MASTER INSTRUCTOR
Founded in 2000, Kids Club Martial Arts is the brainchild of Master Franco Parchamento and the fruition of a long-time dream. A 36-year veteran of martial arts, Parchamento’s first encounter with the practice was with the Shotokan on the island of Guam under Grand Master Shiroma. Also a 20-year veteran of the United States Marine Corps, Parchamento continued to master his martial arts skills when he enlisted and was stationed in various cities throughout the United States and Japan.
In 1995, the United States Marine Corps recognized Master Franco Parchamento for his exemplary performance and promoted to Master Sergeant (E-8) of the United States Marine Corps. At the same time, he received orders to be stationed in Okinawa where he met Grandmaster Joe Giampietro. It was Giampietro who encouraged and guided him into opening a martial arts school of his own.
To date, Master Franco Parchamento currently holds a 5th Dan World Taekwondo Federation Kukkiwon Certificate and is a certified United States National Taekwondo Federation Referee.
Kids Club Martial Arts grew from a handful to a current enrollment of over a hundred. With 10 certified instructors, Kids Club Martial Arts covers a broad area of expertise to train individuals of all skill levels.
