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.

Please run that command like this:
tar -czvf 'liunx adventure group'.tar.gzip liunx adventure group/
Don't use space in the compressed filename, so the above would be better like this:
tar -czvf liunx_adventure_group.tar.gzip liunx adventure group/
See man tar:
Compression options
-a, --auto-compress
Use archive suffix to determine the compression program.
-I, --use-compress-program=COMMAND
Filter data through COMMAND. It must accept the -d option, for decompression. The argument can contain
command line options.
-j, --bzip2
Filter the archive through bzip2(1).
-J, --xz
Filter the archive through xz(1).
--lzip Filter the archive through lzip(1).
--lzma Filter the archive through lzma(1).
--lzop Filter the archive through lzop(1).
--no-auto-compress
Do not use archive suffix to determine the compression program.
-z, --gzip, --gunzip, --ungzip
Filter the archive through gzip(1).
Usage examples:
tar -czvf liunx_adventure_group.tar.gzip liunx adventure group/
tar -cjvf liunx_adventure_group.tar.bzip2 liunx adventure group/
tar -cJvf liunx_adventure_group.tar.xz liunx adventure group/
