Tae Kwon Do Grand Master Young Lee says he believes he knows what’s ailing legions of frustrated golfers — not the least of whom is Tiger Woods — who aren’t playing up to their potential. They may have a fine grip on the club, says Lee, but one vital element has escaped their grasp: ki. Ki, in martial arts, is the concept of steely concentration, of mental focus, and Lee, who is one of the highest-rated grand masters in the martial art of tae kwon do in the world, teaches ki as an essential part of tae kwon do training. But Lee, 55, who lives in Temecula, is also a golfer, and plays to a single-digit handicap. He was, he says, able to lower his handicap to zero mere months after taking his first golf lesson at about age 30 by applying the principles and practices of ki that he had learned in his martial arts training. And, he asserts, he can help others achieve similar results. “Martial arts training and golf are very similar,” Lee says, “in that you’re using your body and your concentration to focus on a target. You want to be acting without thinking.” Lee points to former basketball great and current frustrated golf student Charles Barkley as an example. In his basketball days, Barkely performed at a high level without having to analyze what he was doing while he was doing it. But, says Lee, that’s precisely what he’s doing while performing the golf swing. “His mind gets in the way,” he says. Lee says he combines ki training with strength training for optimal results. “Strength training gives you confidence,” he says, “and that helps you with your mental strength.” It’s that potent combination, says Lee, that allows martial arts masters to break boards and bricks. It also allows golfers to address the ball confidently, and let the mind control the body through the swing. Which is where Lee comes in. In addition to teaching tae kwon do, Lee is coaching golfers of all levels. To learn more, contact Grand Master Young Lee at (951) 553-1114 or at younglee1947@gmail.com. |
