    Default Hand 2 Hand self defense classes in Pittsburgh

    Okay guys, not quite firearms related but lately I have been thinking of getting some training. We are planning on visiting family in England within a few months and guns are not too welcome there. Knife crime is up and I am WAY unprepared for a SD situation.

    I could use a good, realistic class for H2H, knife defense, gun grabs, ext... I would like to avoid years of kung-fu, I want to focus on realistic training.



    Any recommendations in the Pittsburgh area?

    You have to watch those Brits and their drive by arguments.

    /+1 on the training idea

    the answer would be a krav maga school here in pittsburgh. i've looked for one, but have never been able to find one. there are some out in eastern PA, but don't seem to be any around here unfortunately.

    We try to schedule these every year but unfortunately nobody seems to be interested. The courses offered are specifically devoid of requiring "years of kung-fu".

    Google < Steve Tarani >. He is the guy we use.

    If people want to see how many folks we have that are interested, we can email them with a total count for pricing.

    This is the class I inquired about earlier since I missed the one that was scheduled. I'm hoping one can is scheduled for this year.

    I'd be interested and possibly my wife, count me in if someone is inquiring about a group price.

    I'd be up for it, if a group was gotten together for it.
