I'm indescribably grateful for Park's early influence in Newfoundland. Because of the PTF school here, now we have 10+ schools in the provincial association, a number of junior and senior national champs and we're working on our own distinct competition circuit. Without GM Park we'd never have any of that, it'd still be five or six generic martial arts schools teaching in their own little bubble. Taekwondo is still not easy to support here but at least we're united.
That's what it is all about what you wrote above, gratitude and unification. You said the magic words. Your association is on the right track. If things work out, perhaps we can one day we can invite your provincial team for an exchange training session at our Olympic Training Center.
