An outstanding Jiujitsu gym, all around. I dropped in from out of town and the experience was great. I got a prompt response to my inquiry, and went to an early class. Great instruction from Paul. The staff was professional, courteous, and respectful. The facility was very clean, well organized, and well appointed. If you’re looking for great Jiujitsu training in a cool part of Philadelphia. Check out the Jiu Jitsu Company. It is one of the best Jiu Jitsu gyms in Philadelphia. I will be making it my regular place to train Jiu Jitsu when I travel to Philly.

I’ve been training at The Ju Jitsu Company (JJC) for about six months, and the experience has been fantastic. Both Coach Josh’s expert feedback and Angie’s approach create a supportive, welcoming environment. One of the things I appreciate most is their flexible schedule—they have classes throughout the week, even on Sundays. Also, the “Drills and Skills” class is a game-changer: you pick what you want to work on and receive personalized coaching. I highly recommend JJC for anyone looking to learn and grow in Jiu Jitsu.

Visiting philadelphia so dropped into their sunday open mat. It is just around the corner from the 2nd street metro station. I booked my hotel on the mfl line to make it easier to get there. The owner mentioned that he doesnt usually allow non-members to the open mat because he isnt there to make sure they are safe to roll. He happened to be there so it was all good. We both joked that everyone says they roll light.. Everyone was incredibly welcoming and rolled super smooth and chill matching my pace, even the 8 month white belt (though Im sure you could get hard rolls if you want). The gym was immaculate and had a shower and a changing room.

You won't find better training in or around Philadelphia. I've known Josh and Angie for about 6 or 7 years now and met them when they coached/trained elsewhere. Aside from group instruction I've also done countless private sessions with Josh over the years and he's an open book, incredibly personable, and brilliant at his craft. They're two of the best people you could hope to meet let alone get the pleasure of training with, so if you're thinking about Jiu Jitsu this is the place to be.

JJC is really a great BJJ club for fun, community and to get good at grappling skills. Three reasons to sum them up: 1) High emphasis on positional sparring. When training BJJ, positional sparring improves skills better than just random rolling or “fighting.” After every class and drilling, there’s positional spars involved, to test or to sharpen the skills after training. It really helps me a lot here! 2) Wednesday Drills & Skills. Most schools follow a curriculum or that it’s the “teacher’s lessons.” On Wednesdays, if there’s something you want to work on, whether it’s cool YouTube or competitions skills you personally want to work on, or even from Hollywood, Wednesday’s the best place for your personal training. And, Josh will come around help each person’s individual projects as best as he can. 3) If you value safety above all else, this school really emphasizes it. Every class, they always constantly repeat “Remember, look out for yourself, your partner’s safety and everyone around you. We don’t want anyone to be hurt.” It’s too much to count how much. Pretty much every class, they say that. And so far, nobody got hurt during drilling and training. Great club, and great coaches. Angie & Josh Vogel and everyone else are great people! We may be a bunch of weirdos! But, we’re still a fun bunch. All personalities are welcomed to this Band of Misfit Pirates here, In an Adventure with Scientists!

Returned to the sport from a long absence and checked out several gyms before picking this one. Josh and Angie have carefully constructed a gym culture built around respect, mutual benefit, and focused on building technical skills instead of egos. The benefit of this culture is much more than just a nice perk for the gym's members: Jiu Jitsu is an art form and a sport with inherent risks, but their approach minimizes the risk to one's health and maximizes one's longevity. Furthermore, their teaching style is focused on technical application of proper technique and helping students develop their own problem solving abilities, such that they can do more than just read the music of Jiu Jitsu, they can write their own. When training here, it's obvious that no one here cares more about beating you than they care about your safety, and this is not something that can be said for many of the gyms that teach this art form. The best proof of their gym's superior culture and thoughtful teaching style is the nature of the white belts (beginners) at this gym: by far the least thrashing and flailing, most fundamentally and technically sound, and calmest white belts I've ever trained with, and that speaks volumes about the power of the culture of this gym and the quality of its instruction. Combat sports have always been plagued by toxic competiveness and ego that increases everyone's risk of injury and ruins everyone's fun. This gym is a carefully constructed oasis of good attitudes and great culture that must be protected. If you're looking to train Jiu Jitsu without suffering through abusive and aggressive attitudes and constant injuries, there's no better place in town. It's also a well-kept and aesthetically pleasing facility, nice staff and patrons, clean bathrooms, quality mats, and even has a patio. Should you find any unlettered bad reviews of this gym from histrionic and pathologically egotistical types, know that it is simply further evidence of the quality of this gym. Simply put, highly recommend.

