Families practice self-defense at Boardman Park event

ATA Black Belt Academy in Boardman recently hosted “Taekwondo in the Park” classes for students, their parents and friends in Boardman Park.

The instructors reviewed self-defense moves and taught new techniques that any person young or old can use to keep themselves from being abducted or harmed.

Proper board breaking techniques were carefully reviewed before everyone got a chance to try breaking a board.

Students, friends and parents ranging from 4 to 50-years-old came from Boardman, Poland, Canfield, Campbell, Lowellville and even Pulaski, Pa.
