Hi my name is Master Jong Park and I am a 4th Dan Master Instructor in Se Jong Taekwondo- City.  I first began Taekwondo at the age of six in Busan, Korea.

Being a shy boy, I had to start with my Dad and younger sister and we moved through the belts together. Growing up, I played many sports and participated in many group activities with kids of my own age, but Taekwondo was the only activity I was able to do with my family.

I earned my 3rd Dan black belt just before I graduated from primary school and our family migrated to New Zealand in April, 1994.  After a long struggle to find a good club, in year 2000, I began taking Taekwondo classes again at Se Jong Taekwondo as a university freshman and quickly fell in love with the club.

As much as I enjoyed training as a young kid myself, I enjoyed every opportunity that was given to help with class instruction, especially to young Korean kids who are going through the same learning curve as I was -settling in in their new foreign home, NZ.  I was honored to share my passion for Taekwondo, assisting each student to train their body and mind, one punch and one kick at a time.

Later on in 2001, I started to take my own class in Local Korean School and also Se Jong  Takapuna club in AUT's Akoranga Campus.

In 2008, I attended Beijing Olympic game in support of Master Oh and realised a great potential for Taekwondo to become a true global sports.   Since then, my Goal was set to establish a Wellbeing Taekwondo Fitness Centre which will encourage more students to join and enjoy the disciplines and values which Taekwondo teaches that will run through the fabric of society and once adopted last a lifetime.  

I'm Looking forward to share my passion and love for Taekwondo with you and your family.
