Pittsburgh Combat Club The Pittsburgh Combat Club’s primary philosophy is one of reality first. We are an all-reality, all-of-the-time system of Self-Defense. No rankings. No BS.

We do not train for sport or for exercise. We train so that we can, if called upon, defend ourselves, our family and/or those in need when under personal attack. In so doing, every effort is given to make training a realistic endeavor. OUR MISSION

The mission of the PCC is to develop students to the very best of their ability so that they can survive a harmful/life-threatening encounter. No uniforms, No "one-way." We offer weekly classes, 2-Day boot camps, quarterly workshops & custom group training programs. Interested in training: Check us out here: http://www.pittsburghcombatclub.com/start-my-training/
