Schools in Pittsburgh area?

[Vahn]

Hello all, was just wondering if anyone knew of any schools in the Pittsburgh area. I came across this site while doing research for my art and in the thread I read someone mentioned about asking for school locations. So I thought I would. =) Any help would be appreciated.

What style are you seeking, Vahn?

Your profile lists TKD and Karate as your primary training so, given your 'rank' and relative youth, I wouldn't really suggest delving into the sword arts just yet. Wait until you've graded to shodan so as not to run the risk of learning two very different things and have that diversity negatively affect the proficiency in either.

Of course, if you are switching 'direction' so to speak and are going to concentrate fully on the JSA then the above cautionary does not apply.

Yoseikan Budo has sword as a part of their curriculum. I've heard some good things about Yoseikan budo. ... http://www.pghya.com/
