USA Professional Karate Studio

Making People Confident, Strong, and Safe . . .


USA Professional Karate Studio is an official Krav Maga Worldwide Training Center. We are also the most established Karate studio in the greater Pittsburgh area, having first opened our doors on Murray Avenue in Squirrel Hill in March, 1981. Sensei George Mowod and staff teach American Freestyle Karate, which is a combination of different styles of karate and various martial arts mixed with sport kickboxing, American boxing, and weapon's training and defense, to produce immediate and practical application of the martial arts. We have a friendly, respectful, family atmosphere where we emphasize character development, physical fitness and self-defense. Our teaching methods employ up-to-date & scientifically proven means of learning such as positive reinforcement, goal setting, and use of stripes, belts, merit patches and rewards to motivate, encourage and maintain the interest of every student. As a result, we see hundreds of students reaching their highest potential in life. Our children's program is second to none and includes a variety of specific classes for children based on age and experience level.

Last night’s class was amazing! When I’m at the studio I feel great, surrounded by friends and instructors that truly care for you and want to see you succeed in every aspect of life not just martial arts. I say the studio is my home away from home because I just love spending time with Sensei George who is truly an amazing person and the rest of my classmates who are just so fun to train with. . So yes last night and every night that I’m at the studio is a great and rewarding time. I can’t wait to be there tonight!

Our son thoroughly enjoyed his time here with Sensei. Unfortunately we are moving, but we would continue if we could. As a parent, the courses provided structure that helped our son manage big emotions. I highly suggest this gym - thank you Sensei!

I had a great two classes yesterday. I appreciated the focus on basics in the 5pm class, and enjoyed the flying side kicks from the 6pm class. I also really enjoyed the sticks, although I was not very good at the first pattern!

After struggling with her self confidence, self worth, and bullying for a while, we decided to enter my daughter into karate at USA Professional Karate Studio last year.

I cannot express how much my daughter has found herself and grown since beginning karate classes here. I highly, highly recommend this studio if you and/or your kids are considering learning martial arts.

Starting in the eagles class, my daughter has not only been taught karate moves and techniques, but important lessons about self defense, bullying, setting goals, self discipline, honesty, kindness, teamwork, and more. USA professional karate and it’s Sensei (George) are very clearly committed to helping and bettering kids and adults through karate in all areas of their lives.

Through karate, my daughter has gained an enormous degree of maturity, self worth, respect, and found her voice. and we cannot thank them enough for that.
