I have been a student at Paek’s Tae Kwon Do School for almost a year and a half, and have been taking private lessons for several months. I spend about six to seven hours a week here and I look forward to every class. I highly recommend Paek’s Tae Kwon Do School to anyone interested in learning this beautiful martial art. The instructors are exceptionally skilled and experienced, and they create a fun and supportive learning environment for students of all ages, from tiny tots to adults. I have learned so much from them.

I have been a student of Paeks Taekwondo for around 6 weeks and so far my experience has been great. Master Kim sat down with me on my first day there and explained the roots of Tae Kwon Do and the history of the school.I really love how it’s a family business and there is so much experience between the father and son. They make me feel like I was in the right place and I would be properly trained. I had a bad experience with a previous gym and it didn’t take me long to feel like I made the right choice with this one.

I began training at this school when I was just 5 years old, and I've continued for over a decade. It has had a significant impact on my life, both mentally and physically. Here, I developed self-confidence and athleticism under the guidance of amazing and highly professional instructors. We've even competed in state and national competitions for AAU, earning a gold medal at the New Jersey State Championships. The training quality is excellent, and the skills I've acquired here are invaluable and will stay with me forever. It's definitely a place worth investing your time in.

When I was in the process of relocating to Philadelphia, I reached out to several taekwondo schools, and Paek's stood out as the most enthusiastic about welcoming me. I had a conversation with Master Sunny over the phone at the end of August 2023, while I was still in Connecticut, during which I expressed my interest in competitive sparring and provided details about my taekwondo background.Since that initial phone call, I have not looked back on my decision. Through one-on-one lessons with Master Sunny, my technique and stamina have significantly improved, and I've also gained valuable insights into other aspects of taekwondo, as well as life in general. These lessons have not only honed my skills but also impacted my sleeping habits, nutrition, breathing, and mindfulness of my consumption.Since September 2023, I've been having private lessons with Master Sunny, and the experience has been nothing short of wonderful. Each session is customized to help me reach my goal of entering the competitive sparring scene. Master Sunny's keen eye for detail is crucial in a taekwondo instructor, given the sport's plethora of intricate movements and stances.Thanks to the diligent practice of the homework assigned to me between lessons and maintaining my overall fitness at a local gym, my progress has been impressive.I also appreciate the rich history of Paek's and how it continues to contribute to its family, the local community, and the taekwondo community's legacy. After one of my lessons with Master Sunny, I was journaling the knowledge I had just gained when Grandmaster Kim struck up a conversation with me. He inquired about my taekwondo background, and I shared my childhood experience of attending Red Tiger Taekwondo in Philadelphia. At the mention of Red Tiger, Grandmaster Kim's eyes lit up, and he began to narrate the story of how he had trained one of the late higher Dons of Red Tiger. Not only did he train the Don, but he also trained the Don's children—a testament to the community impact! Grandmaster Kim concluded his story by asking, "Do you want to see a picture?" I replied, "A picture? Sure." He left the seating area, retrieved what appeared to be an 8" x 10" vintage picture of himself, the former higher Don, and the Don's children at a promotion ceremony. I was truly awestruck by the tangible and rich legacy of Paek's.No matter what motivates you to pursue taekwondo, I wholeheartedly recommend Paek's. The instructors are knowledgeable and patient, catering to both children and adults. It's an empowering community that will leave you eagerly anticipating your next lesson each time you walk out the door.

I came here years ago with my sister after our grandma signed us up for classes. I kept doing it for 7 or 8 years and I really liked it. They not only taught me traditional forms and techniques, but also a variety of skills like self-defense and how to fall safely. The control over my body and the importance of fitness I learned still stick with me now.

We enrolled our son William at Paek’s to help build his self esteem while getting some physical exercise. Our son started at 5 and was very shy and timid the first few sessions. Grandmaster Kim was very patient while expertly motivating our son to participate and boost his confidence. Our son has been attending for about 6 months now and looks forward to every Thursday class with both Grandmaster Kim and Master Sunny. The classes are perfect for our son who enjoys structure but also being challenged. Looking forward to seeing him progress through the belts while learning important life skills as he grows.

Grew up going here when I was a kid and absolutely loved it. Grandmaster Paek is a beast himself and cares deeply for each of his students. He works hard to teach discipline, hard work, and respect. Highly recommend!

We are so glad we found Paek's Tae Kwon Do School! My two children (6 & 9) have very different strengths and challenges and both Grandmaster Kim and Master Sonny have done so much to encourage them, build their confidence, and to help them learn the importance of self-defense and discipline. Thanks for all that you do Master Sonny and Grandmaster Kim!

I cannot express enough how satisfied I am with the taekwondo classes provided by Master Sonny and Master Kim. My son has experienced an incredible journey under their expert guidance. Through their dedicated instruction, my son has become immensely capable in self-defense, sparring, and board-breaking. They both have a remarkable teaching style, breaking down complex techniques into manageable steps while providing individual attention. The emphasis on self-defense skills has empowered my son, boosting his confidence and personal security. The focus on sparring has improved his agility and strategic thinking, fostering discipline and teamwork. Witnessing my son successfully break boards has been a source of immense pride. Master Sonny's passion, expertise, and ability to connect with students makes hiim an exceptional taekwondo instructor. I highly recommend them for anyone seeking an outstanding martial arts experience.

A very helpful place with a very helpful and patient instructor Master Sunny. Training hard towards my goals and I’m confident that I’ll get there training under Paeks taekwondo.
