Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
N Kerb
"My 6-year-old son has been attending this jiu-jitsu school, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. The coach is extremely professional, knowledgeable, and truly the best in the field. He creates a positive and encouraging environment that helps kids build confidence and develop their skills. Highly recommend this school to anyone looking for top-notch jiu-jitsu training!"
Justin Overstreet
"I was in town from Houston on business and dropped in to train with the Team at Rise 8 BJJ. The gym and the people were top notch. Great instruction from Coach Dave England and tough rolls from his students. I will definitely be training here whenever I'm in the Pittsburgh area."
Jeff Cancelliere
"I had the pleasure of attending a living Muay Thai summit at Rise 8 Training Academy over the weekend. The facility was fantastic. The head Muay Thai instructor Keith is a wealth of knowledge and has a great demeanor and teaching process. The training mats are top of the line and after spending 3 days for 6-8 hours a day your body will know you trained on a quality structure/setup. Ultimately the instruction and facility is head of the class."
Krysta Scharlach
"Wonderful academy with great instructors. Welcoming atmosphere, and extremely clean facilities and mats."
