Practical Martial Arts for Youth, 
Teens and Adults in Pittsburgh, PA

SELF-DEFENSE

For Any Size or Situation.  Great for Adults, Women AND Kids!
A martial artist who relies on feet and hands can still be defeated when faced with an opponent much larger than he is. Brute strength is a difficult thing to conquer.

However, a weapon levels the playing field. When you know how to use it just right, it makes you as powerful - if not more so - than a larger opponent.

You can keep yourself and your loved ones safe from harm.

MUSCLE MEMORY, MADE EASY

Tailored for the individual.  No ONE SIZE FITS ALL here!
Our system teaches patterns of movement that use sticks, empty hands, and (for adults only), bladed (wooden and rubber practice) weapons. The patterns will put the movements securely into your muscle memory, making you ready to defend, even in a state of fear when your mind has gone blank. Instinct becomes action. And action saves your life.

In our Ninjability™ program, students at early stages of training are taught to use a single soft stick, with no contact. As they progress in skill, they will eventually advance to our Ninja Warrior classes.  Here, they will begin to practice with an item in both hands, strengthening the connections between both sides of the brain.  Later, in our teen and adult classes, contact between students will increase, as well as more ground techniques and practice with things that can be used as weapons.

Our programs will dramatically improve hand-eye coordination, while boosting confidence sky-high!  With our learn-to-teach, teach-to-learn philosophy, students are taught to work with peers in a relaxed environment, allowing our classes to build solid leaders at a very young age. The students think the sticks are "cool" and fun, and they gain super fast hand and foot coordination due to using them. When they start using the patterns with empty hands, they are amazed at how fast they really become, which creates even more confidence.

THE PERFECT SOLUTION FOR ADULTS

EQUAL Respect between teacher and students.  Adults won't feel like they're "back in school!"
We understand the adult learning process, and that you don't want to feel like you're back in a classroom, "pleasing" a teacher for a grade.  Adults want practical, REAL LIFE techniques that they can use, if they have to.  Every minute of practice is devoted to the most useful, practical, real-world techniques, thus maximizing the time you set aside from your family and outside life.
Increase your fitness, strength and stamina - in every class.
Every class contains workouts and drills that work you from head to toe. You'll build cardiovascular strength and endurance. You'll develop lean muscle mass. And you'll feel stronger, more energized throughout the day.
Get good at defending yourself - and it doesn't take years to learn.
Our classes teach a practical system of real defense. No fancy moves or years of training necessary, just easy to learn techniques that build off your natural reactions. You will never get tired of the same old thing, because in every class you will find new and different ways to apply what you've learned. Our classes are great for kids and perfect for adults who want to be able to defend themselves in the real world, in realistic scenarios. Defend yourself without a weapon, or level the playing field by making anything available to you into a usable weapon. The choice is yours.