I started training at JCC this year. I had no idea what to expect having very little to no background in martial arts and yet, once started, my enthusiasm for the sport has only continued to increase exponentially. I truly believe that this enthusiasm was largely spawned by the warm and welcoming atmosphere JCC has cultivated over the years. I highly reccomend starting or continuing your Jiu Jitsu journey at this wonderful gym!

I started training Jiu Jitsu in March of this year (2023) and have had nothing but positive experiences at The Jiu Jitsu Company. Josh and Angie have built an outstanding community that embodies the school’s slogan: “Good Training, In Good Company”. The training team, across all levels of the curriculum, are excellent. The facilities (changing rooms, gym equipment, mats, showers, etc) are top notch and clean. My training partners are all respectful, friendly and down to earth. If you’re looking for a school that supports its athletes through community and an organized approach to BJJ, look no further. After only training for 6 months I won double gold (Gi and No-Gi) at my first competition; a testament to the standard of excellence, extensive support, and professionalism that make up the fabric of this school. JJC is the real deal!

From the moment you step into The Jiu Jitsu Company, you're greeted by an atmosphere that is both welcoming and professional. The core values of the establishment - culture-forward, accessible, and inclusive - are evident in every aspect of the training and environment. The expert instructors, led by Josh and Angela Vogel, bring a wealth of knowledge and experience. Josh, a multi-degree black belt with over 18 years of experience, and Angela, also a black belt with a decade in Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai, ensure that every session is both challenging and rewarding. The facility itself is immaculate, boasting top-quality Zebra mats and Rogue lifting equipment, complemented by spa-quality showers and amenities. It's not just a gym; it's a space where you can genuinely focus on your training and well-being. Moreover, the partnership with Wodify adds a unique touch, integrating technology into the training experience. This allows members to access training schedules, curricula, and personalized feedback, enhancing the learning process even outside the gym. As a member, I've seen firsthand how The Jiu Jitsu Company fosters a community where everyone, regardless of skill level, feels valued and supported. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced practitioner, this is a place where you can grow, learn, and be part of a vibrant community. Highly recommended for anyone interested in Jiu Jitsu in Philadelphia!

JJC has always facilitated a safe and thoughtful training environment.. not to mention the changing rooms and bathrooms are always spotless with towel service... their water is also triple filtered which is nice in Philly. Class times are consistent and when there are changes, they communicate this well in advance via their instagram page. I’m a relative beginner and have a great time rolling with a range of folks from white to brown belts, with the higher belts making me work for it, but also not just submitting me within 3 seconds (which I know they could). To the Shane guy who recently posted a 1 star review, you ragged on white belts for not being good in gi in the FUNDAMENTALS class.. how else do you recommend beginners improve? Then you continued to insult the instructor and owners of JJC as if you were the godfather of jiu jitsu.. even if you were, you’d then understand the respect and discipline aspect of the sport. Cmon dude, do better.

