From the reviews
Pittsburg Elite has been a great experience for both of my boys! The program has help build their confidence in their athleticism and in their social interactions. They have learned to set goals and to do the work to achieve them. They love the instructor and have made great friends here, too.

Great exercise, teaches them discipline, self control and how to respect themselves and others while also building their self confidence. We love it and highly recommend it to anyone!
The school my kids attend for their Taekwondo training. It's a great school. They have learned a lot there and I would highly recommend it to anyone. If interested please check them out. Both kids have grown so much since starting to go there. Both are seeing their confidence levels grow.
Zeke has developed a strong discipline and focus that he never used to have. If you want to see a change in your child you should definitely check out Pittsburg Elite Martial Arts! It’s a fantastic program!!
New to taekwondo? Start at Pittsburg Elite
Pittsburg Elite comes up as a beginner-friendly school — noted on their own site. If you've never trained or set foot in a dojang, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and instructors scale the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable schools build fundamentals (stances, blocks, kicks, and basic forms) for weeks, sparring eases in gradually and with gear on, and instructors keep it controlled and safe. Third, all ages and all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most schools are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first taekwondo class at Pittsburg Elite
Nervous about walking into a taekwondo school for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good instructors expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic stances, blocks, and kicks with a partner or on pads — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: loose athletic wear you can move in (or a dobok if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the floor. What to bring: water and a positive attitude — many schools lend a loaner dobok for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll get your own dobok and belt, and sparring gear (mouthguard, headgear, and guards) once you begin sparring. Sparring eases in gradually, once your fundamentals and forms are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the instructor. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
