This Dojang was GM Park's second location and grew out of need
to expand to a larger facility.

GM Park established the tradition of the annual summer picnic as a day for all our schools to come together for a day of fun, games and food
(lot's of food!).
The summer picnic affords us a chance to meet other students and instructors from our branch schools, and it gives us a chance to meet their families and friends, too in an atmosphere of relaxed fun.
He also created the tradition of awarding Black Belt Certificates, school awards, and other signs of gratitude to the many people that make Park's Martial Arts such a unique family of schools. |
