I've been training at World Pa Kua Martial Arts & Health for about 6 years now, primarily in Tai Chi, and I've also taken several other classes during that time. I've gotten a lot of value out of my time here, and it's been a consistent part of my life and personal growth over the years. Master Kyle genuinely cares about his students, and not just in terms of technique, but in helping you grow into a healthier, more disciplined, and better version of yourself. His teaching style is supportive, encouraging, and rooted in real knowledge and experience.Edmond A. — Yelp

What We Believe
A Martial Arts School Where Anyone Can Grow
Making real change is hard without the right tools. We've fought many of the same battles — with health, trauma, aimlessness, insecurity, and stagnation. That's why Pa Kua teaches the principle of universal knowledge: skills anyone can use, regardless of gender, background, religion, or physical ability.
Pa Kua is a holistic martial art — we train the internal and external body together. You don't need experience or a particular fitness level. Our Burbank studio is a safe space to grow, find community, and discover the best version of yourself.
- ✓Traditional, non-competitive martial arts for all ages and abilities
- ✓Teachers who work with your personal goals — not against them
- ✓Conquer self-doubt, reduce anxiety, and improve your health
- ✓One studio, nine programs: from Tai Chi to traditional Chinese archery
Martial Arts in Burbank
One School, Every Discipline — for Every Age
World Pa Kua Martial Arts & Health is Burbank's home for traditional, non-competitive martial arts and wellness. Under one roof on Alameda Avenue, you can train in martial arts, Tai Chi, cardio kickboxing, traditional Chinese archery, swords and weapons, Chinese yoga, and women's self-defense — all with a single membership.
Our approach is different by design. There are no tournaments to win and no one to beat; the goal is steady, personal growth at your own pace. That philosophy makes the school a welcoming place for complete beginners, busy adults, curious kids, and seniors alike — whatever your fitness level or history with injury.
For families, it's rare to find this much under one roof. Kids build confidence, focus, and respect through youth classes, summer camp, and homeschool programs, while parents pursue their own goals in the same supportive community. Many families train side by side and grow together.
Just as importantly, training here is about how you feel off the mat: less stress, sharper focus, better balance, and the quiet confidence that comes from learning something real. Whether you're chasing fitness, self-defense skills, mindfulness, or a fresh challenge, there's a path here for you.
The easiest way to find your fit is to come try it. Our 7-day trial for $7 gives you full access to every class for a week — explore a few disciplines, meet the instructors, and see why Burbank keeps recommending us.

My 9 year old has been coming here for 2 years and she has such a good time every class. She has shown so much discipline when learning new moves and Master Kyle is always supportive and patient. So much so that my 5 year old wanted to join! She's a little small for some of the moves but again, Master Kyle is so patient with her and gives her plenty of time to work it out. We really enjoy this class for them. They have fun but also teaches them balance and self respect. I love that for them, especially at such a young age!Megan S. — Yelp
My friends and I went to Pa Kua yesterday for our intro to Chinese archery class and had a fantastic time. Master Marina was an amazing teacher and was super patient with teaching us the foundations: breathing, form, and practice. I especially love how she emphasized that the art of Chinese archery at Pa Kua isn't meant for killing or hunting but for meditation and release. Definitely will be returning.Arnold C. — Yelp
