Very welcoming, and family oriented. Great group of people and the best professionals. Also affordable and not outrageous pricing.
Words cant describe how magnificent this school is...
Just flat out AWESOME! I love to train here. Professor Daniel and his expertise. The environment is pleasant. Everyone here just wants to learn and get better at Jiu Jitsu!
World Class Professors, world class fighters, amazing training and attention to all that come to train. Professor Daniel Gracie has created an amazing atmosphere which is more like a family of friends that you want to see everyday, rather than another gym to come and train at. Whether you are a serious athlete, want to learn self defense, or just want to get in shape, the benefits of training here are endless. They are supportive, kind and friendly and push you to reach your true potential mentally and physically. To add; its clean and affordable, easy to get to, classes for evening and morning sessions, they offer womens only classes, and loads of free parking.
I was looking for a gym where you had true expertise while they focused on cleanliness, training, learning and what the belt color symbolizes, not the color of the belt. This is where you find all that. An amazing stable of black belts, coupled with a huge range of wonderful training partners. It really is a great place to train. But dont take my word for it... come see for yourself.
Great facility ! Daniel is an incredible instructor ! The beat school in philly hands down
All walks of life come here and everyone leaves with a smile on their face at the end of class. This place only attracts great people. People that want you to get better and are always more than willing to help.
Great school to go to in the Philadelphia area if you want to learn self-defense. Professors at the academy are very friendly and are willing to help you and want to see you grow as well as the others who are in the academy. Highly recommend!
Amazing place. I cant say enough about the benefits of bjj and this gym in particular; both on and off the mats. I wish I had found this gym years ago. The whole team is welcoming to all and always looking to teach! Daniel Gracie and his whole team has created something really special for us in Philly here and I am eternally grateful!
Best place to train in the Philadelphia area. In addition to having the best instructors and wide open spaces for training, Renzo Gracie Philly also offers a pure wrestling class and is open 7 days a week. I have yet to come across a school that offers as much. In addition, on any given night, you will find instructors and students from other schools joining in; youre always getting new looks, different people to train with and fresh perspectives. Everyone is extremely friendly, helpful and polite and after a while, you start to feel a sense of family- a home away from home.
Extremely friendly environment. Unbelievably affordable. Incredibly skilled and talented teachers with the knowledge to make you the best ‘you’ that you can possibly be. I would rate this place a six out of five
Really great place to learn self defense. The best
Great instructors. Huge facility. Tons of free parking. Open 7 days a week with classes as early as 6am and as late as 830pm. Whether youre a 9-5er or a Pro Fighter, theres something for everybody here. Ive trained at several other schools in the Philadelphia area and in all honesty theres no other school of this caliber, with this much mat space, with this pricing anywhere in the City. By far, Renzo Gracie Philly has some of the nicest, and most talented people Ive ever trained with. It truly feels like your Second Home and Second Family 👍
The best MMA and jujitsu gym I have ever trained at. This place changed my life for the better. The instructors here are world class.
Hands down the best place to train in Philly. Learning from Daniel and Sideco is truly an honor. Everyone in the gym is respectful, approachable, friendly and always willing to teach. From beginners to professional fighters, everyone has their place here. The individualized attention and teaching you will receive from top level black belts is like no other academy around. If youre looking for a place to train BJJ in Philly this is the place to be.
Nice space. Great instruction and friendly atmosphere! Hard training with zero attitudes! Love this place! Price is more than fair!
Super welcoming! Class instructors were awesome, really know their stuff. Had a great time. Ill gladly keep coming back.
The staff and people who train at Renzo Gracie Philly will always welcome people. It truly is a unique place filled with unique individuals. We have fighters and average joes who come to this place for different reasons but we all come back because it eventually becomes family.
This place is the bomb-dot-com. The instructors are great and everyone is friendly and helpful. I love that theres a womans BJJ class. Best place in the woooooooooooorld.
Best place in Philly to train!!
Great place!!! Everyone is so humble and polite. The kids learn so much.
These guys have world class instruction with a wealth of experience, everyone from the front desk to the mats are friendly, and its the best jui jitsu gym in Philly in my experience. I love training here because of the phenomenal instruction, but also the training partners are great. Do yourself a favor and come try this gym.
Great instructors friendly atmosphere.
