Introductory Program Requirements
  • Parents must stay for the Introductory Classes.  Anyone involved in the decision making process should attend the introductory classes.
  • Training sessions require loose clothing.

Positive Action Family Programs
Families training together develop team spirit.  Our programs will develop and strengthen the unity of the family.  When individuals work together for a common goal as a team their individual talents will naturally improve.

It is more natural for parents and children to get along than to be at odds with each other.  Our programs help to create a strong family bond by instilling a life long loyalty.  The whole family can learn to live up to their full potential.

Convenient Tuition Arrangements
Our connection with the Educational Funding Company, allows you to budget your tuition over time, instead of paying for it all at once.  This makes Karate affordable for everyone.


Regular Programs


Award-Winning Children’s Programs
We are very concerned with the well being and education of children.  We understand that younger students have a shorter attention span.  Our unique children’s program use interesting and enjoyable methods to keep the student’s attention and teach our young students skills that they can use for life.  We believe in praise, encouragement, and positive reinforcement.  We have incentives for good academic report cards.  Students must maintain good academic grades to be promoted to a higher rank.

Rewarding Adult Programs
Pak’s Karate offers adult programs for all skill levels.  We encourage the participation of men, women, parents, and grandparents, because everyone can benefit from the study of Martial Arts.  Our School emphasizes discipline and the value of persisting until goals are reached.  We believe in following a high standard of values to bring out the good and increase the quality of life.  Regular attendance of our special Adult Programs will result in stress reduction and improved health.


Expect Extraordinary Benefits
Positive Self-Image and Pride
A positive self-image leads to success.  To be successful you must learn and practice to have a positive self-image.  Studying the Martial Arts is an excellent way to enhance your self-image and create a rewarding sense of pride.  This motivating force of pride will drive you to accomplish your goals.

Courage to Overcome Fear
Black Belts possess courage.  Courage is a characteristic of winners.  It is a measure of your heart, your desire, and your inner strength.  Courage will keep you from being intimidated by the prospect of failure.  Fear is a natural part of life, but it can drive you to perform better if you have the courage to face it.

Self-Discipline and Respect
At Pak’s Karate we teach the importance of respect for one’s self and others.  All Black Belt students must follow the Student Creed which deals with having a positive attitude and developing self-discipline, self-control, and self-respect.  Students will learn to set goals and be self motivating in achieving them.  A positive mental attitude will evolve.  Our younger students have self-confidence to resist peer pressure and the disastrous effects of drugs and gangs.


Reaching Goals and Objectives
To help students achieve their goals they will be tested regularly and their progress will be assessed.  Achieving a Black Belt is a multi-year goal but along the way there are short term goals to advance in rank and skill level.

Learning to set and achieve goals will help students become more successful in other areas of their lives as well.

Our image at Pak’s Karate is that of a school or university not a gym.  Our curriculum outlines goals and objectives.  A strong classroom structure is the key to our Black Belt Success System - it helps the student stay focused on his or her own goals.

Class Schedules
A class schedule will help you manage your time more efficiently and allow you to take advantage of more opportunities.

A few productive classes a week is all it takes for you to improve your outlook, grow healthier, and live a happier life.

We offer group lessons, and you may inquire about the availability of private lessons.

Our Class schedules were carefully thought out, with the student’s best interest in mind.
