My two children and I all train in Jiu-Jitsu here, and we couldn’t be happier. I came from another school after my previous instructor passed away a few years ago and after trying several places, I struggled to find a school that felt like the right fit. From day one, Santino the owner, welcomed my family with open arms. Both of my sons absolutely love training here. The kids classes have an excellent instructor / student ratio, which is very important to me as a parent. Many of the higher belt moms and dads also have their children training here, creating a close-knit, family style environment where everyone knows and supports each other. I genuinely enjoy being part of this academy and highly recommend it.

Began looking for something "different" to do. So in my mid 50's went to SCMA to try my first trail class. The instructor, Brad (noon class, long time Black Belt) was fantastic. The student I paired up with was fantastic. That was over 2.5 years ago, and I will never regret starting BJJ. Although, like many people, wish I had started earlier! This gym creates many great friendships. These people are so kind, helping you progress, encouraging you! As they humble you completely! And make you want to come back over and over to learn more! Its been a great journey so far, and I look forward to many more years of training! Thanks Santino, for running a great gym!

Been training here for 6 years. This academy has more accredited BJJ black belts teaching than any other school in the region. This school also does belt testing for BJJ instead of just handing belts out. This leads to the students being vastly more experienced and skilled at every belt level than other academies in the region. This school also has a much more mature, and family oriented crowd than most of the others around Pittsburgh. Bottom line, there is no better place in this region to train BJJ.

Steel City Martial Arts is our home away from home and we love it. My husband, son, daughter and I all train Brazilian Jiujitsu. Our women’s jiujitsu program is amazing and growing rapidly. There is no more fun and entertaining way to workout than our women’s kickboxing class.
