Bellevue Taekwondo is a family-owned studio, open since 2004 and registered through World Taekwondo, the federation promoting taekwondo as an international sport, which makes it an Olympic-style studio in its own words. Owner and headmaster Master Park is a 6th degree black belt and has taught taekwondo for 14 years. Assistant instructor Rawia Gharaibe, a 4th degree black belt, has been with the studio since it opened. The studio's nonprofit branch, Taekwondo for Kids, is a certifying organization for the President's Volunteer Service Award and gives students volunteer hours.
The studio sums up what it trains for in five words: “Leadership | Endurance | Respect | Confidence | Fun.” It calls taekwondo “an exercise for the body and mind” that anyone can join, and says every class session's workout is different. Classes for kids, teens and adults run on weekday afternoons, and students move up through the belts from white to black. Students compete in regional championships, the studio has a demo team, and students perform for parents and family at events. Private 30-minute lessons with Master Park are available for anyone who learns better one-on-one or is training for competition.
Parents can train alongside their children in the Family Club, evening classes shared by families, teens and adults that run from beginner to intermediate. Kids from age 4 have their own classes.
The first step is a trial week of up to three classes. Membership runs on contracts, signed in person at the studio. The standard uniform, the dobok, is sold by the school, and sparring gear isn't needed until a student reaches orange belt. Visitors are invited to stop by in the afternoon, talk with the front desk and meet Master Park.

Kids and juniors at Bellevue Taekwondo/TKD for Kids
Little Dragons is the program for 4- and 5-year-olds, a head start on taekwondo built around healthy habits, regular fitness and plenty of fun. From there, kids train in weekday afternoon classes grouped by belt level, from beginners at white and yellow belt up to the advanced kids at blue and red stripe. The studio offers discounted rates when several children from one family are enrolled. As they progress, students can perform for parents and family at the studio's events, and the Family Club lets a parent train side by side with a child in the evening.
The studio also offers after-school services, and what they include is a good question for the front desk.