This place is hands down amazing! I’ve been training here for the past 2.5 months, and have been extremely happy with everything here. Having previously trained at several other Jiu Jitsu gyms, JJC is a literal breath of fresh air. Everyone from the ownership to the coaches and the training partners are friendly, encouraging, and willing to help you achieve whatever your goals are. I have never felt left out or judged, which has sadly happened before at other gyms. The curriculum is structured so that you think more critically and use what you’re learning actively. I have already changed my approach to training, and I’m already seeing tangible results. There are ample extra opportunities to expand on your training, and Josh and Angie go above and beyond to provide the ultimate Jiu Jitsu experience for their students. There are students of all levels here too, and whether you’re in the fundamentals or advanced program, you’ll get a great education. I can’t wait to see where my progress will go from here. I didn’t even talk about the facilities yet. It has everything a Jiu Jitsu practitioner could ever dream of: clean mats, two bathrooms with showers, full amenities, and towel service, changing rooms, a lifting area and multiple opportunities to practice yoga and recovery. And gummy bears. I can’t forget the gummy bears to fuel your training or the rest of your day. I live in southern New Jersey, and there are plenty of gyms close to home for me. The fact that I’m willing to commute to Philly multiple times a week to take class here speaks volumes as to the quality of instruction I’m receiving here. This is my Jiu Jitsu home. Run, don’t walk, and come train here. You will love it too.

Beautiful and Unique Gym with Innovative Coaching and Training Only Found Here I travel a lot and have had the opportunity to train at facilities all over the United States and the world. One thing I have learned is that there are multiple levels of gym and training quality. I haven’t seen a bad gym yet but I can easily say that this gym is world class and at the top of the places I have visited. Smaller and cozy but roomy enough to accommodate good class sizes. Excellent ambiance, friendly trainers and participants, clean and inviting… the list goes on. The top thing that set this gym apart was the involvement of the Vogels. As a visitor to gyms, I often call to make sure I can participate and, in the couple hours it takes to make it to the gym, the person I talked to has forgotten all about our conversation. Here, Josh came out and immediately greeted me along with Angie and gave me a quick tour of the facility. I felt like a VIP even though I was merely a visitor. The instruction was fantastic, I did everything on the Wednesday evening menu. Fundamentals class worked on true fundamentals and, even though the subject was one of my favorite techniques that I am already well versed in, I learned a ton. The next hour was the Skills & Drills… sounds basic enough but it’s way more than what the class title suggests. Josh has an approach to skill acquisition akin to Project Based Learning where you pick something you want to improve and you work it with a partner using a structured approach laid out and coached by Josh. You get three levels of feedback: self, your partner, and Josh… and you work this one move for the entire hour. Josh then gives advice on how to build this into a multi week program to “perfect” your technique. Gym owners set the culture of their gyms. Josh and Angie have turned this into an amazing place. Beautiful design, music for rolling was a welcome relief to the usual gangster rap or aggressive metal featured most places (90s music was featured when I was there), and Josh’s many references to music, video games, and sushi as analogy to BJJ is extremely unique. You can tell that he thinks about this sport a lot. I would solidly place him and the gym into the magic of how American style BJJ is evolving this sport. The Jiu Jitsu Company is the perfect place for a beginner to start their BJJ journey as well as a place for seasoned veterans to progress. I got a chance to roll with a competitor from the gym. The guy I rolled with slowly, steadily, and gently had his way with me for a full round. If I lived in Philly, I can imagine that the rabbit hole of growth is quite extensive. I’m now looking for an excuse to get back if only to train again here. It’s definitely a destination gym. Highly recommend.

I dropped in on Wed/Sat for class and open mat respectively. Coach Tanner (I think that was his name) went over guard passing and was very patient while I learned the torreando pass. On Sat I got some awesome rolls with some dope people. Everyone was kind, friendly and careful. At no point in my rolls did I ever feel like I was in danger of getting hurt/injured. It was all just beautiful controlled chaos. The gym is clean, they have showers, a dedicated changing room and it's climate controlled. I cannot wait to come back to Philly again and stop in for class. Thanks again TJJC! Ossss

