Do not hesitate to come by and see what this place is about. My son goes here and its been awesome to have this place for him to go to. It is very welcoming here and you can sincerely tell that the kids are having a great time. They are learning, they are getting great exercise and fight/defense techniques, and they are being encouraged every step of the way. The instructors fulfill a healthy balance of fun and discipline for them. Respect is priority and the philosophy is family, school, then jiujitsu and they make sure the kids take that seriously. The instructors are stern but kind, and you can see that the kids thrive in this type of learning environment. It is seriously wonderful that my son and everyone else that goes here has this practice in their life. I know my son really enjoys it. Thanks SAS!
Hooked after my first class.First words that come to mind: atmosphere, energy, community, technique. Everyone made me feel like part of the team not just a paying customer. I’m excited to see what the future brings being part of SAS Team.—OSS!
Great school. My kids love going and its hard to get them to want to go to a class 4x a week. The coaches here keep it interesting and teach real life self defense, fitness and discipline. Coach Anton and his team run a tight ship and Im glad we discovered this place.I highly recommend this school for both kids and adults. I have taken the adult classes and they are challenging and help condition and raise your fitness level. Its a hidden 💎.
I love it here! I thought Id be intimidated as a woman with zero martial arts experience but its been such a welcoming, encouraging, fun, and productive experience. Coach Anton is incredibly knowledgable, patient, and an excellent teacher. He has this amazing ability to teach all ages and experience levels and its pretty cool to witness and be a part of. The other instructors are amazing too, especially while working with the kids. Plus, I appreciate their discounts for women, their focus on self defense and the gym itself is super nice. Highly recommend! -Bri
I came to SAS to check out the gym and did the 7-day free trial. After my first class I was hooked and signed up for a membership before the trial period was over. The owner, Anton, is a great teacher/coach and he really has created an awesome culture at SAS Philly. I had 0 experience when I walked in the door and was made to feel welcome by Anton and the other students. Everyone is very encouraging and will help you work on things that you may find difficult and hard at first. Come check this place out you have nothing to lose and a lot to gain!
Everyone at SAS Philadelphia has welcomed me exceptionally. I had zero experience in any martial arts coming in and Professor Anton has been relentlessly attentive, positive, and passionate in helping me and others grow. Great people do great things here!
This is the best experience for children and everything that is stated in their mission is true and held to high standard. This is most rewarding for children! Respect teamwork morals and values are reinforced with every session.
An amazing experience from the start. As soon as you walk in Anton makes you feel welcome and makes it feel like you’ve known each other forever. He breaks down all the techniques so anyone can understand and there’s something for everyone!
SAS Philly rocks! Coach Anton is an amazing teacher who explains and demonstrates BJJ techniques very thoroughly. You will get the attention needed. Everyone is made to feel welcome at SAS. No showboating - we all lift each other up and have each other’s backs. It’s a FAMILY. Great people, great clean gym...learn and work hard everyday! Oss!
From the very beginning I felt very comfortable at this gym.. Anton is a great instructor. Whether you are learning/reinforcing the basics or are working on advanced movements, Antons ability to teach is incredible. My growth in Jui Jitsu is because of him and the atmosphere that he provides. I highly recommend joining this gym!
I dropped by SAS while I was traveling through town and needed a place to train. Anton and his students were unbelievably friendly and welcoming. Many of the upper belts were also incredibly technical and capable in their jiujitsu abilities. This is a great place to train if you want a welcoming environment combined with high level technique and training.
I love this place! Professor Anton is a legit professional and he has created such a positive and welcoming environment for everyone. He really knows his stuff and he has great intuition with his students.I just started training less than two months ago, but it’s already had an incredible impact on my life. I feel myself slowly getting better, which keeps me coming back for more.If you go check it out, just know it’s going to be tough, but no one is there to hurt you or push you too far. Expect to be a little sore, but have a smile permanently stuck on your face.I highly recommend giving SAS jiujitsu a shot!
SAS Philadelphia has been amazing! Since my very first day I instantly felt like I have a 2nd family. Everyone is very welcoming and helpful. Anton is passionate about wanting his team succeed! If you’re looking to learn the art of jiu jitsu then this is definitely the place to be! I’m glad to be apart of SAS Team 🙏🏼
I had no foundation in martial arts of any kind and was pretty timid to join a studio as an adult. The owner and head instructor Anton is not only super knowledgeable, patient and thorough, but is also a joy to be around and knows how to push his students towards success and confidence. All the coaches rock. The community is thriving, inviting, invigorating and full of many experience and skill levels. Studio is clean, pricing is great and straightforward. I cant recommend this studio enough!!!
