, and many other things have taken place. All in all, this is the best place anyone can be.

I began training at LCMA following a home invasion and brutal sexual assault. I felt as though I would never have peace or a feeling of safety again. In the year I have been training at LCMA my life has completely transformed into something better than I ever thought it could be. I have learned discipline, confidence and self control in addition to my fighting skills. I am more organized and efficient in all areas of my life. I have a closer relationship with god and peace again in my life. I no longer feel fear about being home alone or walking to my car at night. I eat healthier and exercise daily. As a result I have lost 50lbs of fat and 13.5 inches off my waiste in this short year. This is a wonderful place for growth in all aspects of one's life. Whether you are looking to improve physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, or all of the above, this is a warm and welcoming place to start your journey.

I've been at LCMA for 4 years. I've learned many things, including leadership, patients, and self discipline. Mr. Lee doesn't sell you your skills, he teaches you real fighting skills. I've enjoyed the time that I've spent at LCMA, and what I've gotten out of it is worth it. Most importantly Mr. Lee doesn't make it about himself, he concerns himself with his students and God. I've seen a lot of people come and go, but he doesn't hold any grudges against them. He will put his blood on the floor before he allows any of his students to be hurt. As your skills grow, so does your responsibility. Each time you become a higher belt you gain responsibility for the younger ones. It isn't about learning how to fight and leaving, it's about learning how to protect others, and take care of those who aren't as strong as you.

This is a great place to learn martial arts. You will learn actual self defense. After a few years of training nobody will be able to lay a hand on you in a fight. The people there are very supportive and eager to help you further your skills.

Lee's Chinese Martail Arts has provided me with a great opportunity for growth both physically and spiritually. My family has always been fitness oriented and LCMA provides me additional focus for my lifestyle. This is the one place where I can get the support and encouragement needed to succeed. The martial arts training is real not choreographed fighting like other schools; it's Practical and Real self defense.

Before anything else, you should know that Lee's Chinese Martial Arts Federation, especially the philosophy of teaching and the results that are produced in the students who attend is/are derived from the Bible and a proper understanding and relationship with Jesus Christ. If you cannot accept Jesus, it will be very difficult for you to understand the school. However, Master Lee welcomes all with open arms, as do his students, and is constantly willing to talk to anyone who comes through the door about Jesus Christ (and we've all got issues!), so don't feel like you have to "get it all right" before you come through the door. None of us have! LCMA is an entirely Christ-focused, self-defense oriented kung fu school which emphacizes moral, mental and physical discipline. We fight each other every day, bare-fisted on a concrete floor without hurting each other by the grace of Christ and because we strive to avoid getting hit and avoid hitting others. Jesus Christ has used LCMA to truly change my life in the short 4 months that I have been attending. The disciplines from the training and the moral lessons learned from Master Lee and his students have significantly changed my perspective of the purpose of my life, the necessity of nutrition and taking care of my body, the necessity of balance, and many others. As Master Lee says, it is truly impossible to accurately describe what goes on in the school. You just have to see it for yourself! I could hardly believe my eyes when I saw one another student (not even a black belt) defend himself against two attackers without getting hit and without hurting either of his attackers! -This training is designed for real-life combat and it's no joke! It takes alot of hard work but its worth the effort! As always, I thank Jesus Christ for dying to pay for my sins and raising to life to demonstrate that he is God. I hope this review has been helpful to you!

Testimonial 5/2009



Before Kung Fu, I was at 325 lbs. with a 52” pants size. Now, only 4 months later, I am holding at 310 lbs. and I’m at a pants size of 46! I have lost 9 ¾ “ off my waistline. I have also become much stronger and fit. Kung Fu has also helped my sleeping disorder. I went from sleeping only 3-4 hours per night to about 7 hours a night! Kung Fu and Chi Kung have helped to change me. I thank God for it and for this school.

The road is long, hard and filled with trails and temptations. We are plagued with pain, yet without hesitation we set out in the middle of a war for souls in this world that is struggling and falling apart. We shed the fear from our hearts for mankind and replace it with fear of God, with this fear he gives us power to press on, to take the world head on, even though it screams back you'll fail.The enemy is craftful and will try to attack were we are weakest, during these times we mustent close our eyes and harden our hearts, we turn and face our enemy knowing God has our back and will guide our hands to guide them to the truth.

Sifu Jason: Kung Fu has given me health in body spirit and mind. Kung Fu has taught me following Jesus in this world is tough and hard work. Carrying your cross everyday is a daily choice you don't get used to. But it brings you to roads you never would have arrived at if you had not chosen God's Way. For instance, blocking all hands and feet; knowing wherever I walk God has given me the ability to defend myself and feel safe under His Protection. But all of this is nothing without giving Him the credit and the glory, JESUS!!

I met Master Lee about a year and a half ago. I went in to check out the school. I had just moved from California and my family and were getting re-established to a whole new life. I was sitting in my office one day and I decided to look up the local Martial Arts establishments on line. I found Master Lees web page and began to read. When I read about all of the requirements needed for a LIFESTYLE change, I knew that this place was for me. I was able to take the 2 free classes offered but because of unforeseen circumstances, I could not continue however, in those 2 classes Master Lee spoke about eating right and living the lifestyle. He also spoke about daily exercises and getting a routine down i.e. (crunch club!) Anyway It has been a year and half since but I never forgot what Master Lee spoke about and I tried to adopt that kind of a lifestyle. Well I didnt do so well and a few months ago I was diagnosed with border line Diabetes. My doctor told me its not too late to fix it before it fixes me! I spoke to my wife who is very supportive of my quest to live a healthier lifestyle, agreed that I should return to Master Lee and begin my journey to healing and understanding. I started mid March of 2009 and I am going on 8 weeks of Kung Fu training. I am a rather large individual and I think a lot of it stems from my culture and who I am but I can still lose a few pounds so having said that, I have already lost about 3 inches off of my waist. I have made a lot of changes in the types of foods that are prepared and consumed at home. My family and I love to eat out and we have also made requests that our food be prepared in accordance with our lifestyle change. (Most restaurants will accommodate if you just ask...... imagine that!!) When I am not in class my wife and I are working out at the local Gym. Master Lee is teaching me how to heal my self and each time I go to class, I am blessed to be able to have the understanding needed to apply these changes into my life. I am a very religious person and I know that without the help of my Heavenly Father and his son Jesus Christ, I cannot do what I do. Master Lee preaches good morality and reminding us that each step we take in life needs to be taken with Jesus Christ leading the way! In this short time I have been in training I have felt and I have seen a dramatic change in my life. Master Lee always says that he is not the one that is making a change in his students lives, he says its the Lord that is making the changes he comes to heal just as we all do! Well I believe Master Lee is truly inspired and those who support living a healthy lifestyle coupled with the training of an ancient style of Kung Fu along with Master Lees conviction of the Lord Jesus Christ will see their lives change in a way that they would have never imagined.



Master Lee teaches fighting without fighting and he will take on anyone who walks through the door in slow motion with one hand! of course no one ever gets hurt and Master Lee will preach to his opponent as he is getting his point across in slow motion! Aside from learning how to eat right and losing the weight, my kung fu skills have grown in abundance which has given me confidence beyond measure that allows me to do and experience other facets of life that I normally would never even think of doing. LCMA is the real deal!

Lee's Chinese Martail Arts is, without question, the best martial arts school in the midwest. The program is set up so that students properly learn true kung fu techniques. It's crazy, I've been training here for 9 years and I have seen the so-called tough man fighters come and go. Master Lee fights everyone who walks through the door with one hand and beats ALL of his opponents in slow motion...without hitting any of them. I know it sounds crazy, but it's true! Master Lee is a true believer in Jesus and knows exactly what his purpose is and he does like no one else. He will preach to his opponents as he fights them. The instruction here is truly amazing.



Master Lee will show students how to fight well and how to live well. The only true competition a person will ever have in ones self and that's whats focused on. Students learn how to eat well and exercise on a daily basis. And many students have lost weight and improved their health. With daily crunches and push ups students drastically improve muscle strength and function.



Students will also be spiritually impacted. Master Lee has filled the environment with the spirit of Jesus. Most people say, "Jesus and fighting?!!" Yes! Students learn how to fight in a non-violent manner using the spirit of Christ. In other words, we fight, well, without hitting our opponent...violently. He has proven that you can improve your fighting skill without beating up your opponent and injuring them. Truly a Martial Art from Jesus!



