From the reviews
My son Bellamy loves Master Amy and misses his classes dearly but we are relocated out of state. Trust me we miss it everyday. And none of the places here could beat the price or the content quality for the price
You will always feel welcome there, rather its your 1st time or your 10, 000th time going, everyone becomes another family! It's a great way to learn discipline, respect, self defense and becomes second nature.
My son has been with Master Amy at Parks Taekwondo since he was three. Since taking these classes I can see a major difference in my son. His social skills are amazing. His control, self restraint, discipline and respect have improved. He is very excited to come to the classes. The staff is very nice and sociable.
I have been keeping up with my nephew's progress over the years via WhatsApp, I have had the privilege to go to his classes and see him in action; it really was amazing to see how much he has grown over the years. I absolutely love that he has been exiled under the guidance of his instructors.
Your first taekwondo class at Park's Taekwondo Academy
Nervous about walking into a taekwondo school for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good instructors expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic stances, blocks, and kicks with a partner or on pads — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: loose athletic wear you can move in (or a dobok if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the floor. What to bring: water and a positive attitude — many schools lend a loaner dobok for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll get your own dobok and belt, and sparring gear (mouthguard, headgear, and guards) once you begin sparring. Sparring eases in gradually, once your fundamentals and forms are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the instructor. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