Dropped in as an out-of-towner, and EVERYONE was very welcoming; from the instructor to the new students. Everyone. The instruction is excellent, the atmosphere is friendly, and the training is fun and safe.If you want to train BJJ in Philadelphia to get in shape, for self defense, to learn something new, or to challenge yourself - this is the place!-Chris in Buffalo
Amazing place to learn Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu! I had zero experience when I first walked in, but immediately felt welcomed by everyone at the gym. Professor Anton really creates a great atmosphere that focuses on technique and learning the fundamentals of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. The classes are at a very convenient time and it’s in a great location with plenty of parking if you’re not in walking distance.I highly recommend checking out SAS Philadelphia!
SAS is a great place to learn Jiu-Jitsu. Professor Anton takes his time and teaches each and every person there no matter if you are a beginner or more advanced. Professor Anton facilitates a great atmosphere of learning and comraderie and I always look forward to going to classes and learning more.
Came to visit and was welcomed with open arms. Great atmosphere and great training with Anton and his students. I will be back and would highly recommend anyone to come check it out!
Anton is an amazing instructor and really cares about his students and there growth. He promotes positivity and hard work. 🤙💪
I decided to give this place a shot after experiencing how friendly and welcoming everybody was, especially Professor Anton. When I started I was out of shape and had zero experience, but I noticed results both physically and mentally way quicker than I ever expected. These classes are not easy, but they are approached with patience and detail, which makes learning and progression that much more rewarding.
If you are looking to have a family that always has your back, and are professional, the place where you can truly learn and grow, this is a place for you! Hopefully see you soon!
Signed my 4 year old son up recently. He is really enjoying the class. The ratio of instructors to children a fantastic. Often there is 1 instructor for every 2 to 3 students so the children are getting detailed and hands on instruction. The instructors are passionate, inviting and patient. They do a great job of balancing teaching, fun and discipline. The training space is bright and very clean. The other young students are a great bunch of kids. My son is the youngest and smallest and everyone treats him well and makes him feel included. He is quite happy to be there and he really looks forward to going to each practice. I’ll add that there are currently four practices a week for the children representing incredible value. I look forward to watching my son learn and grow in this friendly and inclusive environment!
Highly recommended. Price is solid per month because your child is staying active and is in class 5 days a week. This is a way to teach your child self defense & a lot more.
Anton is a great teacher and takes the time to make sure you get all of the techniques performed correctly. Extremely and friendly environment. The students give off a very welcoming attitude whether it’s your first time or trained for many years.
I am not a member but spent a little more than a week here to prepare for a tournament in the Philadelphia area. The team was very welcoming and supportive. Everyone was so kind and happy to work with me.Antons instruction is top notch. In my short time there he was able to improve my game in ways I still use today.What impressed me most is what I saw in the white belts. It is rare to see the gyms culture reflected in its members so early. If youre looking for a place to train Jiu-Jitsu in Philadelphia, I highly recommend SAS.
My son has been apart of SAS for two months now and absolutely loves it! Everyone is extremely nice and they are very good with the kids.
Sas Team Philadelphia Brazilian Jiujitsu is a great school. Weather you are a high level experience fighter or just a beginner and totally new to Brazilian Jiujitsu, this is the school for you. The head instructor Anton is a very experienced jiujistu competitor, who has competed in tournaments all over the country. I have personally trained for 10 years with Anton and he has taught me so much. The school itself is super clean and hygienic. It is located in a great nieborhood in Fishtown. Come join the team. You wont regret it. This is a great place to get into shape and learn self defense.
If you’re looking for a school with a knowledgeable instructor and a professional family atmosphere this is the place for you. judgment free zone were hardworking individuals thrive. Everyone is so nice and are more then willing to help you through any challenges that may be presented. All and all awesome school awesome family.
We love Coach Anton and his team of coaches at Sas Philly BJJ! The discipline, athleticism, comradeship, and all around joy it brings to the children is so wonderful to see! Very grateful that our children have this amazing opportunity.
Came in just looking for a temporary gym to train while my original one was closed down, and ended up making a great friend. To say that Anton is a passionate teacher and overall great dude is an understatement. Not only is he compassionate and caring with all his students but he took my game to another level. Worked with me, and helped me improve my game. Something I also really benefited from was the daily yoga/stretch sessions before every class. I was already a pretty flexible guy, but now Im even more flexible which in turn also helped my game! The gym itself is immaculate, and extremely clean. Very welcoming and in a great and easily accessible location!Would 100% recommend this gym to anyone no matter what skill level you are!OSS
I have enrolled 3 of my sons 8, 12, 15 in jiu-jitsu classes at SAS. My sons have played a variety of sports thru the years but have NEVER experienced anything like this! Anton the professor and his staff are extremely professional and great with all the children and the adults that attend classes.In a short period of time my children have learned a different level of respect for themselves and their teammates! They have learned more about sportsmanship, respect for themselves and others, dedication, perseverance, discipline at SAS than they have in all the other sports they played combined!!If you are looking for a great environment for yourself or children/child, check Professor Anton and his crew out at SAS Philadelphia Brazilian Jiu-jitsu!
