Daniel Gracie Delco

"Daniel Gracie Delco has been my first BJJ gym I have started training at. I have visited a couple gyms since starting but this is and will forever be my home at the end of the day. the culture of the gym is immaculate and is focused on a friendly and competitive environment. Brett is an incredible instructor who helps each student get the most out of themselves every class and always pushes them to become better."

"My daughter and I both train at Brett’s place in Delco… it is unique… there are other places… we have tried others… here however there is a level of understanding, selflessness, and support from all involved which flows down from the owners philosophy about combat arts. “We need this…” Why else would you do this ? My daughter competes regularly at both BJJ and wrestles…Brett takes the time as well as his staff to prepare her and be there for her… find her things to expand her ability and understanding… discuss her thoughtfully… so important… Regardless of your desire to compete…just do something for yourself…have your child find something fun and rewarding for their self esteem and character you can find support for that here… Definitely not a cookie cutter BJJ joint that just churns… Lessons… This is hard… Hard is fun… Other things are easier… I choose challenge… such cool things for a kid to learn… If you have the opportunity stop in and get to know the great people that gravitate here."

"When visiting family in Delco, I messaged Brett asking if I could stop in for a class. He was extremely welcoming and happy to have me drop in. Since then I've dropped in for several classes and every time I have learned something and have been impressed by the camaraderie on display. Everyone at the gym seems happy to be there and at ease with each other. I've trained at several gyms while learning Jiu-Jitsu and not every gym has that sense of camaraderie. It's a very valuable thing. Quality instruction and quality people."

"I joined Daniel Gracie Delco gym about a year ago to get myself in better shape and learn self-defense. The head coach, Brett, has been incredibly welcoming and understanding. I have a little experience in kickboxing and wrestling but I was completely uneducated about Brazilian jujitsu. Not only have they gone out of their way to make me feel welcome, both the coaching staff and the other members, but I have also found friendships and camaraderie that I was missing in my life. I could not recommend this gym more to both the first time students and long time veterans."
