Chris Brittingham (Lima Charlie)
"Absolute killer gym. Dropped in on three classes and some open mats while in Pitt for work. Excellent training and culture. Great rolls. Stout is now my go-to anytime I’m in this area. Thank you!!"
Vitor Pellegrino
"When I was in Pittsburgh for work last fall, I was fortunate enough to spend a week training with the fine folks at Stout Training at their Strip District location. They have loads of classes suited for every level of BJJ skill. The skill level of the people at the gym is high and still very welcoming. I will definitely come back whenever I'm in town next. My huge thanks to Sage and Logan for their incredible welcome and for creating such a vibrant community of practitioners. I would recommend the gym to anyone looking to learn or further their knowledge of the sport. 10/10"
Nicole Mathew
"I really enjoy coming here when im in the area. Claire, one of their black belts, is one of my favorite people to train with. Mike always brings the good vibes and I think their classes are great."
Stefan Watsula
"Amazing place. The atmosphere is extremely friendly and welcoming. The coaches are very attentive and give critique where needed. The upper belts (more experienced people) are also a very good reflection of the mindset of Stout considering they also take their time to help new and current students. I would confidently and strongly recommend this place to anyone; regardless of skill level, age, athleticism, etc."
