The story behind our school
Young Park Martial Arts was founded in 1980 in Korea by Master Young Park, a celebrated Taekwondo champion with over thirty national and provincial titles. His expertise, dedication, and efficient training methods quickly established Young Park Taekwondo as one of the most prestigious martial arts schools in Busan, producing martial artists of the highest caliber.
Seeking a new challenge, Master Park immigrated to Canada in 1993 with the goal of sharing his martial arts expertise and passion with a more diverse audience. The tradition of excellence carried on at the “New” Young Park Martial Arts, and in 1994, he was honored to become the coach of the Canadian National Taekwondo Team.
From 1994 to 1996, Grand Master Park guided Team Canada to numerous victories at the World Taekwondo Championships and Pan-Am Games.
Our philosophy is straightforward: we strive to help our students reach their full potential through well-structured programs that emphasize confidence, discipline, a positive attitude, and mastery of martial arts techniques. With over 40 years of proven teaching methods, we have seen thousands of Young Park students grow into true martial artists, excelling in their personal, academic, and professional endeavors.
