Affiliated dojo — reviews and the dojo's own info point to a recognized Karate style organization or franchise (think Shotokan/JKA, Kyokushin, Goju-Ryu, Isshinryu, Tiger Schulmann's or Villari's). If lineage matters to you, ask which style and organization the dojo belongs to, and under whom the head sensei earned their black belt.

The classes they run
“I would highly recommend them, they even have after school classrooms to help kids with their academics too!”
“However, having no experience in their TSD classes, that's all I can really say about them.”
“About a week ago we got a call from the Master that was teaching the Tiny Tigers (3-4 year olds) class.”
“It's simultaneously a workout, learning self-defense, training for a sport, and learning discipline and patience (especially patience with oneself, in my experience).”

What students say
“They are very welcoming and you are not just joining a martial arts program, you are gaining an extended family.”
“Very friendly staff, progress and excellence oriented, meaning they want you or your student to improve and advance in the safest and most efficient way possible.”
“My daughter has improved focus, confidence, and self discipline, which I credit to Pak's.”
“The technique is Judo's main focus, not strength, and I know I didn't join when I was in the best of shape, and not one person shamed me for it.”
From the reviews
I love this place dude ❤️ My name is Tanner Short (As indicated by PF), and let me tell YOU. This place, Pak's Karate LA Bossier is the best place to learn martial arts, respect, kindness, and make friends to ever exist.
Pak's has two locations in Bossier Parish, La. Master Chapman and his Wife Master Heidi are very strict and serious about helping young people find focus, determination, motivation, and discipline and to set and achieve life goals to help them prepare for adult life.
When picking a martial arts school, leadership is the most important aspect, and this school has a strong leader. I called to inquire about competing all the way from Texas during their class schedule, and the owner was gracious and caring enough to call me back and give me time from his busy schedule.
They are amazing there!!! The staff is awesome and very understanding. You can't go wrong by picking Pak's!!! They have fun activities for the kids and sometimes the parents can join too. My son LOVES it there. They teach children more then karate there, they teach life lessons and manners!!
New to Karate? Start at Pak's Karate Louisiana - Bossier
Pak's Karate Louisiana - Bossier comes up as a beginner-friendly dojo — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or set foot in a dojo, 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 the sensei scales the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable dojos build fundamentals (stances, blocks, punches, and kicks) for weeks, and kumite (sparring) eases in gradually, with pads and control. Third, all levels and ages 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 dojos are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first Karate class at Pak's Karate Louisiana - Bossier
Nervous about walking into a Karate dojo for the first time? Almost everyone is, and a good sensei expects 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, punches, and kicks — not hard sparring. Step to the side whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot. What to bring: water, and a mouthguard if you have one — many dojos lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi and the belt your dojo awards you. Kumite (sparring) eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the sensei. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