If you are looking for a school where you can learn how to fight in a safe, encouraging, and christian environment, come to Lee's Chinese Martial Arts.

upon request to write a annual review. Call it a testimony. I have prayed to be sent to a real martial arts school. I'm a Mormon. I know of prayer and Gods influence when He answers. I believe God affects all areas of my life. Since elementary school I have had a sore issue is confindence and peers. I have been to many schools in the kc area to visit and see what they taught. Mostly what i saw was chit chat about what they taught and watched them teach. Master Lee will fight anyone who comes through his door or introduce them to the school then demostrate his skills and teachings. Everytime. No calling the cops or relying on his students to chast me out. No yelling at me cause I disrepected him by asking to spar him. There is no appointment set for a week later. no legal release forms to sign. Do you really think you will have time to reach for that piece of paper when you get jumped and and beatin on the street. I didn't: both times! Do you really think a cell phone will save you; or a sword, stick or something big and clumsy that cant be takein into a high security area? All you'll have is a brain and 2 feet and 2 hands and no time to respond. Military training is great for 2 to 4 years while your on the line. then time takes its tolls and lifestyle causes it destress. All that fast food and tv watching and no cardio will cause you to have a heart attack at 50.



I studied American Karate in Grandview in the 90's under mr. Kelly. My impression of martial arts schools since that time has been low. Yes they teach kicks, blocks, and wrestling. Do they really incorporate enough self defense in all of their drills and cardio? Nope. I went to a title boxing school. They spent an hour doing cardio. push ups, sits ups, punching bag routines with hits and kicks. The students were dropping to the floor at the end of class from exhustion. Do you think any of those cadio classes could honstly stop a blow or a kick when they wear gloves and pads punching a bag thats soft by design? Master Lee's has us conditioning our fist, arms, legs, and feet with only shoes on. we learn forms that ensure muscle memory and routines that ensure endurance. He Preaches of Christ, Health, and Control after seeing destruction for 30 years as a result of Lack of Christ, Health and Control. Walk away from the world and Live in a true life of Martial Arts!

Two major things inspired me to write this review. Watching the video and reading "Expertadvice's" post on 01/01/2009



"Crap!!!! Seen better heard better. But has potential."



I'm so glad "Expertadvice" took the time to pause between his game of World of Warcraft and raised his limp wrist to type such a masterpiece review. His elequent use of the word "crap" is obviously a reflection of the broad vocabulary that he has learned online while living in his mother's basement for so many years. So on to more positive things...



From the video, it looks like there is a wide range of student types including age and skill level. A well equiped training area with punching bags and FOUR wooden dummies-equipment essential to kung fu training. It also appears that the instructors practice what they preach. Physically fit and interacting with students, teaching hands on and by observation. This looks like a solid school, I am definitely interested and will check this out in person for a full review.

I have been training under Master Lee for almost 12 years. I have seen him fight everyone who comes through his door with one hand—in slow motion while talking to an audience. I’ve seen much larger opponents try to take his head off, and he handles everyone with very little effort. I’ve seen people with major health problems overcome and extend their quality of lives. I’ve seen people who have major problems interacting with other people become more comfortable and even nurturing. Kung Fu is a tool that the Good Lord has used to expose my “hidden sins” and ego problems. I honestly didn’t understand the fullness of my limitations until I started training Kung Fu. I have learned that Mastery means that one knows nothing. By approaching every situation with a mental realization that Christ does exist and through him, positive changes can be made, I have seen so many improvements in my life over the past decade that this mere review cannot contain the full picture. I have much further to go on my journey and haven’t even touched the surface of the wisdom Master Lee has collected. The Bible is esteemed as God’s Word at Lee McField’s Kung Fu Academy. Although I am a sinner and my life has many areas left to change and improve—as long as the Lord allows me to have breath, the hope I get from reading my Bible and then practicing the principles will carry me through to accomplish His purpose. The level of fitness that this lifestyle produces has made aging much less threatening! If Master Lee can have a 6-pack (abs) and guns (biceps) at 50, then what is stopping me in my 40’s? May God continue to bless the mission of Lee’s Chinese Martial Arts Federation. Von Huber
