“I practiced at Aikido of Pittsburgh for 25 years, until the COVID19 epidemic moved my family out of town. I will always be indebted to Shihan Masutani and her excellent instructors for their dedication to the future of Aikido.“

“True Authentic Taekwondo. There is no place I would rather train with than this group and its head instructors. They always push us to be our best. No matter the challenge anything is possible with the right team and teacher and Young Brothers is the best place to learn Taekwondo. You will not only learn to defend yourself, but you become a better person and truly feel welcomed as part of the Young Brothers Taekwondo family.“

“Since March the business has been offering classes via Zoom, and in-person via sign-ups. I enjoyed the classes with my kids and their instructors so much I joined! Supportive environment where everyone can grow individually, or as a team!“

“The environment here is one of respect for the craft. A place where you can challenge yourself, get a great workout, and meet a friendly community of diverse people. It is very enjoyable for everyone.I took a ten year break and was welcomed back like I never left.“

“The main instructors have combined Aikido experience of over 70 years. They also organize regular seminars, where legendary Aikido instructors teach several classes a day over a weekend, and if you have never been thrown by a 7th dan Sensei, you don't know what you're missing (actually, if these words make sense to you, you probably do).Complete beginners are welcome--you only need to bring comfortable clothes to exercise in. To enter, you go past the sliding gate facing the street, continue forward, and then take a left. The studio door is going to be in front of you. If you see woodworking equipment, you are at the right place; this studio shares a courtyard with Jones Furniture Design.“

“Come on down and check them out. Very professional, knowledgeable and all around a great atmosphere. Great help with building self esteem“

“One critical aspect of many that I value about Mumon karate is the honesty and purity. It is a not for profit organization with instructors that work hard at deepening their understanding and accuracy of the martial art. These instructors then teach their students with one simple goal: to help each student be the best they can be at a pace appropriate for that individual. I believe most students seeking martial arts instruction would be attracted to this pure delivery of karate instruction, not tainted by a need for profit.Mark W“

“Black Hawk Martial Arts is a great place to train, work on your fitness, develop excellent relationships and just have fun while sweating it out. The instructors (Master Ron and Ray) have a great understanding of each student's personal needs and abilities and are willing to work within those limitations. They teach traditional martial arts, but show us how to use it, if needed, in a modern day application.For youths, I have watched them gain confidence in themselves while learning discipline, focus, and respect. For the adults, including myself, we have learned more focus, strength, and confidence.Black Hawk Martial Arts is a great place for individuals or families to learn and have fun at the same time.“

“Josh is wonderful with kids. Instills confidence and strength. He encourages them in martial arts and being good people. Even if he has to correct a child he does it in such a way that they learn the lesson but don't feel diminished.“

“My son went to Young Brothers in Aspinwall for almost 10 years! He has earned his third degree black belt. Over the time we were there, Mr. and Mrs. Master Norris were absolutely wonderful. They are consistent and professional while also being a lot of fun. My son's self confidence increased as he mastered the skills required to obtain each belt. They also emphasize being a good person with strong values. It was all around a very welcoming and positive experience for all of us!“

“This is an awesome gym community with a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere. Classes are different every time, offer a challenging workout, and can be modified for anyone's unique needs or restraints. All of the trainers/instructors are helpful and down to earth. I highly recommend giving this place a try!“

“My son (now 7) has been training at Gaddis Brothers Martial Arts Academy for the past six months and is loving it! He’s tried several other sports/activities but nothing has held his interest like the MA program at Gaddis. Sensei (and all the instructors) do a great job balancing fun with practical skills and discipline. Definitely recommend you check them out today!“
