What People Say
This is a great place to learn jiu jitsu and other forms of martial arts. The instructors are very friendly. After a few lessons you can tell they are genuinely good people. You'll have such a good time there you won't realize you're working out.
Went in with no experience and couldn't have had a better time. The coaching staff is great and will work with you on the side to help you get the technique down. Would recommend to all levels of experience.
If you want to learn how to really defend yourself, if you want to lose weight, if you want to improve your mental health — join Crush Crew Jiu-Jitsu. It delivers on all three.
My son was being bullied at school. After 3 months at Crush Crew, his confidence is completely different. He walks taller, his grades went up. The instructors genuinely care about the kids here. We're not leaving.
I'm 42 and thought BJJ wasn't for me. Wrong. No ego, no judgment — real instruction. I lost 22 lbs in 5 months without even trying. Professor Omar is the real deal.
Senior Stretch has been a gift. I've made real friends here. We stretch in the morning, then grab breakfast together after. Omar has built something special — it's not just a gym, it's a community.
Rep the Crew everywhere you go. Official Crush Crew apparel, stickers, rash guards, and limited drops at the Crush Crew Shop. Philly-area pride, martial arts roots.
