Daniel Gracie Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Philadelphia

My 6 year old Maia is petite and delicate so she’s an easy target for bullies. We joined Gracie’s hoping she would learn to fight but she gained so much more. In just a few weeks Maia’s now standing up to bullying at school, the playground or anywhere really. It’s truly remarkable to see the confidence she possesses. Daniel Gracie’s jiu jitsu methods gave Maia the power of discernment and the ability to protect herself along with her younger sisters. I am forever grateful for the 180 turn around 💙Maia is brave and fearless thanks to you all!

I recently started my training at Daniel Gracie with no experience in the martial art. The atmosphere is amazing! It’s extremely welcoming for people new to the sport, competitive, and the instruction is second to none! I did trials at other gyms throughout Philly but when I went to Gracie it sparked interest immediately and I was exactly where I wanted to be! I would recommend to anybody you won’t regret it!

I signed up for self defense and exercise. I stayed for the people. This is more than a jiujitsu gym - it’s a community. The instructors here are world class. Daniel Gracie is a former world champion and one of the OGs of BJJ - having been trained by the founders of the sport. Fujita, Sideco, Kyle (Judo olympian), Mike - all amazing instructors. But more importantly, you’ll make lifelong friends with people of all walks of life - the only common thread being a shared passion and love for the sport.

The gym and its coaches are welcoming and eager to teach. Jiu jitsu is a martial art that actually delivers what it promises, self defense implementing techniques that work in the real world against a real opponent intending to do you harm. Oh , and it’s fun.

The best gym in the area. Great instruction and detail during class, hard rolls with safe training partners while drilling, and lots of laughs afterward. Wouldn’t train anywhere else!
