Pai's Taekwondo

I was looking somewhere for my daughter to train once a week. She's already a black belt, this would be just for her to spar and keep her skills sharpen. I don't think any school should turn any student down regardless of how many days they are learning. Is it really about the benefit of teaching someone or more about money? Chris Pai turned down my daughter because he said she won't be able to progress or advance. Electric city BJJ will let her train as many times she like for $75 a month.

My son has been a student here for over a year and I joined myself 6 months ago. We love the staff and the structure of the classes. There are camps during school breaks which are great, too. There is an atmosphere of respect and kindness among everyone who works and trains here and I highly recommend Schenectady Pai’s!

My daughter has been attending taekwondo for 2 years now and she loves it. My only issue with this center is that they don't have classes specifically for teens. I would prefer my teen daughter to train with teens as well. As a mom of a teenage daughter I am not a fan of mixing teens with full grown adults in training. Just my opinion. I wish they can also schedule blackbelters to attend classes with students so if one has no partner they can easily join and be the partner in certain activity. As long as my daughter is happy and learning she will keep attending here.

The staff is amazing and are all great role models for their students to look up too. Master Pai is a wonderful teacher and takes time to focus on all of his students. After a short time enrolled there my son (6 yrs old) showed great improvement in self-discipline and increased confidence. Would highly recommend!

I can not say enough great things about Pai’s TKD! The Schenectady staff is awesome! All the instructors are great with the kids. Professional, patient, great attitude everyday, and personable all while teaching respect, self control and attention ! You feel welcomed when you go there. There are no cliques, or favoritism. Seeing my daughter build confidence and strength is such a great experience. Master Chris Pai has a great curriculum and staff. He makes it fun while working them hard. He’s genuine and you can see his passion and how much he cares for his students. My daughter has never loved something so much! She feels proud and confident as she walks through the doors, as she should. They also run a very fun summer camp for the students. Hearing "Common Mom, I don’t want to leave yet!" That means so much to me! Try the 2 week trial with your kid(s), we did. She didn’t even want to do it and after her first class she said I can’t wait to come back!

We signed our child up to help promote confidence. Since joining a couple years ago, our child now feels comfortable standing up for himself and others, uses his voice, and carries himself with confidence. The team is very organized and provides individualized support to each child. Pai’s goes beyond the sport and provides tools that promote self-confidence, respect, and integrity. Highly recommended!

My son Jayson has been going there for a year now and I love how confident he is now and how much he looks forward to going to class. The staff is equally awesome and really make learning taekwondo easier for the kids. They also do cute mini events like mommy and me classes and valentines parents night out.
