We LOVE Master Park!
He is a superior instructor and is amazing with our young children.
My husband is from South Korea, and is a black belt in Tae Kwon Do, so it was a simple choice for us as far a WHICH style of martial arts to teach our daughter...WHERE to send her was the laborious decision.
YOU CAN'T GO WRONG WITH MASTER PARK.
We live in Castle Rock & have several choices close to home. I had some first hand knowledge about Han Won Lee (the big do jang in CRock), and did not like what I was hearing or seeing from him....mostly a pursuit of commercialism & deterioration in master student relationship.
I checked the internet & talked to people I knew, and upon a BIG 2 thumbs up referral from an 8 year old young lady & her parents, we went with PARK'S TAE KWON DO. It takes us about 17 minutes from the south side of Castle Rock, and is so worth the extra 10 minute drive.
My daughter started with Master Park when she was 3 years old, and she has loved it since day one. She talks, walks & dreams Tae Kwon Do. She practices everyday all on her own volition, I don't even need to suggest she do so... and now my 2 year old daughter is excited & interested in it also... she counts in Korean, asks if we are going to TKD & always is excited to see "Maer Park"...I am excited to enroll her when she turns 3 and I also plan to enroll myself and attend with my daughters together during the Family Class.
Master Park instructs his own classes and the only assistant I've ever seen him use is his daughter, who is a black belt herself. The children are rewarded for good effort, complimented on excellence and encouraged when improvement is needed. Tuition is cheaper than the other academies that I checked with, and it is pay as you go monthly. I believe there is a discount for additional family members to enroll. There are 12 belt colors (less than other academies) and there is a belt test fee for each advancement ( this is standard, but less belts means less fees, NOT less knowledge). The class scheduling is done by age and belt level, but is flexible enough to accommodate school schedules, other activities and different aged siblings.
If you've been looking for the best Tae Kwon Do place to send yourself or your kids to...look no further,
PARK'S IS THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more
