Like AmeyaVS hints -
You need to give the tar archive a name, not the directory.
tar will NOT add .tar/.tgz to your archive.
tar (child): liunx adventure group/: Cannot open: Is a directory
says so, quite clearly.
Hint: you may not want to use -z (gzip) to compress.
-J uses xz, which is a more modern compress.

See man tar:
