⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We’ve had such a wonderful experience at Y.H. Park! My 4 year-old son absolutely loves coming to class — the instructors are so patient, encouraging, and great with kids! In just a short time, he’s learned focus, respect, and even how to count to 10 in Korean! It’s amazing to see his confidence grow each week. I can’t recommend this school enough for any parent looking to build discipline and confidence in their child.

Master Park, his family and all the taekwondo family on this trip to South Korea was memorable. They were so welcoming, humble and great to be with. I had so much fun and can’t wait to do it all over again. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

They did the most important thing, which helped our decision. They greeted my wife right away answered all of her questions. We have had other experiences that were not as accommodating. We appreciate people who appreciate us. Thank you

We have only just begun to attend classes but we couldn't be happier. Everyone is so very nice. The instructors are terrific...so patient and welcoming. I love how there are multiple instructors for each class and the way they rotate around. It's great to see how they switch up the activities every few minutes so the kids are engaged. I'm sure my daughter will go a long way here.

We can only be thankful for this place. A place with a long history, with the most qualified owners and instructors in Olympic Taekwondo. Their instructors started as kids in the academy. Besides high technical skills, courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self-control, focus, discipline and building confidence are just some of the values that students learn daily. They love and care for every student, they understand their individual needs, follow their pace and make them flourish to become the best version of themselves. We love the place, but what we really love is each of them, they make the place special, they make you feel family.

My daughter has been going to YH Park Taekwondo for about a year or maybe more and it’s just an amazing Academy. The Masters, instructors, and the assistants are amazing! They are well trained and they are very knowledgeable about the art of taekwondo. They also pay attention to students individually and make them feel comfortable. She has learned not only taekwondo, but also learned about discipline, respect, self confidence, and perseverance. She has made great friends and I’ve met some great friends there too. Highly recommended academy and if anyone joins, they will not regret it 😁

Y. H. Park is a family staple in our home. My husband, daughter and son attend and truly learn from and enjoy their classes.

What sets this studio apart from the rest are the owners and instructors. Each one brings their own knowledge, skill, and support to their students. They have all impacted us in so many ways, and we couldn’t be more thankful.

My son has been attending YH Park Taekwondo Academy since he was six (2022), and he absolutely loves it. This academy is a fantastic place for both children and adults to build discipline, confidence, and focus through martial arts. The masters and instructors are not only highly skilled but also incredibly patient, encouraging, and truly dedicated to their students' growth.

What I admire most is how they combine solid martial arts training with important life lessons like perseverance, respect, discipline, self-control, and self-confidence. My son genuinely looks forward to each class, and we’ve seen noticeable growth in both his physical skills and his attitude.

The academy is always clean and well-organized, and the entire staff is friendly, professional, and welcoming. If you're looking for a meaningful and enriching activity for your child—or even for yourself—YH Park is an exceptional choice.

Y.H. Park Taekwondo Academy has been part of our family for over 15 years. Six family members, some past and some current, have reached black belt or higher. We enjoy learning taekwondo as well as learning about the Korean culture and traditions. Instructors expect and demand respect and help build confidence. We highly recommend Y.H. Park Taekwondo Academy.

I've been attending YH Park TaekwonDo with my kids for several years, and I'm consistently impressed by them. The instructors place a strong emphasis not only on athletic development and discipline, but also on character building and leadership. My kids have grown in their confidence and athleticism, and they've internalized the core teachings of Taekwondo, including honesty, respect,
and self control. As an adult, training here has helped me stay in shape and be more mindful. YH Park is an amazing school for both kids and adults.

My 9-year old daughter has been attending Y. H. Park for just over a year and we love everything about them! The studio is bright and beautiful. Rates are affordable and they’re endlessly flexible with make-ups. The ability to choose which days to attend each week makes it so easy for us to balance our busy schedule while making sure my daughter always gets her classes in. Her inner strength and confidence have soared under the guidance of the encouraging, dedicated, and caring instructors. They are so tuned into each student’s needs and strengths. I most appreciate that their program emphasizes not just athleticism but the importance of being a good person and responsible community member. Really can’t say enough good things about Y.H. Park ❤️

I had my son's 5th birthday in the new Seaford location. The party was so fun!! They played a bunch of games that the kids loved and showed them a little taekwondo. It was really such a good party. My son still talks about splitting the piece of wood and cutting his cake with a real sword! Every parent commented as they left what a great time their child had. Thank you for the great experience!

