Daniel Gracie in Philly has been a wonderful training spot for me. I have gotten to do a few drops in here and the team is wonderful. Professor Fujita is so knowledgeable and kind. I’ve learned so much technique each time I come. The members here are kind and welcoming. Recently got to go when Daniel Gracie was there and it was a great class with a lot of encouragement to keep training.

I’ve been to a lot of different schools in my life and I have to say this is the best one. The Instructors are outstanding! They are extremely knowledgeable and patient. They have a vested interest in helping you improve. What I really like about the school is the people. Everyone is trying to help everyone get better. If you’re new to BJJ or have experience, this is the perfect school. Everyone is very welcoming and has a vested interest in helping you get better. There’s definitely a family environment in the school.

A great BJJ school with an awesome culture and atmosphere. There's people to give you a challenge whether recreational or competitive. Excellent instructor that I would be proud to earn my black belt under.

I’m a current white belt student here & I’m glad I started my training here. Learning from Sensei Fujita and everyone else here is a blessing in disguise. Training is hard but absolutely rewarding. The dojo is very welcoming and family oriented.

I visited a few gyms for their free trials before this one, and I chose this gym because of the welcoming community and the clean, well-kept facility. From day one, it felt inviting, and joining has truly been one of the best decisions I’ve made in my 49 years. Not only am I getting into shape, but I’m also having fun while doing it.
