If you have a child 5-10 years old and youre looking to introduce your child to basic martial arts and displine Pai's can be a fairly good option to instill a good foundation for your child. However if you are looking for anything else stay very far away from Pai's. The pai's business model is based completely off the ignorance of the laymans. Pai's TKD is what's know in the martial arts community as a "McDojo" a school that is interested far more in churning out black belts for a price than they are in providing a legimate martial arts experience. Look no further than their black belt club program, they are very interested in locking their customers into 4 year contracts as it is the only way they can ensure a steady income. Tae Kwon Do as a martial art although having some legimate factors, it is completely ineffective as a self defense system and as a competitive martial arts (I.e. K-1 kickboxing or modern MMA). The pai's know this, as does everyone who has legimate combat sport experience as why they are incentivised to lock their new customers into contracts as their are many many better options on the market. If you are looking for a legimate martial art look for one that focuses on technique, resistance training and active resistance I.e. sparring. Even though sparring is a factor at Pai's, it is a very watered down system under World TKD Federation which boils down to glorified foot tag. It is ineffective in preparing individuals for the chaos that is involved in a real life situation. Ask yourself of the instructors that are present at the school, could they handle a punch in the face? Would they know what to do if someone bigger than them grabbed them and didn't let go?  Would you trust your physical safety to obese men, frail women and 17- 20 year old children? If you do chose to enroll your child at Pai's be very wary of the "STORM" and "SWAT" programs. This is the pair's way of having free labor. Your child can quickly become an indentured servant, espically if they grew up at the school. The yes sir, no sir mentality is instilled from day one at the school, if the pai's become their employers it is extremely hard to say no to them. Enroll you and your child in a legimate martial art and school that focuses on technique and active resistance training such as; jiu jitsu, wrestling, boxing, kickboxing, judo, or muay thai. A martial art that will provide you with legimate skills and actual confidence that comes from defending yourself against a resisting opponent. Not the type of boxed confidence that comes from a new belt every 3 months after remembering a form and paying X amount of dollars. read more

If I could put zero stars I would. As a former student and instructor at this dojang I can honestly say that I will never go back. This is advertised as a school but it isn't. It is first and foremost a business. It overcharges for the little amount that you will actually learn. They tell you to do something but don't actually teach you the right way to do the technique. They don't teach you the reason for anything in forms and they leave out a ton of information in their curriculum and leave out even more forms that they could teach and even more skills that they could teach for real life situations. On top of that, for all the money you pay for classes you also pay for testing for your next rank (of which there are almost three times the amount of belts that you have to earn and pay for). You also pay for all materials you need like sparring gear, weapons, and boards for board breaking. But that money does nothing for anyone but the owners. They will get students into SWAT or STORM (teams of students who help teach the classes) and no matter how long you are there working for them they will refuse to pay for your efforts. I asked them to pay me while I was working for them and they refused. I worked there to the point that I hurt myself by overworking one of my joints and they did not care. The instructors and owners wouldn't even say hi or ask how I was. I wasn't useful anymore. You can't trust the owners and you can't trust most of the instructors. Since I left I found a new dojang that is a million times better than this place. Do not trust any Pai's location!!! read more

I joined Pai's TKD right after my dad died. I was almost 40, out of shape, low self esteem. They worked with me, as they do others, to teach self defense, tools to use in life - without realizing it. It's more than forms, sparring, nunchucks and self-defense. It's about leadership, mentorship what you've learned. On a personal level, Pai's TKD helped me rebuild myself from the inside out at a time I needed it most. It's 2016 and I am currently working on my 3rd Degree black belt.. I wasn't too old to start.. I CAN do it and I keep doing it. I have the focus and determination to make it happen. I have another family that cares about my well being. I've also seen kids grow up - and they are respectful, on the right path in life. They have a great foundation to be our community's leaders. I can't say enough about how much this school has done - not only for me, but for so many. I am only 1 of the thousands of stories. A Black Belt is a White Belt who never gave up. read more

Expensive prices and long term contracts offset their decent program. Cancellation can be a bear. read more
