Love this family. Master Pam has really reached our kids in both the camp and his martial arts training. He has wonderful trainers that work with him. I warn you he is very structured, parents stay out of it (no helicopters) He knows what he is doing and demands this structure from his pupils. We love what he has taught our kids, both mentally and physically they are better people because of Master Pam.
Taught me the value of hard work and that not everything is given to you for free
My Son Lewis Ortiz went there twenty years ago Michael Pam is amazing and his staff. My son is now 26 years old and he still remembers the fun and the discipline you received from the school I highly recommend it thank you Michael Pam for being a great teacher and role model. Lewis Ortiz senior.
Michael Pam of Michael Pams Black Belt Champions is the best Taekwondo Leader in our community. He stepped up right away at the start of this virus and offered videod classes, then he went above and beyond and set up live classes. He also set up documentation for us to report our training and challenges and games to practice the kids skills while keeping them entertained. He now has schedules for them to attend live classes. He also set up training videos for the parents who are at home as well all free. He made sure the kids in his classes felt they were not forgotten. Thank you so much Michael for going out of your way and for doing all that you have done for our kids.
We love Michael Pams! Our daughter has been going there for two years (starting at age 4) and she loves it. We have seen a big difference in her behavior and how much more focused and confident she is. The staff is great and make the kids feel so comfortable and proud of their accomplishments. I highly recommend them to anyone who is looking to have their child join a karate school. The kickboxing classes are great too! What a challenging and fun workout!
My daughter has been going to Michael Pams for a year now and I have noticed such a positive change. She has become more focused and loves going to karate. The staff is amazing and you can tell they care about each child. The kickboxing classes are also great! They are challenging and so much fun! I highly recommend Michael Pams!!
Every now and then you find a real gem! I dont often write top notch reviews! This is the place to bring your child, even if you need to drive a bit extra to get there.. trust me. Even now, as CV-19 has limited access to physical classes, Sensei Pam has blown us away by offering the students multiple online/virtual classes. Cant say enough about how professional they are. Our sincere gratitude goes to MPBBC!!
Both of my children go to this school, they both just received their Green Belts. They love going to Karate they love the teachers and they love sparring and Saturdays when they get to do weapons training. The instructors are all amazing they are so patient and kind, the kids just love them all. Master Pam is a wonderful Sensi, he is very kind, caring and compassionate. This is one of the best karate schools I have seen. I would definitely recommend to anyone to let their child come and try it out and to join the school. Everyone there makes you feel welcome and like you are part of the family.
The staff at Michael Pam’s goes above and beyond to meet the needs of each of their members! My son has been taking classes there for years. Their impact on his physical progress as well as self confidence has been amazing. Their differentiated lessons help to meet each student’s needs. I love that they are able to target different skill levels by working with their students in small groups to challenge each child while pushing them to reach their full potential. My son has speech and OT issues, they are sensitive to these needs, but also help him to take risks to break his own boundaries! Their program is truly like no other! Their adult kickboxing classes are also amazing too! So thankful that we found a school that is JUST RIGHT for our family!
Master Pam and his staff are professional and caring. My grandson enjoys going to karate and likes all of his teachers. They teach life skills, confidence and patience. Every word of the month has a great meaning. Logans self esteem and patience has grown since his time at Michael Pams. I would recommend this karate school and the camps to anyone who is thinking about joining.
My daughters friend had been going to Michael Pams for a little while and raved about it to us. He told us how great it was and so my daughter wanted to try it. 3 years later she still walks though the door with the same enthusiasm she had when she first started. The whole staff is so fun and compassionate. They work really hard with the kids no matter what age or level. The patience, kindness, and dedication that each staff member shows is truly remarkable. There is no comparison. Thank you Michael Pam for all that you do for the students and the community.
The staff at Michael Pams is fantastic! Our son, age 7, has been attending classes for 1 year, and absolutely loves it there! He has learned so many life skills, like to be confident in yourself, focus on your goals, to work hard and you will succeed, to work together as a team. We are so proud of his accomplishments and look forward to his continued success. We highly recommend this karate school!-The Khan Family
Michael Pam’s is a great martial arts school with an amazing and friendly staff. The facility is always clean. My son has been attending classes there for 3 years and every year he has shown improvement with his confidence and patience. I am very pleased with the overall experience at Michael Pam’s and I highly recommend this martial arts school!
