Best training in Philly
World class instruction from all instructors. Friendly and helpful students. Great sense of brotherhood from everyone who trains here. If youre a beginner or been training for a while you can get it all here.
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.
Extremely clean environment to learn Jiu jitsu. Flexible class schedule, and very knowledgeable instructors. Everyone is friendly and welcoming to new people as well. Stop by and take a couple free classes to see for yourself.
Awesome place to train. The instructors have years of experience and they know how to handle kids for their kids classes.Definitely a place to send your kids to learn Brazilian Jiujitsu.
World class instruction, a welcoming environment for females, supportive training partners and a lovely facility.
Good, clear instruction. Clean, nice, facility. Welcoming environment for locals, beginners, and visitors. Thanks for the help and the rolls!
Joined up when I moved to Philly, probably the best decision Ive made coming here. Phenomenal instruction, great people, and hard work.
Fabulous kids program. I cant say enough good things. So happy this place exists.
Great gym with excellent instruction and friendly people. Gracie Philadelphia is a great place to start training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for competition, self defense or general fitness. The instructors have years of experience and the students are all enthusiastic. If you are on the fence, stop by and check it out.
Real training. Highest level of instruction. No elitist attitudes, no clicks.
This gym is great for any level of Jiu Jitsu. The facility is the best in the area. Every class is taught by a black belt with over a decade of experience. They provide a class schedule as well as open mat training to fit every lifestyle .
If you want to learn and maintain a solid foundation of Gracie Jiu Jitsu, look no further. The instruction is top notch and attention to detail is paramount. Gracie Philadelphia provides a safe environment for those looking to start their training and those looking to compete. The camaraderie, friendliness, and positivity in this place is amazing. There are no egos and everyone is treated with respect.
Great Training. Serious players!
No-fluff instruction and instructors. Ive been a part of this academy for years - first by driving 2.5 hours once a week and a now as full-time student since moving to Philadelphia. The instructors, Brian and Tim, want to help everyone and have a frank and honest approach about training. Students range from casual workout enthusiasts to tough international competitors of all ages. Its hard to exactly put into words how these guys will never be overly emotional in either positive or negative ways but really care about their students. Up-front salesmanship and no bs tactics; they want you to want to be there. Im a brown belt and have never felt more at home or supported at an academy in all the time Ive been training.
Great, competitive BJJ training!
Amazing Jiu Jitsu school. I have been training with Brian Rago and Tim Sylvester for 10 years off and on. I drive an hour and a half to make the classes because there is nowhere else in the Philadelphia area with as high a level of instruction. Training with Gracie Philly has been the best decision I ever made. Love it!
Very technical instruction and great people to train with no matter your skill level.
Black belt instruction in every class. Some of the most technical and knowledgable instruction I have found.
Great place to train. Great people. Excellent instruction.
I joined Philadelphia Gracie Humaitá just under a year ago and I can honestly say it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made in my life. The instruction is second to none and Professor Brian Rago is also an extremely humble individual that genuinely cares about his students. Whatever your needs, wether it’s just getting into better shape (I just turned 43 by the way and am in the best shape of my life now!), competition, or self defense, Gracie Philly has it. There’s a great mix of people from the competition oriented to the serious hobbyist, like myself, and I feel as if everyone has each other’s safety and well being in mind. The workouts can be intense and it’s probably one of the hardest things I’ve ever done in my life, but I’ve not had a day go by that I don’t anxiously look forward to going to class! If you decide to give Jiu Jitsu a try, my hat is off to you, and I hope you fall in love with it like myself and so many others have.
This gym has the best Brazilian Jiu Jitsu instruction around. Great for anyone looking to get in shape, learn self defense, or learn MMA. If you are a parent, putting your kid in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu will be one of the greatest gifts you can give to them. Not only will your child learn how to defend themselves in REAL life situations, but you will see improvements in all other areas of their lives.
I love this place!