Since my daughter started here. Her confidence levels are through the roof. Anton and his team are awesome people! Kind, patient, all around great environment for children and adults.
So glad I found this place! Stepping into a jiu jitsu gym for the first time can be intimidating, especially if you have no martial arts experience like me. Thankfully, Anton has created a welcoming and friendly environment at SAS where beginners can feel comfortable learning new skills while pushing themselves to get better. The kids classes are a high-energy, fun, and safe way to teach your child self-defense techniques and jiu jitsu. My kids, ages 8 and 12 absolutely love it. The adult classes are structured around learning BJJ fundamentals and proper technique and having the opportunity to apply them in drilling and sparring. Anton is always available to make sure each student is getting the most out of class and his passion for teaching is apparent. Of course, learning BJJ is not easy so you must bring a good attitude and a willingness to work hard and push yourself each class. If so, the benefits of training at SAS are unlimited.
SAS Philadelphia Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is the best martial arts academy for any age in Philadelphia! Anton, the founder and main coach, of course a black belt holder, is a super friendly, welcoming, accepting, kind and straight forward, funny and I could keep going but it’s best if you come and check it all out for yourself. He will teach you skills and discipline that you will master black belt not just on the mat one day but in your daily life. He has changed my and my children’s lives (17&9) and we are grateful to have found him and his academy. There are few other coaches - Nnena and Joe and they are just as amazing! All of them will help you become your best version of yourself no matter what age or point in life you are! Very highly recommended!
My 5 year old son has been enrolled for about 2 months and the coaches have been wonderful. Patient given his age but tough if necessary. Highly recommend .
My kids are doing great there. I joined and I like it as well. Great atmosphere, great instructors, and great training.
If youre a beginner and need to learn the basics, this is a great place! I felt that the coaches were very engaged and broke things down very well. Definitely would recommend over other BJJ gyms in the area!
The experience at SAS Jui Jitsu is welcoming to any newcomers. Everyone is friendly and the professor is fantastic with kids as well as adults. I learned a lot here and only left because I moved away. 10/10 would recommend!-Lyle
Where do I start, I came in having no knowledge or experience of how to do or commit myself to BJJ. Coming in the team was very inviting and accepting of how new I was. I felt welcomed and enjoyed myself from the second I walked through the door. As I stepped foot on the mat I knew this is something I wanted to be apart of and continuing doing with the team. The Professor Anton has such a great vibe it bounces off of everyone in the building and creates a wonderful culture for everyone no matter who you are or what you do. He makes you work hard to become the best version of yourself and that’s all you can ask for in a teacher. The SAS team here is what you call a 2nd family, just a great group of individuals to be around who care for one another. So if you are looking to embark on a new journey why not come in and try out BJJ here with us, affordable pricing too which is unmatched with the culture that comes along with it.
This place is legit! Anton is a great teacher and gives attention to every student. He is very patient and if you are having trouble learning something he will always be there to help. I couldnt have picked a better place to start my jiu jitsu journey! Its more like joining a family then joining a gym, everyone is very welcoming regardless of your skill level. I would highly recommend joining whether you are new to jiu jitsu or an experienced student.
Phenomenal place to change your life for the better. If your looking for a gym in Philadelphia this is it. Professor Anton is an amazing teacher.
Amazing jiu jitsu school! If you are someone that just wants to learn jiu jitsu or someone that wants to compete at the highest level this is the spot. Professor Anton is a world class jiu jitsu coach, teacher, and competitor. The entire SAS team is always looking to help one another improve. This is the way to get into the BEST mental and physical shape of your life!
My son loves to go to class and the instructors are amazing
If you are looking to learn self defense or just getting into better shape I highly recommend SAS Team Philadelphia chapter under Professor Anton. His staff coach Pat and coach Joe are extremely knowledgable and are more than capable in guiding you in your jujitsu journey. The academy has a friendly atmosphere and is accepting to everyone without exception. A true safe zone for all looking to learn Brazilian jujitsu.When I brought my sons to professor anton I had 2 requests first was to get my 13 year old into better shape and second was for my 11 year old to have better self control. It was amazing to see the transformation in my sons in such a short period of time. I was so impressed that 2 months in I decided to give it a shot. At 43 I was in the worst shape of my life. I was nervous to start at my age and herd horror stories in other academys on how they smash new students. That isnt the experience that Professor Anton promotes in his academy. Everyone goes hard but takes good care of there training partners. For me thats extremely important because I have a family to look after.Joining the SAS Team has been one of the best decisions Ive made for my family. We are in better shape physically and mentally. I feel comfortable letting my sons out in this world knowing they are able to defend themselves if needed. Thats a HUGE relief as a parent. Through Professor Anton and the SAS Team Ive met so many new friends in the jujitsu community and look forward to making more. I cant speak highly enough for the peace of mind Professor Anton has provided my family and Im eternally grateful.