The first time I ever trained BJJ was at The Jiu Jitsu Company. At the time I knew nothing about the sport, but I was excited to try it out. I trained there for 8 months and eventually moved back home to Long Island, NY. I recently went to a Jiu Jitsu gym here and it made me realize how special JJC is. So much so, I felt the need to write this review. Now let me brag about JJC real quick... First and foremost, JJC instructors are patient! They explain techniques clearly, give reasons for every little adjustment, and allow the students to troubleshoot problems as they arise. Instructors and higher belts are always willing to answer questions without getting frustrated or annoyed. The fundamentals curriculum is organized in a way that makes sense, and classes are structured so that students get the most out of each session. They are kind and welcoming, no egos, no judgements. I am so fortunate to have started my BJJ training at a place as wonderful as JJC. Thank you Angie & Josh for providing the jiu jitsu community with this space, I truly did not know how good I had it.

Whether you’re a beginner looking to get started on your BJJ journey or a more experienced practitioner looking for a new BJJ home in Philadelphia, look no further than The Jiu Jitsu Company. What Josh and Angie have created at The Jiu Jitsu Company is the embodiment of what the ideal BJJ school should be and be able to provide. An accessible and convenient location off public transport, an ample amount of mat space for training to take place on, clean and pristine showers and facilities, amenities such as multiple water stations, towel service, and a dedicated recovery/strength and conditioning area, extremely technical and knowledgeable instructors that have built robust beginners and advanced curriculums that promote problem solving skills, and a culture and training environment full of training partners that are not only warm and welcoming but also able to perform well on the competition scene. I give The Jiu Jitsu Company a perfect 5/5 stars and HIGHLY recommend it to everyone. 😃

The seminar was brilliant and provided so many good tips on improving positional strength. I recommend this awesome school to anybody considering learning jiu jitsu in the old city area. ** edited a year later for future review After attending the seminar listed above, I decided to join the jiu jitsu company. Angie and josh welcomed me with open arms and the transition was seamless. From the other members being so friendly and easy going, to the spotless changing room/facilities - this gym is top tier. What stands out the most to me is the attention to detail josh and Angie show while teaching and preparing for classes. Any question you have will be met with an informative answer and or vivid analogy that will leave you with your answer. If you’re thinking of contacting the good people over at the jiu jitsu company, what are you waiting for?! You won’t regret trying out this well run business with owners that care about each and every student.

Josh and Angie are passionate business owners and detail oriented in the presentation of their Jiu Jitsu and their space. Top notch and friendly. I’d give more stars if I could.

Attended a seminar there a while ago. Place was immaculately clean, content taught was phenomenal, and training partners were the right mix of fun and focused for me!

Dropped in for a weekday afternoon class in early December. As a visiting black belt, you sometimes aren't really sure what you're going to get; sometimes nobody wants to train with you, other times you get all the heavy hitters wanting to simulate the Mundials. I had a blast training with Angie, Josh and their crew and absolutely loved my experience there. The gym is centered in a great part of town, has a ton of amenities (even towel service!), good folks and good training. I would highly recommend dropping in if you are visiting Philadelphia.

10/10. Highly recommend. Josh, Angie, and all the instructors are great. You will receive high level instruction that will elevate your game. They apply a systematic approach to teaching through different curriculums/blocks that build off of each other as well as encouraging problem solving to find solutions to different problems you could come across. You have access to gi, no gi, leg locks, judo, and wrestling classes all in one place. The gym is also immaculately kept.

I have been training here pretty much since they opened and feel I'm long overdue to share a review. Whether you are a total beginner, seasoned competitor, or a hobbyist, this is an excellent place to learn and train BJJ. The location is convenient, the facilities are clean, the instructors are knowledgeable, the schedule is robust, and they are upfront about pricing. I could write a glowing review for this gym based on those qualities alone. But what really separates JJC from other gyms is the culture that Josh and Angie have cultivated here. You can expect to train with respectful, welcoming, and thoughtful training partners every time you show up at JJC. This is so important because when you train BJJ, you are putting a lot of trust in your training partners. Who you train with can really impact how you learn and advance. Not to mention training safely with good partners lowers your risk of injury. I would even argue that out of all the factors, who you train with has the biggest impact on your longevity in the sport. That is why I want to really emphasize this quality of JJC. Josh and Angie go out of their way to create a community that is welcoming and encourages learning at all levels. You won't find overly aggressive meatheads with fragile egos here. You will find skillful practitioners who will challenge you to improve your Jiu Jitsu. I cannot recommend this gym enough!

