27 Years Ago in Y.H. Park Taekwondo Academy History

27 Years Ago in Y.H. Park Taekwondo Academy History

The New York Times-June 1987


January 31, 2014-  It was the Summer of  1987.   Thanks, in large part, to the work of Grandmasters Yeon Hee Park and Yeon Hwan Park Taekwondo was expanding greatly throughout the United States and the world.    In June, the New York Times, the world's most respected newspaper, prominently featured the Y.H. Park Park Taekwondo Academy in their Sports section, in a feature entitled "A Martial Art Makes Western Friends", establishing nationwide credibility for the sport and for the Dojang.  This was the verge of an explosion of popularity, and this is all part of the proud history of the Y.H. Park Taekwondo Academy.

A word from the presenter:
This is a free one-hour wellness presentation that will review the basics of a healthy living lifestyle. Facts and statistics about what is going on with our health and the health of our children will be mentioned. The focus though is on health and what we can do to be healthier. I am launching my A NEW-R You! 16 week weight and energy rebalancing program, and I will talk about that too. The program itself is free, with my support as a health coach for sixteen weeks. However, people are responsible for the cost of the food based supplements, and their own food of course! There is also a private Facebook support group that comes with the program, a 16 week plan to follow, a recipe book, tips, menu ideas and the support of the coach through the whole time at no charge. 

Thanks so much. I have a mission this year to empower 1000 people to be healthier!

Regards
Rebecca

21 Year Ago In Y.H. Park Taekwondo History

21 Year Ago In Y.H. Park Taekwondo History

Grandmaster Yeon Hee Park (L) and Grandmaster Yeon Hwan Park (1993)

January 6, 2014- The time was July 1993.  The world's most famous Taekwondo brothers and Grandmasters, Yeon Hee Park and Yeon Hwan Park, graced the cover of Tae Kwon Do Times Magazine.

"Best of the Best" is how the esteemed Taekwondo publication characterized these icons of the sport.  Now, over 20 years later and that phrase still applies to "One of the Premiere Martial Arts Schools in the Nation".  This is all part of the proud 40 year legacy of the Y.H. Park Taekwondo Academy.  This magazine cover and many other Taekwondo memories can be found at the Dojang in Levittown, NY.
