National
The Park Institute is very proud to have hosted two national tournaments; one of only two schools in the nation to have accomplished this. Both tournaments attracted Tae Kwon Do students nation-wide to Minnesota. Grandmaster Park's efforts in bringing quality Tae Kwon Do competition to our state has boosted both revenue and tourism for Rochester and St. Paul.

The 1989 Junior Olympics, held at the Mayo Civic Center in Rochester, generated over $3 million in revenue for the city and attracted 10,000 competitors and visitors. It was the single largest sporting event in Rochester's history.

The 1993 National Championships, held in St. Paul, was the first round in competition to choose members of the 1993 US National Tae Kwon Do team.

Regional/Local

Each year, the Park Institute holds several inter-school tournaments and an annual Rochester Open Tae Kwon Do tournament. These tournaments give students a chance to engage in friendly competition and win medals/prizes. There are also opportunities to attend other regional tournaments in the twin cities, Wisconsin, and surrounding states.
