Latrobe’s Top Martial Arts School: Champion Martial Arts, Voted Westmoreland County’s Best for 2025

My daughter has been training for 8 months now. Master Sherbaugh is a wonderful instructor. He spends a lot of time with each student focusing on where they thrive and where they need improvement. I highly recommend this school for self esteem building, martial arts training, and a friendly family atmosphere.

Master Sherbaugh's knowledge of muscle mechanics and movement is second to none. He tailors his instruction based on body type and ability, and his self-defense training is practical and highly effective. I hope I will never need to use what he taught me, but I have the knowledge and skills based on his lifelong learning of martial arts. He is kind and compassionate, and the classes are fun and enjoyable. I recommend without reservation!

This is an amazing school. I've never seen a teacher reach so many people on an individual level! Master Sherbaugh can truly teach any age and any skill level. Each student has the ability to grow and improve at their own level with his encouragement. My girls have developed so much in his classes and now compete successfully in tournaments. Once afraid to be in front of people and both at awkward stages... it's been amazing to see them transforming under his instruction!! We recently bought displays for them to display their medals in their rooms. We're definitely proud of their accomplishments... and CHAMPION MARTIAL ARTS is what made them possible!

My two kids and Husband take Karate at Champion Martial Arts, they love it. The Instructor is very Knowledgeable. It is great that Master Sherbaugh teaches discipline as well. He is very patient. He will make you work for your belts in karate and doesn’t just hand them out. We are very happy with his teaching methods.

I met Master Sherbaugh in Sept at a vendor show, uor booths were side by side My Granddaughter was with me and his team was doing demonstration. She watch them very closely, he saw that and asked her if she want to break a board. It took awhile an taking to her she finally agreed. With a few quick lessons, she broke her first board. That was a great starting point for confidence and self esteem. Since then she is a totally different person. He works one on one with students until they understand, he is teaching discipline. Keep up the great job.

I have three boys attending classes, they love it. Has helped them to learn self discipline and respect for others. Master Sherbaugh is great with all of the kids.
