Great school. Great instructor. Dropped in on two classes from out of town and wish I could make this my home club. Go and learn from the best.

The instructors were very nice. Mr. Idrissi is very helpful. Really good guy. Id recommend checking out the school.

El Idrissi judo USA is amazing! Not only do Ala and Kristen teach us Judo, but they also allow us to have a community of wonderful individuals. They are so supportive and are always looking for opportunities to teach us more. Highly recommend!

Super nice team to work with! The coaches care about creating a community based on respect and growth, and adapt to the needs of the athletes. Overall best judo dojo ever!!

El idrissi Judo feels like home as soon as you step in the door. Everyone is really friendly and builds each other up. Both Alaa and Kristen are super technical with their instruction but also simplify it to make it easier to understand. I’ve known Alaa and Kristen for years and they both always take the time to go out of their way to help everyone in the room. If you are looking to either start your Martial Arts journey or seeking advancement in your already established Judo game, El idrissi Judo is the place for you.

Senseis Alaa and Kristin provide a level of judo instruction that is the best in the area. Not only are they concerned about your progression in judo and on the mat, but also creating people of character. Can’t recommend enough!

Really good place to learn Judo, the classes are fun and informative. Alaa also helps you apply what you learn to other disciplines if you need, its great.

World class instructors... A place where you can hone your Judo skills in a friendly, supporting and loving atmosphere... Ive been training here for a year and i can feel that i improve a lot on my skill and most of all my health.At the time this review is written, Alaa (the head instructor) is on number 1 position in the USA for 66kg, and he just won gold on an International competition in Australia.Come and learn Judo with us where you can learn from the best...

I started Judo in September as my first ever experience with martial arts and I haven’t looked back since. If you’re looking to get into martial arts, judo is FUN and challenging. Alaa and Kristin El Idrissi are amazing instructors and truly do care about your progress. Come join us!

Great place to learn and practice your judo skills. My husband and I attended the grand opening and really loved the coaches. I definitely recommend it to everyone pros and beginners

If you are looking for a place to train BJJ or Judo there is no need to look any further. When I moved to the area I made a list of things I wanted in a studio and no compromises were made when it came to this academy:Great technical instructionSuper clean facilityFriendly and welcoming environmentMultiple martial arts to studyVariety of skill levels in every classFlexible payment structuresIt is a wonderful opportunity to be able to study at this academy.

I love it here. They are very knowlegdeble, friendly, and overall have a great atmosphere. I came for a free class and felt super comfortable and learned a lot. I come back every week since then!

It was almost 10yrs that I had not practiced judo but after crossing the door of this club I was able to rediscover this sensation that I had missed so much.Even though I cant come to all the courses due to my job this is always a pleasure to come on the tatami.

Top level instruction. Great atmosphere. If you want to do sports, and judo specifically, this is the place to go!

Internationally competitive instructors in a family friendly environment~ where technique, teamwork, laughter, hard work and self improvement is all balled into one.

Alaa and Kristin are a power couple that provide high level judo instruction. The knowledge and skills I obtain after training with them is invaluable. Alaa always pulls out modern twists to traditional moves and orchestrates classes that hones technique. The facility is in a nice neighborhood of Philly and it is very clean and attractive. I recommend to all fellow judokas.

Alaa is a great asset to Philadelphia (and US) judo. One does not have to travel abroad to experience the speed and finesse of judo. If you insist on flying, let Alaa spar with you. Dont worry, he will land you safely on your back. Alaa is a great ambassador for Judo - not only is he an extremely skilled and tough judoka, but he is kind and generous with his extensive knowledge. Lucky me!

El Idrissi Judo USA its a judo program at Gracie Academy Philadelphia. Great coaches and great facility

Great teachers! World class Judo and excellent enviornment!
