Pak’s Haughton has been one of the best things for my kid! He learns everyday lessons as well as karate. He loves going to class and has lots of fun! Staff members are kind but also consistent!

★★★★★ — Randi, Jul 2023

Best martial arts school I have seen in a long time. They have very knowledgeable instructors with years of experience and who will work with you at your pace. Best experience I have ever had.

★★★★★ — Joshua, Apr 2017

Our son has attended their afterschool program since August 2025. We have interacted with all of the instructors at the Haughton location, and I am very impressed with their professionalism and commitment to push their students through their limitations. We have since signed up for a three year contract.

★★★★★ — Ashley, Jun 2026

Pak's is a great training facility for those interested in martial arts. They offer after school programs, along with full range of classes and belt testing. As a portrait photographer, it provided a great backdrop to highlight this Senior's love and enthusiasm for the support and the place he's trained at for so many…

New to Karate? Start at Pak's Karate Louisiana - Haughton

Pak's Karate Louisiana - Haughton 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 - Haughton

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.

Karate is a contact sport. Ease in, train within your limits, listen to your instructors, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
