EXCELLENT Based on 220 reviews Posted on Google jonathan stroudAugust 25, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. SAS does a tremendous job creating a fun environment while also providing excellent training and basic skills for my son who is in the Little Lions class. Coach Anton and his staff are awesome!Posted on Google Casey and Christina RossAugust 19, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My 4 year old has been attending the Little Lions class for the last 3 months and I am so thankful another parent encouraged me to do the trial! If you’re on the fence about it - do the trial! You have nothing to lose! Anton and all the coaches are teaching the sport of jujitsu but more importantly they are coaching the kids about vital character skills. The kids are learning respect, discipline, sportsmanship, community, and resilience. Also, I have zero knowledge about jujitsu but the classes are enjoyable to watch. They are always doing different stations and activities. The pace of the class is perfect for little ones. Nearly all the kids stay highly engaged throughout the entire class. Keep up the great work SAS!Posted on Google Casey RossAugust 17, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can confirm what the other reviewers have been saying. My younger son (age 4) began training in May 2025 with Anton and the other amazing instructors and it has been a great experience for him and for us to watch. We have seen his skill and confidence improve and he seems to be really enjoying it! Even when he’s not having the best day, when we tell him it’s time for jiu jitsu he lights up and gets really excited to train. I hope our son will stick with this sport long enough to really grow into it and we know he’s in great hands at SAS Philadelphia!Posted on Google Joe NiemiecAugust 14, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Anton and his staff are top notch and im so glad to have my granddaughter part of there team... absolutely the best at what they do from the youngest of young children to the adults just fabulous. I was recommend highly to everyone and anyone!!!Posted on Google Aaron TefftAugust 14, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a work trip in Philly that led me to SAS Philly! Great people I loved the way they structured the instructional portion then had some great rolls starting on the feet which I loved! Not every gym does it right and not every gym is right for everyone. But SAS HAS IT ALL! I highly recommend if you need a place to train while you’re away from home or looking for a home gym SAS Philly is THE SPOT! Cool people clean mats great training! I’ll be back!Posted on Google PeterJuly 15, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After a few months in classes at SAS I’ve seen such an improvement in my child. Not only is she learning skills on the mat but she has become more confident in herself as a person. The coaches not only teach self defense but they also teach kindness, responsibility and respect.Posted on Google Gregory TafferJuly 15, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great culture, instructors and peers.Posted on Google Lisa LeggieriJuly 15, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My kids love SAS and Anton. All the coaches are great and there is a low teacher to student ratio. The most important thing is that my kids love it and I have watched them gain so much confidence.Posted on Google Andrew JuhasJuly 15, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. SAS has become one of my favorite places and a highlight of my son's day. Anton and his fellow instructors have created a safe and welcoming learning environment for all. The kids classes are well organized. Between the instruction, fun exercises and games, the kids learn and have fun at the same time. Becoming part of this team has been a pleasure.Posted on Google Esther KJuly 15, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We are so glad we found SAS! It's been several months since my son started in the Little Lions (4-8yo) class, and we can already see a difference in his focus and confidence. Coach Anton and the assistant coaches make learning fun while still drilling in the important of discipline and hard work. It's a hard balance to strike, and they make it look easy! I also have taken several of the adult classes and really enjoyed them. It can be nerve-wracking starting a new sport as an adult, but the coaches and gym members create an inviting atmosphere and are very patient and supportive. Coach Anton is great at breaking down the moves, so they are digestible. Of special note: I felt very comfortable as a woman at the gym. Everyone is very respective, inclusive, and welcoming. All this to say, can't recommend SAS enough!