Signing my son up for classes at Michael Pams has been one of the best decisions we have made. He has been going for a short period of time but has come so far. He is learning to be more confident, to follow directions, respect, and monthly lessons. I would highly recommend anyone with children to give it a try. We will be continuing lessons with my other children as well.
The staff at Michael Pams is amazing with kids! Many years ago I enrolled my daughter for reasons of self defense against stranger abduction/abuse... they care about the kids and it shows...to this day she still remembers all they have instilled in her. Not only did they teach her to defend herself if necessary they also gave me peace of mind making the entire experience priceless!!
Both my kids attend and the discipline and focus they have both at home and at school has drastically changed for the better. They even love the parents night out nights and the school break camps. The Staff is so compassionate and caring and all around amazing. I am glad we found Michael Pams Black Belts Champions
Michael Pam’s black belt champions has help my son in so many way,he believes in himself and works hard to get good grades in school cause he is more Focus and that all came with joining Michael Pam’s and working hard. He is now a junior black belt. So thank you to Michael Pam and his great staff.
Both of my children attend Michael Pams and I couldnt be happier. My children are focused and have more confidence in themselves. They love attending the classes. The staff is friendly and professional. I highly recommend this school.
Wonderful place and experience. Staff all very welcoming, friendly, and competent. Highly professional. Amazingly effective workouts in the kickboxing classes. Michael is very personable, knowledgeable, and accommodating as well. Highly recommend!
My daughter has been training with Michael Pam and his staff for almost 6 years. Her enthusiasm increases with each belt promotion as well as her confidence and focus. We love the staff... always helpful and friendly!
My son went there for winter break! He absolutely loved it... He will be going there again for the summer
Been taking my daughter here for 8 yrs. Master Pam runs a great Family fitness center for all ages. Kids from 4 to 40 all benefit from self defense to kick boxing. Great for self confidence and fitness on all levels.
Absolutely love MPBBC! 3 of my kids and myself are or have been members. Very family oriented. Not only do you learn self defense, but you also learn confidence, respect, and good sportsmanship. The entire staff is friendly and knowledgeable. I can feel the difference in myself and see it in my kids. Have also made some incredible friends there. I highly recommend MPBBC to anyone and everyone!
My son Matthew has been a student for 3 months. I didnt know what to expect after he started. I couldnt be happier with his progress! He has so much pride in showing family members the skills he is learning. He has shown increased confidence in trying new things. 3 months ago he wouldnt even try a front roll. Now he moves the ottoman to do them in the den. You can see his excitement when he gets new tape on his belt. On the car trip home he tells me what he did or the names of new friends. He doesnt even want to take off his uniform. I look forward to seeing his continued progress!
Very nice and clean. Our 7 year old son always enjoys attending his lessons. Also offers day camp when school is out.
I love going to the adult kickboxing classes...I started out very unsure and insecure about participating. Now it has been almost a year of attending classes. They are challenging, fun and motivating all at the same time and I feel right at home!
My grandson started in July, hes promoted twice & his self confidence has improved. His listening skills have gotten better and hes more social.MPBBC is awesome!
I have been training at MPBBC for many years and it always makes me feel great about myself. I have more confidence and focus. It has really helped me in middle school. It is also helped me in other sports.
We first went there for a birthday party and the kids loved it. Signed my son up and he gets a work out. Michael treats everyone like family. He always has a smile on his face and very positive.
MPBBC has taught my son so much over the past nine years! Achieving his goal of black belt has given him so much confidence. He looks forward to advancing even further.
I have been attending the school for 13 years now for many good reasons. The confidence I have gained in myself over the years is priceless to me. Along with the general life fitness I have also learned how to stay calm and collected even when theres stressors all around. Im thankful for what this school has done for me and how my experiences here shaped me to be who I am today.