Best gym in the city by far. More high level bjj players train here than anywhere else in the city so always a ton of good competition - but also great space to start u if youve never done it before! Also - everywhere in the city teaches Gracie BJJ - but this is the only gym in the city that is owned by an actual Gracie (Daniel Gracie). Doesnt make much sense to go anywhere else - especially seeing that Renzo Gracie Philly is the most affordable gym from what Ive found! Come on through!
Ive been training for over ten years and this gym surpasses all the gyms in the area. If you just want to get in shape and learn self defense or want to be a professional fighter there is no better gym. Very friendly and biggest gym in philadelphia.
If you’re looking for a place to train BJJ, in the Philadelphia and South Jersey area check this place out. The only place in the area that has a actual Gracie teaching classes and the staff is great.
Great place to learn. The gym facility is spacious and clean. There are often multiple black belts around for mentorship. And of course if you are looking to practice bjj, theres no one better to learn from than the Gracie family. Its like drinking fresh water straigh from the fount.
Great my children and step children and my self love it. It wonderful experience
Number 1 school in the city. Training from an actual Gracie, and people who want to see you improve both physically and mentally. It is very much hands on and you will jump right in. However do not let that discourage you because everyone will work with you and never seek to injure you.
Best gym in Philly hands down!Great place to train with week around classes for a great price.love the coaches and couldnt ask for more out a gym,extremely recommend this place to everyone.
My kids and I love it! They are so welcoming and humble! Feels like family! Come in and try it!
Great gym great atmosphere I highly recommend trying a class to either be a fighter or get in shape
Amazing place to train. Ive started jiu jitsu somewhat later in life and in a short period of time my health and confidence has transformed and I feel that Ive progressed well in this practice. All the instructors are not only experts but always ready and willing to help you. Having as many black belts including a member of the Gracie family always on deck is a true privilege. Not only is there jiu jitsu but amazing instruction in Kickboxing/Muay Thai. The scheduling works out great for me. Renzo Gracie Philly has an awesome and diverse community of people, I always look forward to training here.
Called while I was I. PHILLY....they told me to come in and were happy I was in town.Im a purple belt and when I got there I was greeted by very polite and hard working people...no ego....Had a blast and received great techical lessons....Im GOING BACK
Renzo Gracie Philly is a great school with top notch instruction by world class fighters who are also extremely kind, patient, and good natured people. Beyond that, what really struck me about Renzo Gracie Philly when I first joined was the sense of community. Everyone is truly welcoming to people of all ages, genders, body types and skill levels. Not just the instructors but the students are very friendly and encouraging to everyone who walks through the doors. Everyone regards each other as friends and teammates and people are genuinely happy to help each other learn and cheer each other on. Techniques are taught that are appealing to people of all skill levels, and the instruction is always clear, with plenty of time to practice moves and plenty of personal attention from instructors and higher belts. I would absolutely recommend Renzo Gracie Philly to anyone, whether you’re just starting out or are already experienced.
I’ve been training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for 9 years and have had the opportunity to train all around the country. Renzo Gracie Philly has the best community I’ve ever been apart of.
Ive been a member of this team since the gym opened. Professor Daniel and Sideco have both helped me reach my goals on countless occasions. Brown belts royal, mike and Adrian always offer advice and techniques to the lower belts with out hesitation and every member of the team feels like a member of my family
Renzo Gracie philly is the greatest mma gym in the city. They offer classes everyday of the week both in the morning and evenings so I never have to miss training because of work. All the instructors are very knowledgeable and encouraging, and the atmosphere is very friendly and welcoming. Come try a class, I guarantee you’ll love it.
Best Jiu Jitsu gym in all of philadephia. The professors there are extremely knowledgeable and motivate you to keep going back to more classes. All of the members of the gym are very friendly and are always willing to help you. Very clean gym with many programs you can get into. Training is available EVERYDAY! So you never have an excuse to not be there! I love my experience at Renzo Gracie Philly and I recommend anyone interested to come check it out. You will not be disappointed. That’s a FACT! It’s a family that just wants to watch and help everyone grow and progress.
Best bjj school in and Philly. Expert training for a unbeatable price.
I’ve been to multiple gyms but their pro fighters are on another level. Great gym for Bjj and mma!
