**Warning** Do NOT send your minor Children to their AFTERSCHOOL or Summer Camps. I have known and…read morebeen associated with Master Kim and his school, since he started in 2011, when he started out in Webster Groves. Many even know I've supported them for years on social media. Thus, I pass all of this with a heavy heart. I feel an obligation to pass this, as a lot has been overlooked, and as a parent, I've been concerned for my children's safety, and mental well-being while attending the afterschool and Summer camps the past 2 years. I have always been a supporter of his school for TKD, and their recent expansion for the AFTERSCHOOL and now SUMMER Camp program. I will say to parents - send your children at your OWN RISK. I am not speaking of his regular TKD classes, which still instructs their students in the TKD style they are known for. For example, their staff during these programs are minors. They are not accredited childcare providers, I don't even believe they are CPR/First Aid Certified to name one that should be obvious. Yes, they have adults on staff but the adults don't even have their "eyes" on our children during the day. They have installed security cameras recently, but these do not replace "supervision" which it has lacked. My recent concern is of the "minor" instructors being reported to "hit" our children. This, in my book is a red flag. That instructors do not have the maturity to understand "appropriate" behavior with our children. The school has also notified me (2 weeks before school starting and paying the registration fee early) that my child has now been "waitlisted" for the afterschool program (2025 school year) because they "short-staffed," and this message was passed by the staff to me, after asking them to investigate these acts of "hitting" by the caretakers. Unacceptable. Therefore, parents, if you see "red flags" it's probably true. "Trust your gut" and I'm truly disheartened by this school and the management. Again, I am not negative on obtaining education in TKD. I do myself, possess a Black Belt in TKD and have always been a fan of #minoritybuisnesses and #martialarts. I am not a fan of lack of supervision when it comes to child-care/afterschool/camp, which is so unfortunate in this case.

Park's Martial Arts became a family affair for my family--starting with my kids when they were in…read moreelementary school and Middle School. I was so impressed with, not only the physical skills they were learning, but also with the discipline and respect which was garnered by Grand Master Parks and all of the instructors. These positive traits have stayed with them as they have grown and headed off to college. As my kids attained their First Degree Black Belts, they encouraged (dared) their old mom to have a go. 4 1/2 years later with the encouragement of Grand Master Parks, his wife, the instructors and fellow students, this old gal has lost 15 pounds, has tons more energy and brain power and is working towards her Third Degree Black Belt. Husband hopped on the band wagon too! Can not begin to tell you all the positive things Park's Martial Arts has done for me....

I have to say, I was pretty iffy about this place. But unlike other places I've seen, this place the owner and also grand master is 100% Korean. So that got me to trust a bit more. The instructors, at first, I had doubts but as my kids continued with he two weeks and beyond, they were very nice. Master Nathan, instructor Como ( sorry if I didn't spell it right), Instructor Diane and instructor Yoon are great. I can see and tell by their body movements, posture, stance that it's correct and they, of course knows what they are doing. Including Grand Master Park, those instructors are fun but also serious. They make classes fun and interesting. Not too strict not too serious but not too fun either. I little bit of everything so it balances out. After the 2 weeks trial you have the option to continue or not. I can choose between 1 yr or 3yrs, each is $135/per student. The 3yrs option is the Dan black belt. You get a 2nd uniform and the sparring items and nunchucks. Which is great. I got the one year option but Grand Master Park told me, I can switch them over to the 3yr choice. The 3yrs choice, u have to pay, I think 6 months of tuition in advanced. But he was kind enough to let us go 6 months of the reg one yr choice then we can switch over. Because then we would already have paid 6 months tuition. Thanks Grand Master Park! I highly re comment this place. Grand Master Park has 2 locations, on here and one in Big Bend.
