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.

Details: Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a martial art, combat sport, and self-defense program all rolled into one. Grappling and ground fighting are the focus of this program. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu emphasizes taking an opponent to the ground and utilizing ground fighting techniques and submission holds involving joint-locks and chokeholds also found in numerous other arts with or without ground fighting emphasis. The premise is that most of the advantage of a larger, stronger opponent comes from superior reach and more powerful strikes, both of which are somewhat negated when grappling on the ground.​The health benefits of our BJJ classes can only be viewed as positive influences in your life. They include weight loss, increased cardio strength, increased muscle mass, flexibility, self confidence, and stress reduction, to name a few.
