Impact Martial Athletics Launches in Fort Lauderdale to Transform Youth Fitness
“Created by leaders in fitness, business, and branding, Impact delivers martial arts, athletics, and life skills to help kids thrive.”
National youth fitness brand combines martial arts, athletic training, and life lessons—now expanding nationwide through franchising.
A powerful new force in youth development has arrived. Impact Martial Athletics is redefining how kids grow stronger, more confident, and more focused—through a fusion of martial arts, athletic performance, and life skills. Built by leaders in fitness, coaching, and national brand-building, the program is purpose-built to scale.
Founded by Shick Park, a nationally recognized youth coach with over 40 years of experience, Impact combines the structure of martial arts with high-energy athletic training and core personal development. Park’s career includes membership on the USA Olympic Taekwondo Committee, operating 20+ martial arts studios, and serving as a successful Orangetheory Fitness franchisee.
“Kids today need more than sports—they need structure, confidence, and purpose,” said Park. “That’s exactly what Impact delivers.”
To take the model national, Park partnered with Tom Richardson, a University of Miami Business School graduate and serial entrepreneur who has built multiple multimillion-dollar ventures. With executive experience at Top 50 Fortune companies and as a New York Times bestselling author, Richardson brings scalable business systems, automation, and strategic innovation. The entire program is powered by a cloud-based SaaS platform and an AI-influenced curriculum designed to personalize growth and deliver consistent, measurable progress.
Creative leadership comes from Melissa Park, a veteran talent manager and branding expert who has worked with top global brands including Disney, Coca-Cola, McDonald’s, and Universal. Melissa ensures Impact connects with families through modern storytelling and digital engagement.
Kristal Richardson, an IFBB Ms. Olympia contender and corporate wellness consultant, brings expertise in performance training, youth motivation, and lifestyle coaching. Her influence ensures kids not only build strength—but also long-term wellness habits and confidence.
