Joining Win-Win Kung Fu has been one of the best life decisions I've made. I did Tang Soo Do for…read morenearly 8 years before going off to college and I have always participated in high intensity sports, so I figured I could keep up. Much to my surprise, I broke a sweat, felt every muscle ache, and found a renewed passion for martial arts. The teachers here come directly from China and are super highly skilled in Chinese martial arts, like straight out of a movie status. In my short year and a half with the school, I have learned Shaolin style, contemporary wushu, weapons, and now Baji. I also decided to learn tai chi which I also underestimated how much of an internal workout it is and challenging to say the least. I have felt more in shape now than any other post college time, and lost about 20 lbs. since joining. Wish I would've join sooner! The youth follow a belt system, the adults have it too and are encouraged to test but it is not mandatory like other martial arts practices. In this sense I feel it's a great way for children to develop the discipline, focus and physical ability while adults focus on self-improvement without the pressure of testing. We are busy adults but we invest the time we want to better our own abilities and I feel that is the Martial way. There are far more great things to say about this school and Master Bao than can be written in a yelp review. They offer a free trial class of wushu, tai chi, etc., so why not give it a shot.

One of my favorite studios…read more I used to go to the weekly Saturday morning $5 community class - all the teachers were terrific. It was a huge help for me during my student years. I remember really enjoying Lisa's intros and teaching method, but really every teacher I had was helpful, deliberate and knowledgeable in their leading of the class.

I waited awhile to write this review, because I didn't want to be the only person in Pittsburgh who…read moredid not like this yoga studio. Well here goes. I purchased a pass for $35.00 for admission to three classes and only used it on one class and I will not be returning for any additional classes. At the start of the class the instructor asked the class what we would all like to work on. One attendee said "the core" I had read the class description several times online and had signed up for a class called "slow flow" which I took to mean more focus on stretching and slow deliberate movements...boy was I wrong. I felt that for a class called slow flow it was very challenging and I was more tense afterwards then I had been before. Personally I can see more advanced yogies having a great time and really enjoying themselves here, but for me as a beginner I felt totally out of the loop and even felt that I was snapped at for not telling the instructor I was a beginner. This yoga study does not have any showers...which for me as some who catches the bus made for a pretty uncomfortable bus ride home. The studio was very warm and cozy and Yoga Hive is a lovely facility even if it lacks showers. It's just not for me. I need more guided mediation and yoga for stress relief not to build abs. I am pretty sad, will I never be able to find a yoga studio to which I can belong? I have these two additional passes that I am certain have expired by now. I hope every one else enjoys their yoga though.

Voila, Highland Park saved the day. The thing that attracted me most was the playground that featured plenty of shade as well as playscapes that worked for various ages including babies with a soft floor. I also want to highlight that this park features hiking trails and a great view overlooking downtown Pittsburgh. It's tucked into a historic neighborhood so the drive to the park was also pleasant. If I lived in the area, I could see myself frequenting this park. Overall a wonderful experience and we will definitely visit the next time we are in Pittsburgh!

The mats, bags, gloves, equipment and entire locker room are all in such stunningly good condition that they look like they've never been used. All the students are extraordinarily friendly and helpful. All the coaches have the rare combination of advanced expertise, deep passion for martial arts and a constructive approach. They build up every sequence from the simplest movements to complex combinations to match each student's level of experience. More than anyone, this is true for the owner Josh Ryer who sets the culture and tone with his complete mastery of the curriculum and keen eye for perfection in every detail balanced with an easy going laugh and friendly laid back attitude. If you want fitness and fun combined with real world defense training, I hope to see you in class soon!
