After taking this class I definitely want to get punching gloves & gloves and continue the skills in the future. I highly recommend anyone to join and Try them out.

This place is horrible to do business with. My child attended for 1 year and his last attendance…read morehere was for their summer camp, which I paid for in full. I made the mistake of signing another contract while my son attended summer camp and my son decided he didn't want to return after summer camp. Mr. Chu the owner would not honor this even though my son never attended any classes under the new contract, he persists to charge me monthly. But the worst part is that what I paid in cash when I paid in full, he is denying I EVER paid! And since I didn't get a receipt because I trusted him at this time, I have no proof. What an awful scam on his part. While my son did enjoy when he went here, how all this went down business wise is absolutely unacceptable and unprofessional. I would never do any business with Paks Academy Liberty and I tell everyone I know the same thing

My son started taekwondo when he was 5 years old, in the Little Tigers program. We had tried other…read moremartial arts studios before and Master Henrich was by far the best instructor we had seen. He ran the entire class of 7-9 5 year olds all by himself. Other places had barely been able to contain smaller classes with more adults helping. He is able to keep the kids entertained and engaged while still having them learn the fundamentals and basics of taekwondo. All of the black belts/instructors have immense patience with all the students. They take time with each person to make sure they understand the techniques and skills they need to learn. My son and I now both take classes together and it has been an amazing experience to be able to learn side by side with him and watch him grow. I couldn't imagine a better place that I could have started this journey with my son, and we will continue for many years to come.
