From the reviews
My 8 yr old son has been in Taekwondo classes at PYMA for a year and a half now. The instructors are top notch and the Park family is just wonderful! Very inviting atmosphere and welcoming to everyone! My son has grown so much here already through the values and discipline taught at this martial arts school.
We’re so glad we chose Park’s Yong In Martial Arts for our son. He started in their tiny tigers program and is now about to earn his black belt. The staff here is top notch and so caring. Our son has learned to be more responsible, speak a little in Korean, and has overcome his fear of public speaking.
My daughter has been attending Park’s martial arts school since 2021. She is getting ready to test for her black belt very soon. Her experience at Park’s has been absolutely phenomenal. Not only has she learned a lot, but she has also gained confidence and made many new friends.
Parks Yong-In provides students with a wonderful opportunity to grow as a martial artist and person. From white belt to black belt and beyond, the Park family challenges, encourages, and nurtures students to work towards their personal goals.
Your first judo class at Park's Yong-In Martial Arts
Nervous about walking into a judo dojo for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good sensei expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, learning to fall safely (ukemi), then drilling a throw or two and some groundwork with a partner — not hard randori. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a judogi if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — many dojos lend a loaner judogi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own judogi. Live randori eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the sensei. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
