I did a free trial day to see if I liked the dojo. Overall I found them (staff and students) to be very friendly and knowledagble about their.
I ultimately decided it wasn't for me as knowing how to do something is different than knowing how to teach something. The classes seemed unorganized and unplanned (I took a Muay Thai and Jiu Jitsu class). The Jiu Jitsu class felt very unprofessional, the instructor, while a very cool dude, was chewing gum, cussing a lot and literally spent half the class talking about what advanced students can do instead of just running through drills and having us trying them out.
I know not everybody cares about those things, mainly wanted to write this to let beginners know they should check out multiple places and not just assume how things are run at one dojo are how they are run at all (I found another one that I like more)

Making the decision to train at Balance was probably the smartest thing I've done as an adult. In addition to world class instruction from a great group of teachers, training at Balance also brings students into a friendly and supportive community for life.

I train at BCMA under Tamdan McCrory. We are under the balance umbrella and all the seminars and classes I have taken under Phil have been extremely helpful to the growth of my jiu jitsu game.

Balance is the best. Lots of membership options, classes offered, and an absolute world class staff of instructors. The best part of my day is hitting up Balance after work or early in the morning. Really good group of people who train there, and classes are offered morning, afternoon, evenings, and weekends.

Great spot and really nice staff/students. Dropped in when i was in Philly. Would 100% join if I lived in the area.
Trained here whilst on business trip from London. Everyone's friendly and welcoming esp Phil. All the guys I sparred with are very tough and technical. Will defo return here again on my travels.
Spectacular place to train whatever your skill level! The instruction is technical, the environment is friendly. They integrate yoga approach and philosophy into the BJJ classes to make an even greater experience. I would have my wife take self-defense classes here, I would have my kids take classes here. If you are in town, do yourself a favor and check this place out!
Phil and his team are absolutely top notch! I was in town on business and they welcomed a guy from South Carolina like I was from South Philly. From the second I walked in I felt like I was home. The technique taught each class was fantastic. The training partners were awesome to roll with and learn from. The mats were clean and the atmosphere was always upbeat and positive.
Drew and Josh are tremendous Black Belts that spent extra time with me and sent me home a ton of new techniques. Take it from a purple belt that has rolled from coast to coast, you will not find better gym anywhere. Balance is the perfect place to start or continue your BJJ Journey.
Where do I start? The staff at balance is some of the most friendly, helpful and dedicated people in the business. Coming from a different place when I started out, I was shocked at how nice everyone is from Phil, Josh Vogel, Rick, etc. Rick is one of the most knowledgeable and patient instructors I ever had and taught me so much in great detail week after week. He was never frustrated when I couldn't get a move down, and always did everything above and beyond with a smile. I read some people saying it's expensive, but my response to them would be, You Get What You Pay For.
I dropped in here for two classes during a recent visit to Philly. After visiting many JiuJitsu schools across the country, I've got a good eye for quality of instruction and culture. I'm happy to report that this place hits the mark on both counts. Great vibes, excellent instruction (Both at an advanced level and beginner).
All the instructors are fantastic. You won't find a more friendly place to learn Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai. Nor will you find more high quality instruction. my favorite place to get choked out on the whole east coast!
