This is a great place for Tae Kwon Do when you are paying them monthly. But when you asked to stopped the payment as our son stopped having interest in more training. They only offered us credit for future classes when we know our son doesn't want to take anymore classes. I tried to resolve the issue with them and their Master but they still insisting on giving me credit. I told them the credit is useless if our son doesn't want to take the class. How can we force our son to take something if he has no more interest in it? Therefore make sure if you are going to stop taking their classes, make

We brought our daughter to Hong Park TaeKwondo because she wanted to try and we found a groupon. I'm glad that this is the school we ended up at. The instructors are great with the students. They are patient, understanding, and teach and expect respect while allowing the students to enjoy themselves and grow. I enjoy watching the instructors interact with their classes.

My daughter participated in a trial class in 2012 and she continues to want to go to multiple classes every week. Incredible cardio, strength, discipline, self confidence and leadership skills have evolved. Thanks Hong Park!

My kids love Hong Park TKD cause of the sense of community & fun they have. The instructors act with respect, & model everything they teach: values, & skills. They are encouraging, kind, & understanding. Their instructors are also very, very good at TKD from Mr. Park all the way through. I love that they don't have contracts either; they stand behind their product!