I love training here, the instruction is top-notch and coaches roll with all students on the regular and help with individual problem solving. The atmosphere is welcoming and safe. After a little over a year here, I'm very happy with the community. Classes are a combination of gi and no-gi. Somethings you don't realize what you were missing until you know, like the *spotless * showers, mats and facilities overall. Accessible by driving or by SEPTA. Usually plenty of women in each class too. Highly recommend you come check it out!! :)

If you’re looking for the best Jiu jitsu experience in Philly (in most places, for that matter), look no further! Excellent instruction, great people and atmosphere, and a top-notch facility (equipped with showers and AC, to boot). As someone who has practiced Jiu jitsu for multiple years, My first six months at JJC have seen drastic improvements in the way I think about jiu jitsu and my overall game. Josh, Angie, and all the coaches are great teachers and extremely worthwhile people who really care about their student’s progress both as Jiu jitsu players and as people. They take jiu jitsu seriously, but not in a way where there is pressure to compete or training stops being fun. Moreover, the team really supports each other and does plenty of socializing outside of class. Awesome place to train and make friends!

Best in the city! Both myself and my son have taken classes here. Mine 9 year old son has learned to love BJJ here. At his first school it was a battle to get him to go to one class a week. At JJC he's disappoint if he can't make 3. All the teachers are great. All the students are great. The atmosphere is perfect. It's, light hearted and easy going, while still maintaining a level of discipline and respect required for the mastery of BJJ. The JJC is different and stands out from other schools, in all the best ways.

I’ve dropped into many jijitsu gyms, The Jijitsu Company rates right up there as one of the coolest experiences I’ve had. Super friendly people! I was traveling light and didn’t have a gi (they let me borrow). Really diverse group of training partners (high level and beginner friendly alike). Young and old, plenty of females athletes. The way Josh and Angie break down the curriculum is awesome. Lots of problem solving, time to work on your own “projects”. I particularly enjoyed that each class has time dedicated to flow wresting (which seems to be lacking in many academies I’ve been to). The location can’t be beat. Olde City Philly is an amazing neighborhood and the gym itself is beautiful (exposed brick, top notch mats, very clean, showers with towel service, plenty of room to hangout and chat or stretch before/after training. And every class I attended I got a killer workout and learned new things. A+ gym and people!

Finding The JJC has been a dream for our family. The way they approach teaching the kids is amazing. They take BJJ skills, mixed in with positivity to foster growth and build self confidence beyond the mat. Our daughter loves the classes and is always smiling. Angie and John are so welcoming and the space is beautiful.

Look, if your goal is to get highly technical and improve as quickly as possible, there is no other place in Philadelphia to train. Forget the "old school" way of learning where you just train with a bunch of good people and get better by accident. There are no classes with instructors teaching random moves you are supposed to integrate into your game. Every class builds each week with focus on a set of actions/reactions/finishes from a given position. This school is about structured problem solving with intensive individual attention by Angie and Josh Vogel. They will force you to play out of uncomfortable situations so you can learn elegant solutions for when you find yourself in those spots. It is impossible not to improve rapidly if you put the time into this process. The mat culture is competitive, friendly, and collaborative. Not to mention the facilities are extremely nice, with showers and towel service that rivals what you might have at your house. Don't just read this review. Come to the school and see the quality for yourself. It literally sells itself.

