“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!“
“Great Judo classes, you should train here if you live in the area or are visiting from out of town!“
“This is a great school, run by a great staff. My son has been going here almost 4 years and I recently started the adult classes this past December. Master Wilson is a fun and engaging teacher and it's fantastic with the kids classes. I highly recommend stopping to try the introductory program.“
“This is one of the best gyms you could go to train at or drop into. It has good facilities great training partners and a laid-back atmosphere. The facilities include a very large matt area, central heating, multiple showers, separate bathrooms and locker rooms, a sauna, cryotherapy, And a more or less complete MMA training facility on the other side of the building so that the kickboxing classes can take place at the same time as the grappling classes. People at this gym understand more about wall wrestling than the average Bjj gym for sure. The people there are very friendly and also numerous. between the local wrestling culture the University and the MMA connections there are a ton of very tough Bluebelt ant every training session. They also have a good number of Blackbelts and strong female team members who compete in both grappling and MMA. Additionally, the culture of the gym is extremely laid-back and friendly. Because I am traveling I have been showing up at all hours including attending open mat Without taking part in the classes that precede them. Nobody has yelled at me about it or seemed bitter which is rare and admirable. Additionally, the first time I went there I left a bunch of stuff there and nobody moved it for two days when I figured out what I had done and came back and collected it. I am so grateful for this because my car keys were somewhere in the giant pile of filthy garbage that I left stacked on the chair and I am glad to have those rash guards back too even if their resale value is zero at this point. If you are moving to Pittsburgh I would definitely recommend paying a little bit extra to live within walking distance of this gym.“
“I go to this wonderful school and it is so amazing and i recommend it a lot! It's for children over five and adults. It has kickboxing too! It's great if you want your children to learn self defense. It's also amazing to get your child in line and to learn manners! I heavily recommend this place for you or your child!“
“I've been coming about a month. Incredibly friendly people and the instructors are excellent. Super nervous to even walk in the door at first but have had extremely welcoming vibes every time.“
“Great school with many long time practitioners. I recently started with my teenage son, everyone there has been welcoming and helpful.Prices are very reasonable and the quality of training is awesome.“
“Great team of trainers focused on helping kids and adults be their best selves ... Pretty fantastic“
“Wanted to try out something new for my 4 year old. Saw this program online, saw good reviews. We have attended a few classes so far and are happy we signed up. Great atmosphere. Caring employees. Looking forward to keeping this program a part of our weekly routine.“

“Excellent martial arts school! When I was younger, I studied a few different martial arts in High School and College, but I hadn't practiced in over 10 years. I started my son in the pre-school classes at Ryer's and I couldn't resist signing up myself after I saw the school/classes and met the instructors.The classes are different from any class that I've taken in the past. The variety of styles and techniques make every class interesting, fun and challenging. There is a 4 week rotation consisting of striking techniques, eskrima/knife, grappling and Brazilian jiu jitsu. I love the fact that at every level, we learn advanced techniques that we won't be "formally" required to master until we reach higher belt levels.The curriculum is the Counterpoint Tactical System which is a very practical martial arts system. Every class is fun, the instructors are great and the class is a great workout.Highly recommended for all ages/levels!“
“Outstanding studio for learning Tai Chi and wushu king fu. Classes are great for kids and you can see their progression within a short period of time“
“Great place! Wonderful instructor, very personable, highly experienced. My son loves it.“
“I’ve been doing martial arts for more than 40 years, and research and write about them from my home in Japan. You won’t find a better place to learn.“

“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.“

“House of Martial Arts is top notch! Sensei Gino works hard to give every student the best experience possible. He is knowledgeable in his field and is able to adjust his teaching to his audience. All of the students always look happy coming and leaving the dojo. Can’t say enough good things!!!!“
“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!“
“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.“
“Terrific instructors, great environment and well-run classes. Classes are well organized. I highly recommend Lathen Martial Arts.“
“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.“
“My 2 daughters are learning so much here. More than karate. Sensei Gaddis teaches them life lessons and executive functioning skills as well. So important! They have been in the program here for about 8 months and are doing so well. Sensei keeps them so engaged and his classes are fun. He mixes humor and energy in with each lesson. There are tons of events and activities planned throughout the year too. I’m so glad we chose Gaddis Brothers for our girls’ karate classes!“
“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.“