What can I say about YH Park? We joined shortly before the pandemic began and they were our lifeline to the world over lockdown. My daughter diligently attended her classes on Zoom until it was safe to return to in-person training, and she has just flourished since then. Every single instructor has a passion for tae kwon do and for teaching, and it shows every single day. We are so grateful to Master Park and Grandmaster Park for the culture they cultivate. Our daughter has fallen in love with tae kwon do and we are thankful for their diligence, patience and genuine care for all of their students. There is no place like YH Park.

The Masters and Instructors are very professional, kind and caring. It is a great workout and a great place to develop discipline, strength and good character. I have only been a student for 8 months, but look forward to my journey to becoming a black belt. Thank you Y.H. Park Taekwondo Academy!

A second generation Taekwondo Master, Master Edward and Elliott Park are a gem. YH Park Taekwondo is a school filled with rich history and passion. True Taekwondo leadership passed down form Grandmaster YH Park to Master Edward Park, it a community staple in Levittown, NY. The Masters care about each student’s progress and take time to treat them like family. Students also have the opportunity to train and compete at all different levels. I highly recommend this school!!

You won't find another Taekwondo academy like Y.H Park Taekwondo Academy! It is a great place to have your children learn and master Taekwondo but also learn life values and lessons thru their incredible masters and instructors. They teach discipline, to be responsible, embrace others and to have a positive and strong mind and body.
Everyone is great with children and not only that their adult/teen family classes are awesome!
I have been attending here with my 12y/o daughter and 14 y/o son for the last 3 years and we just love it!

Master Edward and the entire staff went above & beyond for my daughter's birthday! They were SO NICE, polite, helpful and really had fun with the kids! We were a big group and they managed to take care of both the kids and the parents. I have never seen all these kids have this much fun -EVER! They LITERALLY didn't want to leave! The parents were so impressed and many of them said they couldn't wait to come back and have their children take classes and have parties there. Both of my daughter's are so excited to start classes there too! I can't thank you all enough for such a stellar job!

I studied with Grandmaster Park back in 1982 - the classes were always composed of hard work, discipline, concentration and putting forward your best efforts to continually do better. This helped me in my teen years with self-esteem issues and helped develop my leadership skills in the years to come. Fast forward years later, and nothing has changed. Eddie and Elliott Park continue to carry on the tradition of classic TaeKwonDo training, shaping and developing our future leaders. My son has earned his black belt and considering returning soon, my daughter has recently enrolled and absolutely loves it. I thank YH Park TaeKwonDo tremendously for helping me develop the confidence and wisdom I have today.

We live in a time when there are many martial arts schools to choose from; however, they are not all created equal. I have trained at Y.H. Park since 1990 and the experience is unique, enriching, and unlike the experience you can get at any other Dojang. 2013 marked the 40th Anniversary of the Academy's existence. There is a rich history that is tied into the globalization of Taekwondo as an Olympic Sport and the preservation of the traditions of the art.

After all these years of training, the curriculum has continued to evolve and the atmosphere has become one of a new generation of families training together-fathers and sons, mother and daughters, brothers and sisters. I train with my son, my brother, my niece and nephew-that is the type of atmosphere that is fostered.

The school teaches self defense, weapons, forms, sparring and so much more. Most importantly, it teaches about becoming the best person, citizen, and family member you can be. There is something for everyone-children will thrive but adults will be challenged to reach new heights as well.

Whether you have had another martial arts experience, or even if you are a newcomer to the arts, I highly recommend you check out the Y.H. Park Taekwondo Academy.

I have had the great pleasure of having my eleven year old daughter train at Y.H. Park Taekwondo Academy for over two years. What had began as a curiosity has become an indispensable part of her formative years. The schools' ability to provide rigorous, stimulating and well thought out classes on a daily basis is nothing short of outstanding. In addition, the entire staffs dedication to developing the core principles of Taekwondo--respect, humility, perseverance, self control and honesty has produced young people that are not only great students of the sport but people of great character as well.

My family joined the YH Park Academy two years ago after my then 7yr old son attended a birthday party there. Aside from the obvious knowledge and talents of the staff, there was an instant bond between my son and Grandmaster Park that we noticed immediately. The impact that the school has had on his life cannot be understated. I could ramble on about the benefits of self-defense, self-esteem, but any school worth their salt could claim that. What has made the biggest difference for us has been the family atmosphere and support that both my son, and then my wife who joined soon after, have been a part of. It goes well beyond just learning this amazing art. I cannot recommend YH Park Academy more highly.
