ASANTE RASHID LEE

Asante’ Rashid Lee is an audacious 10 year old Brown Belt. He began his martial arts training at the age of 7, under the excellent instruction of his father Nathaniel Lee – a Black Belt in Tae Kwon-Do and a certified Muay Thai instructor.

Today, Asante’ a.k.a. the “Silver Dragon” represents Kyoshi, Lacy Green Jr. and the Universal Elite Fighting System. He anxiously started training with Kyoshi, Green in 2001 at the Thunder Zone Dojo located in Fayetteville, NC. A short time later he became a dominant member of “Team War Angel” competing on the Martial Arts Tournament Tour (M.A.T.T.).

Under the instruction of his father and Kyoshi, Green, Asante’ won numerous 1^{st place trophies, the 2002 M.A.T.T. championship in
novice traditional Kata and 1st runner-up in sparring all during his
first year of competition.}

^{During 2003 the “Silver Dragon” added several notable
accomplishments to his Forming list as he once again became the M.A.T.T.
champion in intermediate Kata and 1st runner-up in sparring. He also
displayed his diversity & determination by getting a 3rd place
finish in traditional weapons.
Asante’ spends at
least 4-5 days per week training at home with his competition coach at
the Lee Family Dojo…not to mention the long hours he spends at the
Thunder Zone.

Asante’ not only
excels in martial arts but also in school, where he is an academically
gifted honor roll student at Sherwood Park Elementary.

When he’s not in school or training he enjoys doing what most boys
enjoy; like playing games on his Play Station 2 and being outside with
his friends.
Asante’s goals for his
bright future are to earn his Black Belt by his 11th birthday, January
25, 2005 and to become the NBL Junior Black Belt champion in Kata and
Sparring
