True Believer Jiu Jitsu

“I’ve dropped in on a few classes when I’m in town for work and they have always been happy to have me. Professor Jake, the coaches, and other members of the gym have been nothing but welcoming to me. Techniques taught are always useful and well explained. Typically 5 minute rounds after technique. Great workout, great gym.”

“True Believer is the best gym I've trained at. The environment is welcoming but challenges you to get better every day. The coaches are elite martial artists and great teachers. They regularly bring in guest instructors for seminars, which lets you keep adding to your game and get some new perspectives. I'd recommend this gym to anyone in Pittsburgh!”

“I’m a 56 year old blue belt from California visiting family in Pittsburgh and just wanted to get a little training in while here. Dropped in on the morning class unannounced and they were incredibly accommodating. Instructor and students were super nice, and the training was great. Some really technical instruction and drilling, and the live rolls were also really good. The warm up was doing actual low intensity technique and drilling, I’ve never seen that before but it was super cool. All in all just a great experience. I’ll be back next time I’m in town for sure.”

“This place is great. I take my son here and the culture here is more welcoming than other places I've been and really engaged in helping everyone get better. I've been to other 'reputable' Dojos in pgh where the instructors were hit or miss. Some were great, others seemed like they were just passing the time until class was over.”

“I dropped in and did two days here. Great space and instructors. The lead instructor Jake couldn't have been nicer. The other students are tough, but very chill. Really enjoyed my time here and I have to recommend it if you are in the Pittsburgh area or are visiting. I will definitely train here the next time I'm in town.”