Josh and Angie Vogel's approach to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is thorough, detail oriented, and systematic, with a curriculum that matches with it's cohesive structure, relevance, and approachability. Aside from their professional duties, the Vogels are amazing people, with a gym culture that reflects that. Inclusivity and warmth are at the forefront of their values, and the people who train there create an environment that is unmatched. It is a wonderful place to learn, grow, and fold clothes with your friends still in them. The facilities are impressive. Two beautiful bathrooms with showers, as well as a changing room with access to a patio for relaxation are included in the amenities, and the mats themselves are top of the line Zebra mats. The main training area has many plants hanging in the large window, adding to the vibe. All in all, between the facilities, curricular content, and training environment, I couldn't recommend Jiu Jitsu Co. more!

Before I decided where to start my BJJ journey, I tried four different gyms in Center City / Old City. Out of these places, the Jiu Jitsu Company had: - beginner-friendly, structured curriculum and classes, making it relatively easy for me to start from nothing; - a new, clean, and beautiful facility; and - owners that are not only excellent BJJ practitioners and instructors but also very much accessible. No other gyms possessed all three properties at once.

So many good things to say about this place. The training environment is really incredible. Josh, Angie, and the other instructors are awesome. You can tell that they put a lot of thought into both the curriculum design and teaching methods. They make difficult concepts easy to wrap your head, arms, or legs around. The instructors and members are also all really friendly and welcoming people. Jiu jitsu can seem complicated and intimidating at first, but everyone here makes it feel easy, safe, and fun. The gym culture is really special and makes every class a pleasure to attend. The facilities are also top notch. The Old City facade might have you thinking it's small, but there's a shocking amount of immaculately clean mat space. And that's just the beginning. Need to get in a couple hundred squats before class? There's a dedicated strength and conditioning area. Feeling gassed after spending all night in bottom side control? There's gummy bears to fuel your ride home. Does your SO scream and run away when you get home and try to hug them? There's two luxurious showers to wash away your cumulative sweat stench after class. TL;DR This is an amazing gym that I'm glad to be a part of.

What a wonderful community. JJC is inclusive, diverse and warm. I am incredibly impressed by their coaches, their member athletes and their facilities. Expect to try fresh homemade bread and gourmet gummy bears after a hard training session!

I went to the Center City Balance jiu jitsu gym from June to December. It wasn’t until I switched to the Jiu Jitsu Company that I realized what I was missing. You can imagine how much I have to like JJC more to give up the 10 minute walk from Balance to my apartment! Many of the teachers at Balance do not provide nearly as much feedback as the teachers at the JJC. I felt so much more excited to go to class and learn because of the detailed and organized curriculum and THE PEOPLE. When I was younger I went to a different BJJ school in NJ. I feel like the JJC is superior because of how attentive the teachers and students are and because it is the nicest and cleanest of the three gyms. Josh and Angie will know your name and actually care about your jiu jitsu journey. I wish a gym like the JJC was around when I was younger and first starting jiu jitsu because I never would have quit!

The Vogel's approach to bjj is unique and structured in such a way that anyone can learn, regardless of skill level or experience. Josh and Angie have created the most welcoming environment I've ever experienced at a gym. They will greet you with a smile and warmth and do everything to make every person comfortable. The environment they have cultivated is present in everyone who trains there. Any day of the week you will find welcoming and encouraging people to train with from brand new white belts all the way up the ranks.

Josh and Angie are phenomenal coaches with extensive BJJ knowledge, and their capacity to effectively communicate it to their students is laudable. Their teaching styles are methodical and systematic which establishes a foundation for high level instruction. Their facilities are immaculate and rife with amenities including showers/spa services, and even rogue lifting equipment. However, most notable is perhaps the community constituents whom are all amicable, considerate, and a joy to be around. It's always a pleasure to train here, and I highly recommend checking it out!

The Jiu Jitsu Company offers an incredible atmosphere, culture, and curriculum. The Vogel's put a lot of effort into creating a safe, clean, and welcoming environment. I encourage everyone who is considering starting to walk in because you will come back! Finally, you will learn from one of the most technical instructors in the area.
