The first HTA Academy was founded
in July of 2005 by Master Young Jin Lee. His vision
was to create solid, well-rounded training and strong
family values to help each individual gain the opportunity
to live a happier, healthier life with tools to
create a successful future. Since then H.T.A. has
been helping the communities of St. Clair and Madison
Counties by participating in community events and
giving our students a strong foundation in their
lives by helping them to set goals, strive for greater
academic achievement, to believe in themselves and
have hope for a brighter tomorrow.
HTA has become widely recognized
and respected throughout the taekwondo community
with our Hallelujah Demonstration Team performing
demonstrations in various locations including St.
Louis, MO, Chicago, IL, New York and Atlanta, Georgia.
