IT'S A NO NO!!! DO NOT USE THIS FAKE, SO CALLED "SCHOOL" OR AFTERCARE FOR YOUR KIDS! None of them cares about those kids, It's all about the "MONEY". THE GRAND MASTER HIRED A BUNCH OF TEENAGERS TO WORK THERE WITH NO EXPERIENCE AND NO PROFESSIONALISM AND HAVE THE AUDACITY TO NAME THEM "TEACHERS" WHO CAN'T EVEN RESOLVE A 3RD GRADER'S ADDITION PROBLEM. THE ONLY ONE TEACHER, SO TO SPEAK THEY HAVE THERE FOR 50 KIDS IN AFTERCARE, IS SO RETARDED AND DOES NOT HAVE ANY CERTIFICATIONS, NOT EVEN AS A SUBSTITUTE TEACHER. SO THE GRAND MA... read more

This school is excellent!!! My son has developed so much since starting here. The instructors are fantastic and Grand Master Park is on site often and really connects with these kids. It is a positive , family friendly atmosphere yet disciplined. I think today's kids lack discipline and Parks really enforces that old school respect. Now both my kids are at the summer camp for the first time at Parks and they never want to leave!!!! Awesome place we love it!!!!

The negative reviews on here are actually very accurate. I have always thought that people who wrote such strong reviews were just angry they couldn't get out of a contract. The owner IS very arrogant and makes it very clear he doesn't have to address any concerns you may have for your child/ren because he has you in a very one sided contract. He yells & screams at adults during any discussion where you are questioning his practices. Please take the time to read the contract. It is very one-sided and he holds you to it. I am... read more

This place is just okay. They could use some improvement with in their classes. They don't take enough time with new students. I am a black belt and I always have white belts in my class who clearly need a class of their own to learn the basics. The staff is okay but they don't always greet you. I leaving when my contract is up. I have found a better school who is serious about Tae Kwon Do. This place is okay for children not adults.

ALL FOUR OF MY BOYS HAS BEEN AT PARK'S FOR OVER 11 YEARS MY OLDEST IS A 4TH DEGREE BLACK BELTS AND COMPETES ON A NATIONAL LEVEL. WHAT THEY HAVE DONE FOR MY FAMILY IS BEYOND WORDS. MASTER PARK OLD SCHOOL WAYS AND WISDOM IS EXACTLY WHAT WE NEED TODAY'S SOCIETY. TRADITIONAL FAMILY VALUES AND RESPECT IS WHAT YOU'LL FIND AT PARK'S, AUTHENTIC KOREAN MASTERS TEACHING IS WHAT YOU'LL EXPERIENCE, NO OTHERS COMPARES TO THEM.

Owners force to get into a contract to be able to teach kids and provide services. Their teaching is very inconsistent, techniques are not corrected and they create their own belt system to be able to charge more to the parents for level graduations that are not even real. My child is supposed to be a black belt (and even got charge for every single graduation belt), but when we went to a tournament, we learn that his knowledge and technique did not match other schools black belt level, he ended up fighting with a red belt t... read more

It cracks me up that someone would be upset about signing a contract. It's so that you don't give up on your kids. You have to set an example for them by sticking it out. The real example that has been set is for the kids by the instructors. Discipline, perseverance, courtesy, modesty, etc.... These are all things are kids are not learning from their ELECTRONICS!
