Pennsylvania Combat Sports, Greensburg PA

I hear this is a great company to train for and I am waiting to hear back for a consultation.

My only regret is that I didn’t start training sooner. Casey has the real world knowledge for real life situations. All of the coaches are great people who will always stop and help. The gym is extremely clean and disrespect isn’t tolerated. Great for those who are experienced or for someone who’s brand new. This is the best gym in the area. The pricing is extremely fair. The confidence and knowledge you will learn here is unmatched. Not only will you train but you will become a better person. 10/10 would recommend.

All of the other reviews about this place are spot-on. I started training at PACS a couple of months ago with no prior martial arts experience at all, and the experience has been amazing. Professor Casey runs an excellent gym with an equally excellent cast of instructors. The culture here is everything anyone looking to seriously train or learn martial arts should want. PACS' core philosophy is built around the growth of the individual, and if you have the desire and work ethic to succeed, you will find success here. In just under 2 months' time worth of lessons, I have dropped 10 lbs, gained a huge amount of cardio endurance, and most importantly, I have learned many non-physical lessons about improving myself such as discipline, how I conduct myself, and self-confidence. Martial Arts is an excellent source for self-improvement in anyone's life, and I couldn't think of a better place to start and continue on with that journey than at PACS.

Seriously trained at two different gyms in New York City for a few years before stopping due to an injury. When my career brought me to PA, I took nearly eleven years off to focus on work. I decided to get back into kickboxing, and found PACS from searching online.

I'm glad I did, PACS has provided the best instruction I've ever received: instructor is knowledgeable, techniques are nicely broken down, communicated clearly and demonstrated well. A wide range of techniques for all skill levels are taught, from fundamentals to advanced techniques. Classes are balanced with fitness focused segments to drills to skill based lessons. Fundamentals are never glossed over.

Perhaps what I'm most impressed with is Casey's attention to detail: I've learned a number of helpful tweaks and new techniques that have expanded my fighting vocabulary and helped me become more effective overall, including crossover tips that touch on other aspects of fitness such as lifting, stretching, etc. Also impressive is Casey's ability to read the room and adjust to the class on the fly, breaking things down further when necessary.

Classes are welcoming for new students, and the instructor does an excellent job keeping an eye on safety. After a few injuries I sustained fighting where I previously trained, I was happy to see that sparring (which is optional) is well monitored at PACS, helmets are required, and weight/skill levels are properly matched.

I've been at PACS for about a year, which means I've had time to experience it and can honestly compare it to other established gyms.

So, if you've ever wanted to learn to fight but have been on the fence, don't hesitate to sign up for PACS. If you're returning to fighting after many years (like me), I promise your skills will grow here and you'll become part of the community in no time. Highly recommend!