Renzo Gracie Academy is a great school..a great place to learn self-defense and also to protect loved ones. We have great teachersWant to build confidence and learn how to fight and defend yourself and others come to Gracie Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy I Philadelphia PA
Im so glad that I found this place! Three years ago, I found Renzo Gracie Philly via Yelp and started with Muay Thai class. Now, Im taking all classes (Juijitsu Including No Gi and Gi, Muay Thai, Kick boxing, MMA striking and wrestling) that were offered by Renzo because people are so nice and helpful here. The wresting coach Cody is very thorough and making sure you progress which is great that you dont just waste money. Cody is also a current MMA fighter who is actually passionate about teaching you to get better. Daniel Gracie is the owner of gym who is also teaching Juijitsu and MMA striking - Daniel is a former BJJ, MMA champion, so you know you are in good hands. Sideco is a great jujitsu instructor who is also actually still fighting in BJJ and MMA - he would actually tell you if you even move one finger incorrectly. If you want to learn traditional Jiujitsu, this place is perfect for you. People are so protective toward each other with good ethics, and keep making sure that you dont get injured. I have no family here in Philly and these people became great big family. Whatever your goal is, people will motivate you to get there. Youre not only getting your exercise, but also learning technics of self-defense. Trust me, You will be hooked !!
Best academy in Philly... I love this place
Great Girls BJJ class. Totally recommend it
I had never trained a martial art or really taken part in any sport before so was suitably nervous about going down and trying out the academy but the staff and trainers were very welcoming and I was instantly put at ease and knew this was the right place for me. They provide world class training at the best rates in town, there is always at least one black belt (usually more) present at every class and they have classes (Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Womens only BJJ, Kids BJJ, Muay Thai, Kickboxing, MMA, Wrestling) everyday of the week.Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is perfect for getting/staying in shape, loosing weight, gaining and toning muscle, self defence and can even help with decision making and dealing with high pressure situations. The teachers at Renzo Gracie Philly understand this and everyone is welcomed as an equal no matter what background they come from or physical abilities they possess.RGP is an ego and attitude free academy with trainers and students who are friendly and happy to help each other out. Joining RGP has been the most positive step I have ever taken for my mental and physical well-being and I only wish I had started years ago.

This is the greatest jiujitsu/martial arts school you can possibly ask for. #1 in Philly. More classes than any other school around 7 days a week there are multiple high level black belts teaching and and helping you to progress at any given time you walk through the door. Its a great close knit family atmosphere and from the minute you walk in you feel a part of it. There are multiple classes throughout the day from muay thai to cardio kickboxing classes jiujitsu mma and wrestling. If you want to get in shape, learn martial arts and self defense and just have a great time you need to be here.
Daniel gracie gave me my purple and brown belts, and given enough time and barring any major catastrophe, he’ll one day give me my black belt. Jiu-jitsu is a life long journey with a beginning and no end. I’m happy and grateful to have team Renzo Gracie and coach Daniel Gracie as my jiu-jitsu family. I travel to NYC for work as well, and when I do, I know I have a gym to train at in both midtown Manhattan and Williamsburg Brooklyn. With renzo gracie affiliates all over the world, there is always a place to train. The only way to know what I’m talking about is to drop by the gym and find out for yourself how much of a community we have here.
Renzo Gracie Philly is the best Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu school in the city. You have solid fundamentals in both Gi and nogi grappling taught to you by one of the pioneers of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Daniel Gracie.One of the things that makes Daniel stand out is the detail with which he teaches. In many schools they just show you the moves. Daniel and his assistant coaches teach the principles behind the technique. This gives you an understanding of not only what works but why it works and how it works. It is this fundamental conceptual difference that leads to better outcomes.There is a saying that you Jitsu is for everybody. Just could not be more true at this gym. You get world athletes who come here to increase their skills. You see hobbyists who are only looking to train out of Interest. And you see nerds like me who see Brazilian jiu-jitsu more as an academic exercise than just a martial art or a sport.This gym is great if you just want to get some good exercise, it is amazing if you want to learn self-defense and it is perfect if you want to be a competitor in either Brazilian jiu-jitsu no GI grappling or MMA.
I’ve trained at so many Jiu jitsu/Mma gyms in my day but Renzo Gracie Philly is by far the best. Daniel Gracie, Sideco, John, Cody and crew are all phenomenal coaches that provide a fun training environment. I’ve seen more improvemt in the last 1 1/2 than I’ve seen over the last 5 years. Renzo Gracie Philly has made me the best gorilla I can be. I highly recommend it.
Great place to learn jiujitsu, wrestling, Muay Thai and MMA!
