Experienced tutor in Martial arts in Pittsburgh, David offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

I've been a student for the past 14+ years, and I continue to come back week after week and learn from David because there's always something new. Not only can I fine-tune my skills with new students, David is always studying and always advancing his own skill and craft and sharing that new knowledge with advanced students.

In addition, the PCC is like a family. The students are a close-knit group of individuals, who enjoy each other's company while training together. There's no competition here to see who's the top dog. Each student is responsible for helping his or her classmates achieve a greater understanding of the techniques each and every class (with the help of the instructor).

Last - and this is important to know if you're considering checking us out - David and the PCC do not teach for sport or MMA. We teach real self-defense tactics that anyone can use to defend themselves.

You don't have to be young and in shape. You don't have to be flexible and kick over your head (in fact, we'll deter you from doing that!). You just have to interested in trying something new and have a passion for learning.

If that's you, then why not give us a shot? You've got nothing to lose. Heck, you may even make a friend or two ;-)

David is an incredible teacher! Knowledgeable, professional, encouraging--everything you want an instructor to be. He makes learning fun even though self defense is serious stuff. he has taught me an incredible amount and I will be back for more lessons! He has helped me be more confident that I can protect myself if need be.

Working with Pittsburgh Combat Club is awesome because it is designed to make self defense easy to learn and remember. I’ve taken courses every year for decades and most instructors give you things that need to be learned over time.

As you improve, you are given more technique and more complicated lessons but they build on each other and they are always brought back to getting you back to your family.

Speaking of family, the Pittsburgh Combat Club has become my second and I could not be more grateful.

David is knowledgeable in many martial arts. All hands on and very helpful. David wants to make sure each student gets each technique. Everybody is very friendly i consider everybody part of my martial art family.

Excellent instructor who teaches a plethora of techniques for real world defensive situations. You will feel confident to know when to walk away and avoid a confrontation. Also you will know what to do to if it becomes an asocial.
Can’t say enough about PCC a real Combative Arts family
