Review content: 
Well, here I am, 2 years later -- still going strong, and I stand by every word below -- except for the fact that it is easy to park now, since the wine store closed ... *wink*\r \r Unbelievable to have a karate instructor of this caliber in an unassuming, friendly, and affordable karate school. Not a chain, no gimmicks, just real self-defense and fitness instruction for kids, men, women of all ages and backgrounds.\r \r I found this school because I was a woman looking for some self-defense classes, and someone from my gym recommended Josh Ryer. I knew nothing about karate, nor had I ever heard of Josh, but I was inspired by that movie where JLo learns self-defense and kicks her ex-husband's butt. Anyway, I was heartened by the fact that the school was NOT a chain where you pay money to get through each belt level (sorry, Carol -- my sister belongs to one of those and is almost a brown belt ... after 1 year!)\r \r When I saw Josh teach his children's classes, I knew I was in the right place. This instructor really ""walks the walk"" so to speak -- gentle yet powerful, patient guidance with the kids -- it is a blast just to watch these little boys and girls really learning friendly competition, discipline, and self-defense.\r \r Plus, Josh regularly trains with his own teacher(s), and hosts kenpo champs from all over the world -- right here in the 'burgh! He is a a joy to watch -- a grace and elegance that comes only from a top-level athlete.\r \r The best part about it is the mix of people -- age, race, class, gender, weight -- you see everyone there, and there are no pretentions or egos allowed to run amok.\r \r I went from watching JLo (!) to actually earning my yellow belt, plus I do his cardio kickboxing 2 days a week for a great workout that makes me feel like an old-skool boxer.\r \r Best karate school in the 'burgh -- and believe me, I did my research (I teach at Pitt, among other things, so I am critical). Pros: top quality instruction, affordable, great mix of people Cons: definitely put money in the meter, or park on a side street
