“Excellent experience! Wonderful, knowledgeable instructors…. great options, and overall accommodating and caring environment!!!“
“I have been doing karate there for 6 years and I enjoy every second of every class. Master Lindsay and the other members are phenomenal! The feeling of all of your accomplishments can make a bad day great!“
“A great gym. Tommy has made a really safe, unique place in that he encourages everyone to develop their own individual style. He's a fantastic teacher and all of his black belts are as well. All of the instruction is top notch. I've been to a lot of different jiujitsu gyms in the Western PA area and this gym is truly special.“
“If you want your child to learn properly while having fun this is the school for you.“
“Master Oien is an amazing martial artist and instructor. I had the privilege to train with him for many years. He is truly the best of the best“
“Owner/ instructor Jeff Contraguerro has decades of experience as a martial arts instructor and has the real-life background as a former bouncer and tough-man winner to back it up.His son and instructor Daniel also has probably over a decade of experience as a martial artist and instructor and the added experience of college wrestling. These are men who are able to talk the talk and walk the walk.The majority of students have been attending for many years, with their loyalty a testament to Jeff and the quality of his teaching. Jeff and Daniel are firm and naturally garner the students' respect while staying caring, supportive, and approachable.Jeff includes regular sparring, grappling, and physical contact between students which I would argue prepares students much better for real-world self defense than most schools who teach non-contact kicking and punching.If you are looking for martial arts training in the area you owe it to yourself or your kids to give Contraguerro a look.“
“All of the staff here are amazing! Even the youngest children are respectful in class because the teachers are respectful to them - it is mutual. Grand Master will walk out of class and tell the parents "It was an honor to teach your kids today." I joined when my kids joined, and every time I leave class I feel so empowered as well. Love it here!“
