Paik's Traditional Martial Arts Center

"My son and I have been students at Paik's for six years. My son started when he was five, and the training and discipline have made a huge difference in his life. He learned to focus and apply himself, whether at the dojang or at school, and also developed leadership skills and responsibility. In addition, he's become athletic and learned self-defense skills and confidence that will serve him well throughout his life. The instructors are excellent, and classes are both fun and challenging. The school teaches a variety of styles and weapons and provides many opportunities to compete in tournaments and train at a high level. I highly recommend the school to anyone with a serious interest in martial arts."

"For several decades, Paiks Martial Arts has been a fixture in the Madison area. Dr. Paik ran an amazing school and his son, Grand Master Peter Paik has continued that legacy in his place. My kids (2 of my boys) have been working with the school now for going on 2 years. It’s been a great place for them to learn about discipline and self respect as well as the respect of others. There is no fluff, no Hollywood style karate, just pure and simple self defense, strength and conditioning and a creation of awareness of your surroundings. This has been an amazing experience for the kids and one of the best extracurricular activities that I could imagine for them. They have embraced it. My hope is that they stick with it and are able to carry on the things they are learning for the rest of their lives. Again, Grand Master Paik and his teaching team do an amazing job. I highly recommend this school!"

"Paik's Martial Arts is the best martial arts school in the Madison area. After having done martial arts for 13 years, it's the best school I've been part of. My family and I travel all the way from Beloit, WI-- an hour away from the school-- twice a week just to train because nothing closer to home compares. The instructors truly care about your growth, not just as a martial artist, but as an individual. The emphasis on tradition and discipline is hard to find in other schools. I don't know who I'd be today without such an excellent martial arts program in my life."

"I have many good things to say about Paik’s Traditional Martial Arts. Due to excellent teaching from Master Paik and his other instructors, my son has been challenged physically and mentally. He has learned important life lessons and the meaning of commitment and discipline while competing locally, nationally, and globally. Master Paik continually exposes his students to new ideas and opportunities. Through family classes I have had the opportunity to learn and participate with my son. Beyond the individual benefits to the students, the sense of community at Paik’s is strong. It is a friendly and welcoming place where parents enjoy one another’s company and support one another’s kids."

"Paik's TMAC has been great for our whole family. They offer a wide variety of core classes with the basic plan. Classes are divided based on age and belt level. Several nights a week there are family classes that you can take with your child. For a little more you can sign up for additional classes in weapons training, team training, parents class and cardio class. The whole family can be there 6 nights a week if you want. Prior to joining we looked into several other schools and did not see what we were looking for. At Paik's respect for instructors and classmates is not optional. The equipment is always clean and neatly put away. Instructors are always willing to discuss the goals of you and your child. Students only test when they have enough core classes and demonstrate proficiency. I recommend Paik's to anybody looking for a traditional marital arts school!"