Michael Pams Taekwondo is a friendly, but hard working, taekwondo school that aims to better you as a person as well as teach you skills that youll be happy to have for the rest of your life. The mentors and staff all have great attitudes with your success as their main goal. I currently go with my father and after a few years we are working towards our black belt test. As we reach this goal together I will forever be thankful to Michael Pam for helping us make these memories while creating a healthy lifestyle.
Smh
A great school with great teachers/instructors. We are family of 5 and we are all members of MPBBC. Its an awesome training on discipline, focus and strength. Teachers are very involved. Once again thank you for being wonderful teachers lots of love from Vujovic family 😊
I have been a student at MPBBC for almost 10 years and it has been an amazing experience. I have become more confident, outgoing, and disciplined. I recommend MPBBC to anyone in the area who is looking for a place for themselves or their child or children. They have amazing kids and adult martial arts classes as well as adult fitness kickboxing.
Michael Pam really helped my son’s confidence in everyday life and gives him something to really look forward to and strive towards goals. Highly recommended
Michael Pams black belt championship is a great school my son has been attending for over a year and has gained so much confidence for a child that was once shy. The staff and ownwr are amazing peolpe and wouldnt want to take my son anywhere else. I highly recommend Michael Pams
I used to go here I didn’t get to a full black belt but in the time I was there I loved it I wish I could be there for one more lesson.
I love going to the kickboxing classes at Michael Pam’s !The staff is always friendly and motivating.I get a great workout even when I feel I can’t do it they manage to get me through! I highly recommend this class for anyone who wants to feel strong both physically and mentally!
My son has grown in ways I never expected. He has a “thing”. This is it. It’s not his brothers’ but his. He has a confidence I never saw before. It’s all thanks to our “family” at MPBBC!!!
Master Michael Pam is very focused on discipline and self esteem on each child,my daughter has been in his school for 3 years Ive noticed her focus and drive in school and out,I highly recommend his school.
I love the kickboxing classes! The instructors are great and the classes are challenging for all fitness levels.
I was impressed right off the bat with the organization. I love that the owner of Michael, interacts with the children and is hands on. There is a focus on the concern for General Wellness and growth both at the studio and in life. Michael takes the core practices of tae kwon do and teaches the children how it is to be applied in real life; focus, strength, respect, confidence and overall being a good person. Im very happy we made the decision to bring our little guy there and Ive seen the changes already.
I have been in Michael’s Pam Black Belt Champions for 6 years. I started when I was 4 and love his summer camps and classes.In one more year I will be getting my black belt.
My son would go every day if he could. This has been a great experience for him and he takes such pride in everything he has learned.
We joined Michael Pams 5 months ago and my son has learned so much. He is now an orange belt. All the teachers are very friendly and encouraging.
Strength. Confidence. And self defense.Great school. Great people.
We having been coming here for 5 years and my children have learned so much and enjoy every class.
I like it because it makes me feel more energetic, has a professional working group, friendly and experienced in what they do.
2020 update...My 2 sons ages 7 & 8 have been attending Michael Pam’s Black belt Champions in Selden for almost 2 years now. We attend classes 2 times a week and attend summer camp and winter break camps. We take advantage of parents night our as well. I am so comfortable and assures to leave my precious boys in the hands of Master Pam and his staff. I know they will provide the best care for them. Besides the safety and security my boys are learning valuable life lessons ie: gratitude, respect, love etc. and the main thing, at least in my sons eyes, is the FUN they have. There are many games and exercises and planned acticities that change each day so the kids are not bored. I love that early and late care is provided free of charge for members. That helps when I get called in early for work. I absolutely 100% recommend them for summer camp, winter camp and daily classes.LisamarieHaving my 2 sons join Michael Pams Black Belt Champions is one of the best decisions we have ever made. My sons; ages 6 and 7 were in another karate program and after 2 years did not learn a quarter of what they have leaned in 8 months that they have been enrolled here. Their self confidence has increased and it shows in other areas of their lives as well. Both boys are so much more focused and stronger and I am so proud of their abilities. Not only does Michael and his staff dedicate themselves to Taekwondo, they also serve other needs of our children. He recently hosted an event to teach our children how to ride bikes without training wheels. It was no cost to members and he included lunch. Take a free class you will be hooked.
