My daughter has been taking children's bjj and judo classes here for two years and it has been such a great experience. The teachers are talented and good with the kids. I think my daughter has gained a lot of confidence and she has a lot of fun. I highly recommend Osagame!

This is a great dojo. If you want to learn judo or Brazilian ju jitsu this is a perfect place. High quality and energetic instruction. When my work schedule changed and I could not attend my home gym they welcomed me with open arms. I love the instructors and the students.

I love this place - I mean seriously. I've trained at various other gyms in Philadelphia and so far I haven't gotten that "this is my second family" feeling like I do at Osagame. Osagame offers separate men and women dressing rooms, great specials for new comers, and a great coaching staff. Aside from the staff the people who actually train here are willing to help you grow as martial arts practitioner. If you want to try JUDO or BJJ I would recommend this wonderful place.

When I first came to visit Osagame as a prospective student, it was pouring rain and my cell phone had died. I was lent a charger and offered a ride home by two separate people. I experienced the kindness and sense of community right away. Fast forward two years later, it has lived up to that first impression for me and after experiences with several BJJ gyms, there is no gym I would rather be training at than Osagame. It is like a second home. There is fantastic instruction that helps you really grasp a technique, and a very supportive environment. The gym is co-run by a family and it shows. Instructors know your game on a personal level and notice your growth as a martial artist. Successes are celebrated, failures are lessons you're helped to learn from. Also, unlike many gyms in the area, there are no contracts that lock you in or any high pressure sales. When I was injured recently, my membership was stopped no questions asked, and restarted when I was able to return. You never feel like you're just a check to them, they're completely fair and reasonably priced. All in all, great place to train and make friends!
