American Streetwise Self Defense

American Streetwise Self Defense, based in Pittsburgh, combines six different systems of martial arts. Our training comprises long range combat (punches / kicks) from the art of Tae Kwon Do, blocks and stances from Karate, and mid-range combat (elbows / knees / clinches) form Bando Boxing and Muay Thai. Close range grappling, including takedowns, locks, throws, ground fighting, pressure points, and submissions come from Aikido and Kempo . Every aspect of street fighting is covered in both the belt courses and self-defense classes.
