From the reviews
I been training MMA for a while, and I had the pleasure to train under Master Sunny at Paek's. He helped develop my side kick/front kick and really helped me understand the mechanics of the kick better than anyone. I was very inspired by Master Sunny's wisdom and passion when it comes to teaching martial arts.
This is incredible taekwondo club with so talented coaches and students. I came from Kazakhstan for getting interns experience and enjoyed the training process a lot! Thanks to the Masters ✊🏻
I researched numerous Taekwondo schools in the Philadelphia area before choosing Paek’s. When I was reading about the school, what initially caught my attention was the history. I love the fact that it’s a family owned business and it’s pretty awesome that it’s been around for so long.
Master Sunny is wonderful with children. He approaches with warmth and encouragement while introducing discipline and authority. My child has so much respect for Master Sunny and the TKD principles, like integrity and courtesy (so much so that sometimes she tells me "Don't tell me Master Sunny!
New to taekwondo? Start at Paek's Tae Kwon Do School
Paek's Tae Kwon Do School comes up as a beginner-friendly school, going by their listing and students’ reviews. If you've never trained or set foot in a dojang, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and instructors scale the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable schools build fundamentals (stances, blocks, kicks, and basic forms) for weeks, sparring eases in gradually and with gear on, and instructors keep it controlled and safe. Third, all ages and all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most schools are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first taekwondo class at Paek's Tae Kwon Do School
Nervous about walking into a taekwondo school for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good instructors expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic stances, blocks, and kicks with a partner or on pads — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: loose athletic wear you can move in (or a dobok if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the floor. What to bring: water and a positive attitude — many schools lend a loaner dobok for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll get your own dobok and belt, and sparring gear (mouthguard, headgear, and guards) once you begin sparring. Sparring eases in gradually, once your fundamentals and forms are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the instructor. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
