Our family moved to Saratoga last fall and Master Pai’s quickly became one of our regular haunts. Both our boys are enrolled in taekwondo classes where they learn basics of TKD which are expertly intertwined with lessons in healthy living, striving in school, being a contributing family member and keeping your room clean(well, we’re still working on that last one). The instructors(led by Master Pai’s daughter) are caring, patient and supporting and kids(and also adult students) at all levels have fun. There are regular extracurricular events and recognitions and we’ve made friends here. But there is real TKD instruction going on as well… at times we’ve lingered to watch a black belt class and it’s amazing what the advanced students as well as instructors can do when they’re not focused on younger kids. They are especially welcoming to new students and their website(as well as local newspapers) frequently have coupons for free or discounted lessons. And there are lots of other locations in the region if Saratoga doesn’t happen to be convenient to you.
