I started training with Philadelphia JiuJitsu this past summer and it has been a great experience so far. Damon is extremely knowledgeable with over 30 years experience and has a great passion for teaching. What is unique about Philadelphia JiuJitsu is that it is more than a jiujitsu school as it incorporates many different martial arts. There is judo, wrestling, aikido, knife and stick fighting, and practical self-defense techniques. So you can come to a class that focuses on what you are interested in. The price is fair, the instructors are knowledgeable and whole gym is welcoming so if you are looking into learning martial arts and self defense Philadelphia jiujitsu is worth a visit

I have been wanting to get back into martial arts after a decade hiatus. I tried several other schools in the area but they didn’t speak to me. The students at Philadelphia Jiu-Jitsu are top notch. They are welcoming to beginners, train hard, and prioritize safety as well. Damon is a fountain of knowledge and puts blood sweat and tears into training his students and running his classes. He’s approachable, humble, and rolls with all the students. I’ve gained so much in the short few months I’ve been training here and I would highly recommend the school to anyone who wants to get into high quality and affordable training.

I been coming to Philadelphia Jiu Jitsu for about 3 years and for the past 3 years it has been nothing but great and exciting! Damon and the other instructors know their stuff by heart and have a large range of knowledge of the sport alongside other types of mix martial arts that you learn a lot from various forms and styles. The school is very clean and organize with a large mat so their is plenty of space for everyone to drill moves and wrestle during class hours! Highly recommend!!

I had the honor to attend a few of Damon's seminars. They were excellent!! Damon has a great knowledge base in jiujitsu, judo and other types of martial arts. He has a excellent teaching style and is patient with students new to the martial arts. There is always a positive attitude and will take time on or off the mat to answer questions and point you in the right direction. If you are looking to train in the martial arts, I would highly recommend Philadelphia Jiujitsu! You will not be disappointed.

I have been training Mixed Martial Arts for 3 years and have visited and trained in many Academies. Philadelphia Jiu Jitsu is an amazing Mixed Martial Arts school located on Cherry Street in Philadelphia. I attended a class this past week and was extremely impressed with Damon and how he runs his academy. It is obvious that Damon loves teaching his students and has a great deal of knowledge. He is very conscious of making safety a priority and monitors all students through the entire class looking at students technique and assuring safety is given from both partners during drills. He pairs up students to make sure that the more advanced student is able to help a beginner. The school is very clean and the atmosphere is very friendly with student of all levels participating in the classes. I felt very welcomed as a new student and enjoyed the class very much. I will definitely be returning when I am in the area to train there. Thank you Damon and Philly Jiu Jitsu students for giving me such a great experience.
