Servicemembers had the opportunity to experience first-hand what it takes to be a world champion mixed martial artist.
“They did everything from striking, takedowns and submissions,” said Lee. “It was beautiful to see them give the techniques a try.”
Lee took the time to coach service members on various techniques for a wide range of experience levels.
“For some of them, this was their first time trying martial arts,” said Lee. “It was a great honor for me to meet everybody who is part of this.”

As a trilateral native of Singapore, the U.S. and Canada, Lee became the youngest person to ever win a world title in MMA by winning the inaugural ONE Atomweight MMA World Championship at the age of 19.
Participants concluded the engagement with photos and signed autographs from Lee.
“I had the phenomenal opportunity to showcase my training as a Marine Corps martial arts instructor by being Angela’s partner as she demonstrated combinations leading into takedowns,” said USS Pearl Harbor combat cargo officer, Chief Warrant Officer Aeryk Church. “If we get another opportunity to have her join us again, I’ll look forward to having a short sparring opportunity and learn even more from a great champion.”
