My Biography

Mike Lee, Owner and Director of the Princeton Academy of Martial Arts, began his martial arts journey over 20 years ago. His martial arts lineage can be traced back directly to the legendary Bruce Lee, who passed the art onto Guro Dan Inosanto, Bruce Lee’s protege. Guro Inosanto in turn taught Sifu Rick Tucci, who was Mike’s primary instructor in the Martial Arts. Mike became one of Rick’s top Instructors in Jeet Kune Do and the Filipino Martial Arts as well as receiving instructorship directly under Guro Dan Inosanto. Following the 27 year legacy that Sifu Tucci has paved, Mike eventually became the Head Instructor and Sifu at the Princeton Academy of Martial Arts.

"Mike was an excellent instructor - patient and extremely knowledgeable. It was my very first time holding a gun and he not only demystified it, but made me comfortable and made it a great experience. I would recommend the class to anyone at any level. "

"Excellent training and outstanding instructors. As a complete beginner with virtually no firearms experience, I was initially intimidated, especially since many students had military or extensive firearms backgrounds. The instructors were patient, professional, and safety-focused throughout the entire class. What stood out most was that the training wasn’t just about shooting—it was about judgment, responsibility, and making good decisions under pressure. They created a safe, supportive, and enjoyable learning environment while still challenging students to think. I left with far more knowledge and confidence than I expected. I would highly recommend this class to anyone, whether you’re brand new to firearms or have years of experience."
