Self-Defense
Classes at Pittsburgh
Martial Arts & Boxing Academy blend aspects of western boxing,
American kickboxing, muay Thai, kali, jkd, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and
American freestyle.
Pittsburgh
Martial Arts & Boxing Academy teaches some of the most
realistic self-defense training in Pittsburgh and has been for
nearly 30 years (as Martial Arts Academy of Pittsburgh). This
training will prepare you for realistic scenarios that you may
actually have to face in the real world. You'll learn kicks,
punches, knees, elbows, blocks and defense against sticks, knives
and even guns.
This
is NOT your kid's karate class! We do not force Asian traditions on
you or teach you things that don't work. If something is designed to be fought in a ring, (or cage, like MMA) - it is not self-defense, if you can learn it from an exercise tape - it is not self-defense, if it is practiced for tournament competition - it is not self-defense, if it doesn't teach modern-day weapons defense - it is not self-defense and if it ever tells you to go to the ground on purpose - it is not self-defense.
Our
self-defense class addresses the issues of more than one attacker, weapon attacks and attacks that are consistent with current crime trends. Our system has been used and recommended by police, security and others in dangerous professions. Most importantly, our system has been used successfully by everyday, normal people in real self-defense situations including robberies, knife-attacks, sucker punches and more.