I have been atending classes for 7 years now and it has taught me self confidence and self control.
Michal Pam’s black belt champions has been part of my life for almost 10 years, and I could not recommend it more. I always look forward to class every week. With out taekwando I would not be where I am today. It has helped me to reach for my goals, never give up, and to believe in myself. I also wouldn’t be where I am physically, Michael Pam’s helps all of its students stay in good shape. Michal Pam doesn’t just help with taekwando, he also takes an interest in your personal life. I’ve also met a lot of friends during class, the people at MPBBC have become kind of like a family to me. Even though Michal Pams is already an amazing place, he is always looking for ways to improve himself, his students, and his business.
This is a great school there is very awesome staff/teachers and Master Pam is awesome too 😄
This is a great school... it has a strong community and it is expertly run.
About two years ago, my husband and I started looking in to martial arts for our then 5 year old son. We knew that he needed more structure and help with focus.On a whim, I got a groupon for Michael Pams, and we never looked back.In 2 years, our son has learned focus, patience, respect and discipline. But more important than all that? He is having fun. He has a sense of camaraderie. He looks forward and rises up to the challenges before him.Whether it was the parent night out event, mothers day or fathers day class, trunk or treat or numerous other events, the staff never cease to impress me. They are skilled, patient and caring.I have nothing but incredible gratitude to the entire staff for everything they are helping our son achieve. We couldnt have done it without the help of each and every one of you.Anna Maria Amicucci
Michael Pams Black Belt Champions TaeKwonDo has powerful workouts andawesome instruction. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Master Pam is very dedicated to his school and his students. I have been a student at MPBBC for sixteen years, and through out the 25 years he has been established in Selden other family members have also attended his school
Overall just a great place!!! Staff is great and Master Pam is alright lol jk he is the best!! They take the time to get to know you and be a positive part of your entire life not just the tkd. Even as a adult a find it really helps with your self esteem, confidence and I lost a ton of weight. In my later 40s I find the program has allowed me to shed some of those years and my overall health is much better. I struggled with aches and pains from injuries. Taking class regularly has made most of those problems go away or be less severe. I would not hesitate to recommend Master Pams TKD
Michael Pam’s Black Belt Champions is a great Taekwondo school with very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful instructors that want to help and see you succeed. The staff is amazing but so are the many people that attend classes each day, I’ve made many new friends over my first year here. MPBBC has also helped me reach many of my fitness goals through Taekwondo and especially the Kickboxing program; the kickboxing workouts are intense and challenging for all fitness levels and there is never any pressure to keep up with anyone else. I could sit here and write many more great things about MPBBC but this review would go on for a very long time then. If you’re looking for a Taekwondo school or someplace that offers a Kickboxing program with amazing instructors and great people to take the classes with, Michael Pam’s Black Belt Champions is the school that you’re looking for.
My son has been going to Michael Pams BBC for 2 1/2 years now. We first joined after having his birthday party there. He was big into Star Wars... and What an incredible party they put together! The kids loved it and so did the parents!! Excercise, taekwondo, lightsabers, pizza etc. We signed up the next day and Im thrilled we did. Every class is filled with excercise, life lessons and a bit of humor, which I appreciate. My son will be going for his Junior Black Belt in the spring and Im so happy that we found something that he enjoys learning in a fun and friendly environment. Thanks MPBBC!!!!
Great staff my daughter is learning so much from her taekwondo lessons
My twins have gone here for years and they have learned so much from the staff. They really care for all the kids who take karate there. I wouldnt go anywhere else!
I have enjoyed coming here for the past 8 years, i have learned a lot.
Very fun experience!!! I enjoy coming to classes.
You always get a great workout in kickboxing class!
I’ve been with MPBBC for 11 years since I was 6 years old. I’ve had nothing but great memories through out all of these years. I earned my Black belt when I was 13 and have never felt more proud of myself than ever before.
I’ve been here for going on 12 years and I’ve made a second family here that will always be with me.
