Jul 12, 2012
My son, now 10, began at Park's when he was 6 and they were at their 38th St location in Tacoma. We began there because it was close--very close, and he wasn't limited to the number of classes he could take--at one point doing 10+ hours a week and loving it. But slowly things began to change...first there were limitations placed on classes, then there were increases in cost. But that all paled in comparison to what we saw as the increasing lack of discipline and lack of respect for the parents on the part of the main instructor. We left about 2 years ago after finding a fantastic school in Lakewood where he's had a greater breadth and depth of instruction from instructors that we really like and respect. He also earned his WTF black belt last year and is on the road to his 2nd degree!
