Parks Taekwondo

No body knew what we were getting into when we started. There are other karate schools here in the area and they promise you the world. My grandson had been in a previous karate school 2 years prior. It was loud and wasn't given much assistance and left him on his own. He was intimidated, the instructors were not hands on and we didn't see any reason why to continue. There was nothing at all tied into there classes for building self esteem or confidence. All they offered was karate moves. Nothing they promised was achieved and his behavior was the same or worse. Their martail arts program follows through with their job lists, school teacher approval lists for graduations. We the adults are highly involved with their progress and assisting the children with everything that is required at Parks Martial Arts. to achieve. This is a 2nd home that I wouldn't find anywhere else.

We were in living in anxiety a year ago, I used to get a lot of phone calls at work from school all the time with my son. This summer was wonderful. I could literally go to work and not worry about being called or having to leave work. What a relief. After the summer was over I was like WOW I went through a whole summer without ONE phone call. The two following years I got calls all the time from his summer camp counselors and had to leave work and pick him up. For me as a single mom, I have to work, I have to bring in the income and at the same time I need a safe structured program for my son. The other summer camps were loose, you could wonder anywhere, he would come home without shoes, lose his belongings and was always in trouble. This summer was the best thing ever. It was worth 10x what the other camps were charging. I would like for him to attend all the Summer Camps.

I am 53 years old and I came to Parks Martial Arts after someone told me about it and I wanted to see what all the excitement was about. I signed up and very glad that I did. I wasn't in very good shape, I did the Recreation Center for a few months then I stopped. It's great to workout with everyone that has the same goals as me and I am happy about that. I started in the nutrition part of the Program to challenge myself with what I am eating, how I am eating and it has given me more energy and balance in my life. The nutrition meetings help keep you on track and motivated.
