This place is great. I take my son here and the culture here is more welcoming than other places I've been and really engaged in helping everyone get better. I've been to other 'reputable' Dojos in pgh where the instructors were hit or miss. Some were great, others seemed like they were just passing the time until class was over.

I stopped in for training over the holidays. I echo the good reviews here. What I liked most was the teaching format. The workout was intense which is what I needed. Friendly environment too, would definitely repeat

I like to visit different BJJ schools from time to time and I had a great time at True Believer. Jake, the instructor for the class I attended, is an excellent and patient teacher who is methodical in his approach to teaching technique. He helps to think about the principles at work and not just the moves. I had a great time rolling with the students and teacher there. Good intensity and great technique. Good times all around. Hospitality to visitors is always important to me. I was welcomed here and did not feel like the odd man out at any time. If mat culture is as important to you as technique and aggression, this is a good group to train with.

I trained here while visiting Pittsburgh. Very inviting and friendly, good rolls, clean environment. I'd definitely train here if I lived here.
