Jong Soo Park Institute of Taekwon-do

I started attending classes here 9 weeks ago on the recommendation of friends that have achieved their black belt through this school. It was founded and is actively run by Grandmaster Jong Soo Park who was on the original Taekwondo demonstration team in the 60’s and has a long career filled with many achievements and has many accomplished students.
The school is very organized and there’s always another black belt but sometimes many (I’ve been in classes with 6+) to help out. Classes start with a group warm up and line drills. The busiest classes of 20 – 30 are on Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 6pm and Saturday at 11. The kids classes are at 5 and classes at 7 seem to be smaller but still taught by one of Grandmaster Park’s blackbelts.
The classes are physically and mentally challenging and I’m getting in better shape. The students have been friendly. I’ve definitely met very cool people.
The space itself is very big, well equipped and maintained. The most you will pay for unlimited classes is 100/​month on a monthly plan but yearly students that can pay upfront receive a heavy discount that works out to just over 60/​month. Of course these prices might change so don’t hold me to it! So far so very good!
