Gyms Details:

Head Professor: Phil Migliarese III, Ricardo Migliarese

Details: When Balance Studios opened its original location in Center City Philadelphia in 2002, Phil Migliarese had already been a Gracie affiliate since 1988. He and his brother Ricardo Migliarese learned jiu-jitsu directly from the Gracie Family, earning their black belts directly Relson Gracie, son of Helio Gracie. Their vision for Balance Studios was a place that provides the best and most conscientious martial-arts instruction in an atmosphere that is safe, clean, and organized. Balance Studios brings together Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai, and yoga together, all in the same place, for students in Center City and University City, appealing to a large and diverse student population from all walks of life. Balance Studios Center City is upgrading its brand in 2019 - moving to a new, bigger, and better location where blue mats, white walls, and complementary woodwork will accent the school’s well-established reputation as a clean and professional school providing a valued experience to students.

Kids Program Detail: LITTLE-JITSU (5-7 years old) - 'Playing their way into Gracie JiuJitsu! It’s fun and it works!'. Young children do not want to learn, they want to play! We have secretly replaced their normal games with fun activities that teach basic self defense techniques and strong physical and mental reflexes. Through “playing” martial arts games, our LittleJitsu students are “tricked” into subconsciously learning and properly executing the foundations of Gracie Jiu Jitsu - control and leverage. Using energy, enthusiasm and excitement to promote learning while playing is a key to our LittleJitsu program. Once our students master the techniques of LittleJitsu, or once they turn 8 years old, they are promoted to our KidsJiu-Jitsu class. KIDS JIU-JITSU (8-12 years old) - 'Real Gracie Jiu-Jitsu broken down for kids!'. Jiu Jitsu literally translates to “the gentle art”. As opposed to working against the force of an attack, Gracie Jiu-Jitsu manipulates the opponents energy, redirecting it into a counter maneuver. As bullying is rampant in the 8-14 age group, our Kids Jiu_Jitsu program is focused on the self defense techniques that are essential for a child to defend themselves with leverage if physically attacked by a bully. These techniques provide our students with the confidence and projection of being ready and willing to use the techniques that helped Phil and Rick change their own lives.

Woman Only Program Detail: In 2002, Balance Studios started Philadelphia’s first women’s only Jiu-Jitsu program. The Migliarese Brothers, founders of Balance, are dedicated to sharing the authentic Helio Gracie self defense system for women. The program is designed to be safe, effective and comprehensible. Jiu-Jitsu Self Defense focuses on getting away from an attacker intelligently and with as little energy as possible. This program is a blend of strength training, yoga, Brazilian jiu-jitsu self defense, and striking. The focus is on escaping dangerous situations on the street. This is not a sport but a means of survival. Both women’s only and co-ed classes are available at Balance Studios.
