Master Park Martial Arts International

What Master Park Martial Arts International does

Master Park Martial Arts International is a privately held, founder-led martial arts instruction business headquartered at 212 Boardman Canfield Road in Boardman, Ohio. Founded and anchored by Senior Grand Master Park, who has been teaching authentic Oriental martial arts for over 55 years, the organization delivers in-person private, semi-private, and group classes in 14+ disciplines including Hapkiyudo, Taekwondo, Karate, Judo, Jujitsu, Hapkido, Aikido, Hwarangdo, Krav Maga, Dahn, Taichi, and Kigong. Programs target ages 4-85 and are tailored by segment: kids, teens, ladies, adults, seniors, families, police/military/security personnel, sports teams, and corporate clients. A separate Instructor's Program, Black Belt Program, and Master Programs create an internal instructor pipeline, and a Summer Martial Arts Camp provides episodic seasonal revenue.

The company monetizes through a mix of one-time private lessons, recurring group memberships, paid corporate wellness and self-defense programs, summer camps, and gift certificates. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; free consultation is offered via phone (330-965-9000) and online enrollment. Distribution combines direct instruction at the Boardman facility with onsite delivery at schools (Youngstown State University, Boardman Schools, Canfield Schools, and others), corporations, police/military training sites, and community events such as the Canfield Fair. The organization has historically operated multiple branch locations across Ohio and Virginia.

Beyond instruction, the firm has built a portfolio of nine registered trademarks and operates branded event properties including the U.S. Martial Arts Championship, World Hi-Ya Challenge, World Hapkiyudo, and Miss/Mr. Martial Arts titles. It holds partnership-level recognition from the State of Ohio Senate, Korean Lions International, and three U.S. Presidents (Clinton, Bush, Obama). A separate-but-affiliated nonprofit, Citizens, Communities & More Inc. (CCM), runs the Stellar Academy youth leadership and citizens health & safety programs from the same facility. Marketing is organic, channeled through Facebook pages (MasterParkUSA, MasterParkHiya), a company blog, and referral/word-of-mouth.