Ever since I started doing Brazilian jujitsu with Anton, I felt a big confident boost. He treats everyone equal and we always have room to speak as we please. I drive 20 minutes to come to this place. The reason I do that is because every time I go I have a hunger of wanting more due to the teachings of this Instructor. Every student shows much respect and will treat you as one of their own no matter what color your belt.Wilfredo LopezCo SAS papi
Anton is an amazing instructor, you will not find any school with more personalize instruction from the owner. Best jiu jitsu school in Philly

Great Energy, Amazing Coaching, Clean, Affordable! I also really enjoy the products they sell. Both me and my 5 year old love SAS!!!
The best school in the city...
Anton is a great instructor who welcomes young, older, experienced or any level. His BJJ fundamentals class is awesome where he teaches step by step movements etc... the group of individuals that come to this camp are super cool as well ! Love this camp ! OSS ! SASTEAM !
I cannot recommend Antons gym highly enough. If you are considering sending your kids to BJJ: this is the place. If you are new to BJJ and want to learn in a fun, safe, challenging atmosphere: this is the place. If want to learn BJJ from a knowledgeable, kind, and inspiring black belt: this is the place.I came back to BJJ after a several year hiatus, and I really lucked out when I found Anton and SAS Philadelphia. The space is immaculately clean, bright, and welcoming. The class sizes are small enough to get tons of individual attention, but diverse enough that you get to grow and learn from BJJ practitioners of different ages, sizes, and skill levels. Everyone at the gym has kind, welcoming energy which was very important to me.Antons skill and passion for BJJ is what really sets SAS Philadelphia apart. Anton is a natural coach. He inspires everyone who walks through the door to practice BJJ to the best of their ability. The kids classes are fun filled, but structured and instill values like respect, kindness, safety, and teamwork in the young students. His All Levels classes are challenging and incredibly fun.I find that Antons BJJ curriculum has increased my learning curve immensely. He teaches positions and builds upon them in a way that makes them intuitive. I feel safe while sparring with my team mates, because Anton has built a culture of safety and respect for each other.Contact SAS Philadelphia if youre at all interested in BJJ.
When I first signed up for SAS BJJ, I was scared, intimidated, and overwhelmed. I was new to this realm of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Once I started my first class with Anton, those feelings instantly washed away. Anton was nothing but supportive and welcoming, especially to a beginner. He also ensured that the welcoming atmosphere continued and encouraged teammates to be supportive as well. This attitude creates a bond between everyone which evolves into a strong support system that promotes growth. Outside of the environment, Anton is very knowledgeable in his craft. You can see the passion he has and can see why he is deserving of his black belt. As a woman, I feel better equipped to protect myself with the techniques Anton has taught me. Whether youre looking to join a competitive sport, get healthier, or learn self defense, SAS BJJ is your answer.
Since the day I started, Anton (owner and coach), received me with nothing but beautiful energy.From what I’ve seen, the students at SAS BJJ are tightly knit and are free to express without feeling any type of judgment. This is something I’m most appreciative of energetically.In terms of coaching and physical training, Coach Anton is hands down a beast. Not necessarily just with strength, but his way of showing technique and breaking down proper movements.I feel my jiujitsu has excelled immensely because of the attention to detail invested into this facility.Thank you!!Oss 🙏🏼Saspapi
SAS BJJ is the best workout/gym experience Ive come across, by far. The space is clean, bright, inviting, and exceeds my expectations. More importantly though, is how great the instructors at SAS are. Anton has been an amazing coach from the start and made me feel like I was part of the team even before I stepped onto the mat.I knew nothing about BJJ before I started, and Anton has been extremely patient and kind throughout my journey. Unlike other gyms and martial arts places Ive been to, he doesnt make you feel inferior as a newcomer (and a woman), and its clear he genuinely cares about all of his students. Anton brings a positive energy to each class and his passion for BJJ and teaching shows. His knowledge goes beyond BJJ too. He has taught me so much in the short time Ive been practicing the sport—about nutrition, healthy habits, etc.—and it has made me a better athlete and healthier person overall.My experience at SAS and with Coach Anton has been unmatched and I highly recommend SAS to anyone looking for self-defense or even to just get/stay in shape!
